  2. Data-driven programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-driven_programming

    Data-driven programming is similar to event-driven programming, in that both are structured as pattern matching and resulting processing, and are usually implemented by a main loop, though they are typically applied to different domains.

  3. Comment (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Most languages support multi-line block (a.k.a. stream) and/or single line comments. A comment block or sequence of line comments located near the top of an associated programming topic, such as before a symbol declaration or at the top of a file, is called a prologue comment.

  4. Stream (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_(computing)

    The term "stream" is used in a number of similar ways: "Stream editing", as with sed, awk, and perl. Stream editing processes a file or files, in-place, without having to load the file(s) into a user interface. One example of such use is to do a search and replace on all the files in a directory, from the command line.

    He first wrote a paper on ways to improve microcoding, but later changed his mind and decided microcode itself was the problem. With funding from the DARPA VLSI Program, Patterson started the Berkeley RISC effort. The Program, practically unknown today, led to a huge number of advances in chip design, fabrication, and even computer graphics.

    Also simply application or app. Computer software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. Common examples of applications include word processors, spreadsheets, accounting applications, web browsers, media players, aeronautical flight simulators, console games, and photo editors. This contrasts with system software, which is ...

  7. Stream (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_(abstract_data_type)

    In type theory and functional programming, a stream is a potentially infinite analog of a list, given by the coinductive definition: [1] [2] data Stream α = Nil | Cons α ( Stream α ) Generating and computing with streams requires lazy evaluation , either implicitly in a lazily evaluated language or by creating and forcing thunks in an eager ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include:

  9. Wrapper function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrapper_function

    A wrapper function is a function (another word for a subroutine) in a software library or a computer program whose main purpose is to call a second subroutine [1] or a system call with little or no additional computation. Wrapper functions simplify writing computer programs by abstracting the details of a subroutine's implementation.
