  2. Ternary conditional operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator

    The detailed semantics of "the" ternary operator as well as its syntax differs significantly from language to language. A top level distinction from one language to another is whether the expressions permit side effects (as in most procedural languages) and whether the language provides short-circuit evaluation semantics, whereby only the selected expression is evaluated (most standard ...

  3. Conditional (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    If-then-else flow diagram A nested if–then–else flow diagram. In computer science, conditionals (that is, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructs) are programming language constructs that perform different computations or actions or return different values depending on the value of a Boolean expression, called a condition.

  4. IIf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIf

    Another issue with IIf arises because it is a library function: unlike the C-derived conditional operator, both truepart and the falsepart will be evaluated regardless of which one is actually returned. In the following code snippet: value = 10 result = IIf(value = 10, TrueFunction, FalseFunction)

  5. Nesting (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nesting_(computing)

    nested blocks of imperative source code such as nested if-clauses, while-clauses, repeat-until clauses etc. information hiding: nested function definitions with lexical scope; nested data structures such as records, objects, classes, etc. nested virtualization, also called recursive virtualization: running a virtual machine inside another ...

  6. Data entry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_entry

    Data entry is the process of digitizing data by entering it into a computer system for organization and management purposes. It is a person-based process [ 1 ] and is "one of the important basic" [ 2 ] tasks needed when no machine-readable version of the information is readily available for planned computer-based analysis or processing.

  7. If and only if - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_and_only_if

    The corresponding logical symbols are "", "", [6] and , [10] and sometimes "iff".These are usually treated as equivalent. However, some texts of mathematical logic (particularly those on first-order logic, rather than propositional logic) make a distinction between these, in which the first, ↔, is used as a symbol in logic formulas, while ⇔ is used in reasoning about those logic formulas ...

  8. Branch predictor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_predictor

    Figure 3: Two-level adaptive branch predictor. Every entry in the pattern history table represents a 2-bit saturating counter of the type shown in figure 2. [12] If an if statement is executed three times, the decision made on the third execution might depend upon whether the previous two were taken or not. In such scenarios, a two-level ...

  9. Dangling else - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_else

    The dangling else is a problem in programming of parser generators in which an optional else clause in an if–then(–else) statement can make nested conditional statements ambiguous. Formally, the reference context-free grammar of the language is ambiguous , meaning there is more than one correct parse tree .
