  2. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    Folds can be regarded as consistently replacing the structural components of a data structure with functions and values. Lists, for example, are built up in many functional languages from two primitives: any list is either an empty list, commonly called nil ([]), or is constructed by prefixing an element in front of another list, creating what is called a cons node ( Cons(X1,Cons(X2,Cons ...

  3. Comparison of programming languages (list comprehension)

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

    List comprehension is a syntactic construct available in some programming languages for creating a list based on existing lists. It follows the form of the mathematical set-builder notation (set comprehension) as distinct from the use of map and filter functions.

  4. Inverted index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_index

    In computer science, an inverted index (also referred to as a postings list, postings file, or inverted file) is a database index storing a mapping from content, such as words or numbers, to its locations in a table, or in a document or a set of documents (named in contrast to a forward index, which maps from documents to content).

  5. Reverse Polish notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

    Video: Keys pressed for calculating eight times six on a HP-32SII (employing RPN) from 1991. Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as reverse Ɓukasiewicz notation, Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to prefix or Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands.

  6. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. [33] Python is dynamically type-checked and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional ...

  7. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})

  8. Tree traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_traversal

    For each i from 1 to the current node's number of subtrees − 1, or from the latter to the former for reverse traversal, do: Recursively traverse the current node's i-th subtree. Visit the current node for in-order traversal. Recursively traverse the current node's last subtree. Visit the current node for post-order traversal.

  9. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    Many programmers have become accustomed to this order, but more recent popular languages like Python [43] and Ruby [44] do have this order reversed. The relative precedence levels of operators found in many C-style languages are as follows:
