  2. Weak reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_reference

    In computer programming, a weak reference is a reference that does not protect the referenced object from collection by a garbage collector, unlike a strong reference.An object referenced only by weak references – meaning "every chain of references that reaches the object includes at least one weak reference as a link" – is considered weakly reachable, and can be treated as unreachable and ...

    Common file attributes supported by many common Linux file systems Attribute lsattr flag chattr option Semantics and rationale No atime updates A +A,-A: atime record is not modified when file is read/accessed. Append-only a +a,-a: Writing to file only allowed in append mode. Immutable i +i,-i

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data...

    ^ ASN.1 has X.681 (Information Object System), X.682 (Constraints), and X.683 (Parameterization) that allow for the precise specification of open types where the types of values can be identified by integers, by OIDs, etc. OIDs are a standard format for globally unique identifiers, as well as a standard notation ("absolute reference") for ...

  5. Object–relational mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object–relational_mapping

    This could be modeled in an object-oriented implementation by a "Person object" with an attribute/field to hold each data item that the entry comprises: the person's name, a list of phone numbers, and a list of addresses. The list of phone numbers would itself contain "PhoneNumber objects" and so on.

  6. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports most object oriented programming (OOP) techniques. It allows polymorphism, not only within a class hierarchy but also by duck typing. Any object can be used for any type, and it will work so long as it has the proper methods and attributes. And everything in Python is an object, including classes, functions, numbers and modules.

  7. PHP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP

    PHP has a native Boolean type that is similar to the native Boolean types in Java and C++. Using the Boolean type conversion rules, non-zero values are interpreted as true and zero as false, as in Perl and C++. [221] The null data type represents a variable that has no value; NULL is the only allowed value for this data type. [221]

  8. Object composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_composition

    Object compositions relate to, but are not the same as, data structures. Object composition refers to the logical or conceptual structure of the information, not the implementation or physical data structure used to represent it [citation needed]. For example, a sequence differs from a set because (among other things) the

  9. Interface (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_(object-oriented...

    In object-oriented programming, an interface or protocol type [a] is a data type that acts as an abstraction of a class. It describes a set of method signatures, the implementations of which may be provided by multiple classes that are otherwise not necessarily related to each other. [1]
