1
Print a literal string on standard output
print("Hello World");
2
Loop to execute some code a constant number of times
print("Hello\n" * 10);
Alternative implementation:
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
  print("Hello");
3
Like a function which doesn't return any value, thus has only side effects (e.g. Print to standard output)
void finish(String name) {
  print("My job here is done. Goodbye $name.");
}
4
Create a function which returns the square of an integer
int square(int x) => x * x;
5

class Point {
  double x, y;
}
Alternative implementation:
class Point {
  double x, y;
  Point(this.x, this.y);
}
6
Do something with each item x of the list (or array) items, regardless indexes.
items.forEach(doSomething);
7

  print('index=$i, value=$x');
});
8
Create a new map object x, and provide some (key, value) pairs as initial content.
var x = {
	"one": 1,
	"two": 2
};
9
The structure must be recursive because left child and right child are binary trees too. A node has access to children nodes, but not to its parent.
class Node<T> {
  final T value;
  Node<T> left, right;
  Node(this.value, {this.left, this.right});
}
10
Generate a random permutation of the elements of list x

   if (bt == null) return;
   traverse(bt.left, f);
   f(bt.value);
   traverse(bt.right, f);
}
17
The structure must be recursive. A node may have zero or more children. A node has access to its children nodes, but not to its parent.
class Node<T> {
  final T value;
  final List<Node<T>> children;
  Node(this.value, this.children);
}
  
18
Call a function f on every node of a tree, in depth-first prefix order
traverse(Tree node, f(value)) {
  f(node.value);
  for (var child in node.children) { 
    traverse(child, f);
  }
}

  Position(this.i, this.j);
}
Position search(List<List> m, x) {
  for (var i = 0; i < m.length; i++) {
    var line = m[i];
    for (var j = 0; j < line.length; j++) {
      if (line[j] == x) {
        return new Position(i, j);
      }
    }
  }
  return null;
}
21

23
Given a real number x, create its string representation s with 2 decimal digits following the dot.
var s = x.toStringAsFixed(2);
24
Declare a new string s and initialize it with the literal value "ネコ" (which means "cat" in japanese)
var s = "ネコ";
25
Share the string value "Alan" with an existing running process which will then display "Hello, Alan"
sendPort.send("value");
26

                    new List.filled(p, 0.0), 
                    growable: false), 
                growable: false);

Alternative implementation:
items.sort((a, b) => (a.p).compareTo(b.p));
29

Note that in most languages, the smallest valid value for i is 0.
items.removeAt(i);
30
Launch the concurrent execution of procedure f with parameter i from 1 to 1000.
Tasks are independent and f(i) doesn't return any value.

  Isolate.spawn(f,i);   
}

  outer: for (var v in a) {
    for (var w in b) {
      if (w == v) continue outer;
    }
    print(v);
  }
}
43
Look for a negative value v in 2D integer matrix m. Print it and stop searching.

  for (var j = 0; j < m[i].length; j++) {
    if (m[i][j] < 0) {
      print("Negative value found at $i,$j: ${m[i][j]}");
      break OUTER;
    }
  }
}

Set i to the first index in list items at which the element x can be found, or -1 if items does not contain x.
i=items.indexOf(x)
223
Loop through list items checking a condition. Do something else if no matches are found.

A typical use case is looping through a series of containers looking for one that matches a condition. If found, an item is inserted; otherwise, a new container is created.

These are mostly used as an inner nested loop, and in a location where refactoring inner logic into a separate function reduces clarity.
print(items.any((element) => element == "baz")
    ? "found it"
    : "did not find it");
224
Insert the element x at the beginning of the list items.
items = [x, ...items];

var x = condition() ? "a" : "b";
254
Replace all exact occurrences of "foo" with "bar" in the string list x
x = x.map((e) => e == 'foo' ? 'bar' : e).toList();
Alternative implementation:
for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
  if (x[i] == 'foo') x[i] = 'bar';
}
255
Print the values of the set x to the standard output.
The order of the elements is irrelevant and is not required to remain the same next time.

while (n.isEven && n != 0) {
  t++;
  n = n >> 1;
}
Alternative implementation:
t = n.toRadixString(2)
	.split('')
	.reversed
	.takeWhile((e) => e == '0')
	.length;
Alternative implementation:
t = n.bitLength - 1 - n.toRadixString(2).lastIndexOf('1');
264
Pass a two-dimensional integer array a to a procedure foo and print the size of the array in each dimension. Do not pass the bounds manually. Call the procedure with a two-dimensional array.

  }
}
269

270
Given a floating point number r1 classify it as follows:
If it is a signaling NaN, print "This is a signaling NaN."
If it is a quiet NaN, print "This s a quiet NaN."

  } else {
    print("Not related.");
  }
}
272
Fizz buzz is a children's counting game, and a trivial programming task used to affirm that a programmer knows the basics of a language: loops, conditions and I/O.

The typical fizz buzz game is to count from 1 to 100, saying each number in turn. When the number is divisible by 3, instead say "Fizz". When the number is divisible by 5, instead say "Buzz". When the number is divisible by both 3 and 5, say "FizzBuzz"
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
  var s = StringBuffer();
  if (i % 3 == 0) s.write("Fizz");
  if (i % 5 == 0) s.write("Buzz");
  if (s.isEmpty) s.write(i);
  print(s);
}
