  2. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    A common solution to this problem is a generalized concept known as archiving or serialization, which produces a text or binary representation of the original objects that can be written directly to a file. This is most commonly implemented in the underlying object model, like .Net or Cocoa, which includes standard functions that convert the ...

    For example, one could define a dictionary having a string "toast" mapped to the integer 42 or vice versa. The keys in a dictionary must be of an immutable Python type, such as an integer or a string, because under the hood they are implemented via a hash function. This makes for much faster lookup times, but requires keys not change.

  4. Foreach loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreach_loop

    The types of objects that can be iterated across (my_list in the example) are based on classes that inherit from the library class ITERABLE. The iteration form of the Eiffel loop can also be used as a boolean expression when the keyword loop is replaced by either all (effecting universal quantification) or some (effecting existential ...

  5. Iterator - Wikipedia

    The next example illustrates a PHP class that implements the Traversable interface, which could be wrapped in an IteratorIterator class to act upon the data before it is returned to the foreach loop. The usage together with the MYSQLI_USE_RESULT constant allows PHP scripts to iterate result sets with billions of rows with very little memory usage.

  6. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    In computer science, a for-loop or for loop is a control flow statement for specifying iteration. Specifically, a for-loop functions by running a section of code repeatedly until a certain condition has been satisfied. For-loops have two parts: a header and a body. The header defines the iteration and the body is the code executed once per ...

  7. Loop dependence analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_dependence_analysis

    Using the analysis of these relationships, execution of the loop can be organized to allow multiple processors to work on different portions of the loop in parallel. This is known as parallel processing. In general, loops can consume a lot of processing time when executed as serial code. Through parallel processing, it is possible to reduce the ...

  8. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    If a solution has been recorded, we can use it directly, otherwise we solve the sub-problem and add its solution to the table. Bottom-up approach : Once we formulate the solution to a problem recursively as in terms of its sub-problems, we can try reformulating the problem in a bottom-up fashion: try solving the sub-problems first and use their ...

  9. Loop invariant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_invariant

    Loop-invariant code consists of statements or expressions that can be moved outside a loop body without affecting the program semantics. Such transformations, called loop-invariant code motion, are performed by some compilers to optimize programs. A loop-invariant code example (in the C programming language) is
