    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection...

    Many programming languages require garbage collection, either as part of the language specification (e.g., RPL, Java, C#, D, [4] Go, and most scripting languages) or effectively for practical implementation (e.g., formal languages like lambda calculus). [5] These are said to be garbage-collected languages.

  3. Garbage (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_(computer_science)

    C and C++ are two well-known languages which support this model. Garbage collection uses various algorithms to automatically analyze the state of a program, identify garbage, and deallocate it without intervention by the programmer. Many modern programming languages such as Java and Haskell provide automated garbage

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

    Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages.

  5. Syntax (programming languages) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)

    In computer science, the syntax of a computer language is the rules that define the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured statements or expressions in that language. This applies both to programming languages, where the document represents source code, and to markup languages, where the document represents data.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

    The language takes its name from the slang term brainfuck, which refers to things so complicated or unusual that they exceed the limits of one's understanding, as it was not meant or made for designing actual software but to challenge the boundaries of computer programming. Because the language's name contains profanity, many substitutes are ...
