  2. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    In computer science, control flow (or flow of control) is the order in which individual statements, instructions or function calls of an imperative program are executed or evaluated. The emphasis on explicit control flow distinguishes an imperative programming language from a declarative programming language.

  3. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    Switch statements function somewhat similarly to the if statement used in programming languages like C/C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET, Java and exist in most high-level imperative programming languages such as Pascal, Ada, C/C++, C#, [1]: 374–375 Visual Basic .NET, Java, [2]: 157–167 and in many other types of language, using such keywords as ...

  4. Call graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_graph

    Call graphs can be dynamic or static. [4] A dynamic call graph is a record of an execution of the program, for example as output by a profiler. Thus, a dynamic call graph can be exact, but only describes one run of the program.

  5. Data-flow analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-flow_analysis

    Data-flow analysis is a technique for gathering information about the possible set of values calculated at various points in a computer program.A program's control-flow graph (CFG) is used to determine those parts of a program to which a particular value assigned to a variable might propagate.

  6. Programming paradigm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm

    In attempt to improve on procedural languages, object-oriented programming (OOP) languages were created, such as Simula, Smalltalk, C++, Eiffel, Python, PHP, Java, and C#. In these languages, data and methods to manipulate the data are in the same code unit called an object.

  7. Semaphore (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_(programming)

    In computer science, a semaphore is a variable or abstract data type used to control access to a common resource by multiple threads and avoid critical section problems in a concurrent system such as a multitasking operating system. Semaphores are a type of synchronization primitive. A trivial semaphore is a plain variable that is changed (for ...

  8. Statement (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Simple statements are complete in themselves; these include assignments, subroutine calls, and a few statements which may significantly affect the program flow of control (e.g. goto, return, stop/halt). In some languages, input and output, assertions, and exits are handled by special statements, while other languages use calls to predefined ...

  9. Metaclass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaclass

    In Python, the metaclass - type - controls these details of Car's behavior. They can be overridden by using a different metaclass instead of type . The above example contains some redundant code to do with the four attributes make , model , year , and color .
