  2. Futures and promises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

    In some programming languages such as Oz, E, and AmbientTalk, it is possible to obtain a read-only view of a future, which allows reading its value when resolved, but does not permit resolving it: In Oz, the !! operator is used to obtain a read-only view. In E and AmbientTalk, a future is represented by a pair of values called a promise ...

  3. Async/await - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Async/await

    A function using async/await can use as many await expressions as it wants, and each will be handled in the same way (though a promise will only be returned to the caller for the first await, while every other await will utilize internal callbacks). A function can also hold a promise object directly and do other processing first (including ...

  4. PHP syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_syntax_and_semantics

    PHP has hundreds of base functions and thousands more from extensions. Prior to PHP version 5.3.0, functions are not first-class functions and can only be referenced by their name, whereas PHP 5.3.0 introduces closures. [35] User-defined functions can be created at any time and without being prototyped. [35]

  5. Promise problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promise_problem

    In computational complexity theory, a promise problem is a generalization of a decision problem where the input is promised to belong to a particular subset of all possible inputs. [1] Unlike decision problems, the yes instances (the inputs for which an algorithm must return yes ) and no instances do not exhaust the set of all inputs.

  6. Comparison of programming languages (syntax) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    With respect to a language definition, the syntax of Comments can be classified many ways, including: Line vs. block – a line comment starts with a delimiter and continues to the end of the line ( newline marker) whereas a block comment starts with one delimiter and ends with another and can cross lines

  7. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    In computer programming, an infinite loop (or endless loop) [1] [2] is a sequence of instructions that, as written, will continue endlessly, unless an external intervention occurs, such as turning off power via a switch or pulling a plug.

  8. Free variables and bound variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_variables_and_bound...

    Tree summarizing the syntax of the expression ((()) ()) Variable-binding mechanisms occur in different contexts in mathematics, logic and computer science. In all cases, however, they are purely syntactic properties of expressions and variables in them.

  9. Yoda conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoda_conditions

    In programming jargon, Yoda conditions (also called Yoda notation) is a programming style where the two parts of an expression are reversed from the typical order in a conditional statement. A Yoda condition places the constant portion of the expression on the left side of the conditional statement.
