  2. Figure of speech - Wikipedia

    For example, the phrase, "John, my best friend" uses the scheme known as apposition. Tropes (from Greek trepein, 'to turn') change the general meaning of words. An example of a trope is irony, which is the use of words to convey the opposite of their usual meaning ("For Brutus is an honorable man; / So are they all, all honorable men").

  3. Argumentation scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentation_scheme

    As in this example, argumentation schemes typically recognize a variety of semantic (or substantive) relations that inference rules in classical logic ignore. [2]: 19 More than one argumentation scheme may apply to the same argument; in this example, the more complex abductive argumentation scheme may also apply.

    The tag name can be any sequence of alphanumeric characters that may be used to indicate how the enclosed block is to be deciphered. For example, #<latex> could indicate the start of a block of LaTeX formatted documentation. Scheme and Racket. The next complete syntactic component (s-expression) can be commented out with #;. ABAP

  6. Comparison of programming languages by type system

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    This is a comparison of the features of the type systems and type checking of multiple programming languages. Brief definitions A nominal type system means that the language decides whether types are compatible and/or equivalent based on explicit declarations and names.

  7. Scheme (rhetoric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(rhetoric)

    In rhetoric, a scheme is a type of figure of speech that relies on the structure of the sentence, unlike the trope, which plays with the meanings of words. [ 1 ] A single phrase may involve both a trope and a scheme, e.g., may use both alliteration and allegory .

  8. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string. See for example Concatenation below.

  9. Register renaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_renaming

    Register writes in the instruction cause a new, non-ready tag to be written into the rename file. The tag number is usually serially allocated in instruction order—no free tag FIFO is necessary. Just as with the tag-indexed scheme, the issue queues wait for non-ready operands to see matching tag broadcasts.
