  2. Lazy initialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_initialization

    In computer programming, lazy initialization is the tactic of delaying the creation of an object, the calculation of a value, or some other expensive process until the first time it is needed.

  3. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify strings intensively, such as joining character arrays ...

  4. Strongly typed identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strongly_typed_identifier

    C# have records which provide immutability and equality testing. [1] The record is sealed to prevent inheritance. [2] It overrides the built-in ToString() method. [3]This example implementation includes a static method which can be used to initialize a new instance with a randomly generated globally unique identifier (GUID).

  5. Return statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_statement

    If a function has the return type void, the return statement can be used without a value, in which case the program just breaks out of the current function and returns to the calling one. [1] [2] Similar syntax is used in other languages including Modula-2 [3] and Python. [4] In Pascal there is no return statement. Functions or procedures ...

  7. this (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_(computer_programming)

    this, self, and Me are keywords used in some computer programming languages to refer to the object, class, or other entity which the currently running code is a part of. The entity referred to thus depends on the execution context (such as which object has its method called).

  8. Fluent interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface

    A fluent interface is normally implemented by using method chaining to implement method cascading (in languages that do not natively support cascading), concretely by having each method return the object to which it is attached [citation needed], often referred to as this or self. Stated more abstractly, a fluent interface relays the ...

  9. Constructor (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_(object...

    In class-based, object-oriented programming, a constructor (abbreviation: ctor) is a special type of function called to create an object.It prepares the new object for use, often accepting arguments that the constructor uses to set required member variables.
