  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    For example, one could define a dictionary having a string "toast" mapped to the integer 42 or vice versa. The keys in a dictionary must be of an immutable Python type, such as an integer or a string, because under the hood they are implemented via a hash function. This makes for much faster lookup times, but requires keys not change.

  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    The program can create a complete text representation of any group of objects by calling these methods, which are almost always already implemented in the base associative array class. [ 23 ] For programs that use very large data sets, this sort of individual file storage is not appropriate, and a database management system (DB) is required.

  4. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    A related concept is inner types, also known as inner data type or nested type, which is a generalization of the concept of inner classes. C++ is an example of a language that supports both inner classes and inner types (via typedef declarations). [30] [31] A local class is a class defined within a procedure or function. Such structure limits ...

  5. 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. [32] Python is dynamically type-checked and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional ...

  6. Decorator pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern

    The Decorator Pattern (or an implementation of this design pattern in Python - as the above example) should not be confused with Python Decorators, a language feature of Python. They are different things. Second to the Python Wiki: The Decorator Pattern is a pattern described in the Design Patterns Book.

  7. Zope Object Database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zope_Object_Database

    ZODB stores Python objects using an extended version of Python's built-in object persistence (pickle). A ZODB database has a single root object (normally a dictionary), which is the only object directly made accessible by the database. All other objects stored in the database are reached through the root object.

  8. Dictionary coder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_coder

    A dictionary coder, also sometimes known as a substitution coder, is a class of lossless data compression algorithms which operate by searching for matches between the text to be compressed and a set of strings contained in a data structure (called the 'dictionary') maintained by the encoder. When the encoder finds such a match, it substitutes ...

  9. Trie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie

    In computer science, a trie (/ ˈ t r aɪ /, / ˈ t r iː /), also known as a digital tree or prefix tree, [1] is a specialized search tree data structure used to store and retrieve strings from a dictionary or set.
