  2. Context-free grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-free_grammar

    Context-free grammars are a special form of Semi-Thue systems that in their general form date back to the work of Axel Thue. The formalism of context-free grammars was developed in the mid-1950s by Noam Chomsky , [ 3 ] and also their classification as a special type of formal grammar (which he called phrase-structure grammars ).

    The correct number of sections for a fence is n − 1 if the fence is a free-standing line segment bounded by a post at each of its ends (e.g., a fence between two passageway gaps), n if the fence forms one complete, free-standing loop (e.g., enclosure accessible by surmounting, such as a boxing ring), or n + 1 if posts do not occur at the ends ...

  4. Most vexing parse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_vexing_parse

    The most vexing parse is a counterintuitive form of syntactic ambiguity resolution in the C++ programming language. In certain situations, the C++ grammar cannot distinguish between the creation of an object parameter and specification of a function's type. In those situations, the compiler is required to interpret the line as a function type ...

  5. Free-form language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-form_language

    Free-form languages allow a greater degree of flexibility and have fewer syntactic rules to learn, which could lower the entry barrier for beginners. [1] Most free-form languages descend from ALGOL, including C, Pascal, and Perl. Lisp languages are free-form, although they do not descend from ALGOL.

    The C++ standard library is a collection of utilities that are shipped with C++ for use by any C++ programmer. It includes input and output, multi-threading, time, regular expressions, algorithms for common tasks, and less common ones (find, for_each, swap, etc.) and lists, maps and hash maps (and the equivalent for sets) and a class called vector that is a resizable array.

  7. Exception handling (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling...

    (It was the addition of exception handling to C++ that ended the useful lifetime of the original C++ compiler, Cfront. [18]) Two schemes are most common. The first, dynamic registration, generates code that continually updates structures about the program state in terms of exception handling. [19]

  8. Type signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_signature

    And in the disassembled bytecode, it takes the form of Lsome / package / Main / main:([Ljava / lang / String;) V. The method signature for the main() method contains three modifiers: public indicates that the main method can be called by any object. static indicates that the main method is a class method. void indicates that the main method has ...

  9. Bound and free morphemes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bound_and_free_morphemes

    A form is a free form if it can occur in isolation as a complete utterance, e.g. Johnny is running, or Johnny, or running (this can occur as the answer to a question such as What is he doing?). [3] A form that cannot occur in isolation is a bound form, e.g. -y, is, and -ing (in Johnny is running). Non-occurrence in isolation is given as the ...
