Understanding Delegation in iOS Development: A Powerful Concept for Efficient Communication Between View Controllers and Non-View Controller Objects
Understanding Delegation in iOS Development Delegation is a powerful concept in iOS development that allows objects to communicate with each other without directly referencing one another. In this article, we’ll explore how delegation can be used to set up a hierarchy between view controllers and a non-view controller, such as a web service. What is Delegation? Delegation is a design pattern that enables objects to send messages to each other through an intermediary object, known as the delegate.

Rounding Values in Stargazer Summary Statistics Tables: A Flexible Approach
Rounding to 0 in Stargazer Summary Stats Problem Statement When creating summary statistics tables with the stargazer package in R, large variables can result in decimal values. However, we often want to display these values as integers only for smaller variables, without decimals. For example, consider a dataset with two variables: one with mean values greater than 1000 and another with mean values less than 1. In this case, we would like the larger variable to be displayed without decimals, while keeping the smaller variable in its original format.
