  2. Garbage collection (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection...

    Stop-and-copy garbage collection in a Lisp architecture: [1] Memory is divided into working and free memory; new objects are allocated in the former. When it is full (depicted), garbage collection is performed: All data structures still in use are located by pointer tracing and copied into consecutive locations in free memory.

  3. Garbage in, garbage out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_in,_garbage_out

    In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality ("garbage") information or input produces a result or output of similar ("garbage") quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.

  4. Garbage (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_(computer_science)

    Garbage consumes heap memory, and thus one wishes to collect it (to minimize memory use, allow faster memory allocation, and prevent out-of-memory errors by reducing heap fragmentation and memory use). However, collecting garbage takes time and, if done manually, requires coding overhead.

  5. Selenium (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium_(software)

    Selenium Remote Control was a refactoring of Driven Selenium or Selenium B designed by Paul Hammant, credited with Jason as co-creator of Selenium. The original version directly launched a process for the browser in question, from the test language of Java, .NET, Python or Ruby.

  6. String interning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning

    The distinct values are stored in a string intern pool. The single copy of each string is called its intern and is typically looked up by a method of the string class, for example String.intern() [2] in Java. All compile-time constant strings in Java are automatically interned using this method. [3]

  7. Uncontrolled format string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_format_string

    Most of these are only useful for detecting bad format strings that are known at compile-time. If the format string may come from the user or from a source external to the application, the application must validate the format string before using it. Care must also be taken if the application generates or selects format strings on the fly.

  8. Immutable object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immutable_object

    Now the String s references a new String object that contains "abc". There is nothing in the syntax of the declaration of the class String that enforces it as immutable; rather, none of the String class's methods ever affect the data that a String object contains, thus making it immutable.

  9. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    The format with hyphens was introduced with the newer variant system. Before that, the legacy Apollo format used a slightly different format: 34dc23469000.0d.00.00.7c.5f.00.00.00. The first part is the time (time_high and time_low combined). The reserved field is skipped.
