  2. 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})

  3. Don't repeat yourself - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself

    "Don't repeat yourself" (DRY), also known as "duplication is evil", is a principle of software development aimed at reducing repetition of information which is likely to change, replacing it with abstractions that are less likely to change, or using data normalization which avoids redundancy in the first place.

  4. Set operations (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_operations_(SQL)

    For purposes of row elimination and duplicate removal, the EXCEPT operator does not distinguish between NULLs. The EXCEPT ALL operator does not remove duplicates, but if a row appears X times in the first query and Y times in the second, it will appear max ( X − Y , 0 ) {\displaystyle \max(X-Y,0)} times in the result set.

  5. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    A function definition starts with the name of the type of value that it returns or void to indicate that it does not return a value. This is followed by the function name, formal arguments in parentheses, and body lines in braces. In C++, a function declared in a class (as non-static) is called a member function or method.

  6. Table (database) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_(database)

    In a database, a table is a collection of related data organized in table format; consisting of columns and rows.. In relational databases, and flat file databases, a table is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows, the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect.

    Throughout this article, capital letters (such as ,,,,, and ) will denote sets.On the left hand side of an identity, typically, will be the leftmost set, will be the middle set, and

  8. Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    The more fine-grained the available locks, the less likely one process/thread will request a lock held by the other. (For example, locking a row rather than the entire table, or locking a cell rather than the entire row); deadlock: the situation when each of at least two tasks is waiting for a lock that the other task holds. Unless something is ...

  9. Static single-assignment form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single-assignment_form

    Φ functions are not implemented as machine operations on most machines. A compiler can implement a Φ function by inserting "move" operations at the end of every predecessor block. In the example above, the compiler might insert a move from y 1 to y 3 at the end of the middle-left block and a move from y 2 to y 3 at the end of the middle-right ...
