  2. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    Early ALGOL compilers supported a SWITCH data type which contains a list of "designational expressions". A GOTO statement could reference a switch variable and, by providing an index, branch to the desired destination. With experience it was realized that a more formal multi-way construct, with single point of entrance and exit, was needed.

  3. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports normal floating point numbers, which are created when a dot is used in a literal (e.g. 1.1), when an integer and a floating point number are used in an expression, or as a result of some mathematical operations ("true division" via the / operator, or exponentiation with a negative exponent).

  4. Context switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_switch

    A task switch can be explicitly triggered with a CALL or JMP instruction targeted at a TSS descriptor in the global descriptor table. It can occur implicitly when an interrupt or exception is triggered if there's a task gate in the interrupt descriptor table (IDT). When a task switch occurs the CPU can automatically load the new state from the TSS.

  5. Syntax (programming languages) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)

    Parse tree of Python code with inset tokenization. The syntax of textual programming languages is usually defined using a combination of regular expressions (for lexical structure) and Backus–Naur form (a metalanguage for grammatical structure) to inductively specify syntactic categories (nonterminal) and terminal symbols.

  6. Construct (Python library) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construct_(Python_library)

    Construct is a Python library for the construction and deconstruction of data structures in a declarative fashion. In this context, construction, or building, refers to the process of converting (serializing) a programmatic object into a binary representation.

    "Monty from Hell": The host offers the option to switch only when the player's initial choice is the winning door. [4] Switching always yields a goat. "Mind-reading Monty": The host offers the option to switch in case the guest is determined to stay anyway or in case the guest will switch to a goat. [33] Switching always yields a goat.

  9. P4 (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P4_(programming_language)

    P4 is a programming language for controlling packet forwarding planes in networking devices, such as routers and switches. In contrast to a general purpose language such as C or Python, P4 is a domain-specific language with a number of constructs optimized for network data forwarding.
