  2. Evaluation strategy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_strategy

    In a programming language, an evaluation strategy is a set of rules for evaluating expressions. [1] The term is often used to refer to the more specific notion of a parameter-passing strategy [2] that defines the kind of value that is passed to the function for each parameter (the binding strategy) [3] and whether to evaluate the parameters of a function call, and if so in what order (the ...

  3. Parameter (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameter_(computer...

    The specification for pass-by-reference or pass-by-value would be made in the function declaration and/or definition. Parameters appear in procedure definitions; arguments appear in procedure calls. In the function definition f(x) = x*x the variable x is a parameter; in the function call f(2) the value 2 is the argument of the function. Loosely ...

  4. Value type and reference type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_type_and_reference_type

    Many languages have explicit pointers or references. Reference types differ from these in that the entities they refer to are always accessed via references; for example, whereas in C++ it's possible to have either a std:: string and a std:: string *, where the former is a mutable string and the latter is an explicit pointer to a mutable string (unless it's a null pointer), in Java it is only ...

  5. Query string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string

    A query string is a part of a uniform resource locator that assigns values to specified parameters.A query string commonly includes fields added to a base URL by a Web browser or other client application, for example as part of an HTML document, choosing the appearance of a page, or jumping to positions in multimedia content.

  6. JSONPath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONPath

    JSON Pointer [10] defines a string syntax for identifying a single value within a given JSON value of known structure. JSONiq [11] is a query and transformation language for JSON. XPath 3.1 [12] is an expression language that allows the processing of values conforming to the XDM [13] data model. The version 3.1 of XPath supports JSON as well as ...

  7. Store-passing style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Store-passing_style

    Store-passing style is a programming technique that is used to model mutable state without using mutable state. [1] [2] It generally arises in the conversion of imperative programs into purely functional ones. So, for instance, consider this JavaScript program, written in a non-store-passing-style:

  8. Ampersand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand

    In C++ and PHP, unary prefix & before a formal parameter of a function denotes pass-by-reference. [26] [27] In Pascal, the & as the first character of an identifier prevents the compiler from treating it as a keyword, thus escaping it. In Fortran, the ampersand forces the compiler to treat two lines as one. This is accomplished by placing an ...

  9. JavaScript syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_syntax

    The string is converted to a number value. JavaScript attempts to convert the string numeric literal to a Number type value. First, a mathematical value is derived from the string numeric literal. Next, this value is rounded to nearest Number type value. Boolean
