  2. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    In other cases a future and a promise are created together and associated with each other: the future is the value, the promise is the function that sets the value – essentially the return value (future) of an asynchronous function (promise). Setting the value of a future is also called resolving, fulfilling, or binding it.

  3. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    A function using async/await can use as many await expressions as it wants, and each will be handled in the same way (though a promise will only be returned to the caller for the first await, while every other await will utilize internal callbacks). A function can also hold a promise object directly and do other processing first (including ...

  5. Callback (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer programming, a callback is a function that is stored as data (a reference) and designed to be called by another function – often back to the original abstraction layer. A function that accepts a callback parameter may be designed to call back before returning to its caller which is known as synchronous or blocking.

  6. Comparison of Java and C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Java_and_C++

    Direct access from Java to native operating system and hardware functions requires the use of the Java Native Interface, or since Java 21, the Foreign Function and Memory API, which allow for allocating and managing memory outside of the Java Virtual Machine, as well as calling native (i.e. C/C++) functions.

  7. Generator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, a generator is a routine that can be used to control the iteration behaviour of a loop.All generators are also iterators. [1] A generator is very similar to a function that returns an array, in that a generator has parameters, can be called, and generates a sequence of values.

  8. Continuation-passing style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style

    This function has one argument of a function type; that function argument accepts the function too, which discards all computations going after its call. For example, let's break the execution of the pyth function if at least one of its arguments is negative returning zero:

  9. Function object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_object

    In Python, functions are first-class objects, just like strings, numbers, lists etc. This feature eliminates the need to write a function object in many cases. Any object with a __call__() method can be called using function-call syntax. An example is this accumulator class (based on Paul Graham's study on programming language syntax and ...
