  2. Sentinel node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_node

    Linked list implementations, especially one of a circular, doubly-linked list, can be simplified remarkably using a sentinel node to demarcate the beginning and end of the list. The list starts out with a single node, the sentinel node which has the next and previous pointers point to itself. This condition determines if the list is empty.

  3. Comparison of version-control software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_version...

    Merge tracking: describes whether a system remembers what changes have been merged between which branches and only merges the changes that are missing when merging one branch into another. End of line conversions: describes whether a system can adapt the end of line characters for text files such that they match the end of line style for the ...

  5. Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

    A program may create many instances of objects as it runs, which operate independently. This technique, it is claimed, allows easy re-use of the same procedures and data definitions for different sets of data, in addition to potentially mirroring real-world relationships intuitively.

  6. Self-modifying code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-modifying_code

    Each time the program rewrites a part of itself, the rewritten part must be loaded into the cache again, which results in a slight delay, if the modified codelet shares the same cache line with the modifying code, as is the case when the modified memory address is located within a few bytes to the one of the modifying code.

  7. Branch table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table

    In computer programming, a branch table or jump table is a method of transferring program control to another part of a program (or a different program that may have been dynamically loaded) using a table of branch or jump instructions. It is a form of multiway branch.

  8. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  9. Branching (version control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_(version_control)

    The users of the version control system can branch any branch. Branches are also known as trees, streams or codelines. The originating branch is sometimes called the parent branch, the upstream branch (or simply upstream, especially if the branches are maintained by different organizations or individuals), or the backing stream.
