  2. Semaphore (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_(programming)

    The V operation is the inverse: it makes a resource available again after the process has finished using it. One important property of semaphore S is that its value cannot be changed except by using the V and P operations. A simple way to understand wait (P) and signal (V) operations is: wait: Decrements the value of the semaphore variable by 1.

    In object-oriented programming, classes can contain attributes and methods. An attribute in a relational database can be represented as a column or field. In computing, an attribute is a specification that defines a property of an object, element, or file. It may also refer to or set the specific value for a given instance of such.

    The Yield method is provided in various object-oriented programming languages with multithreading support, such as C# and Java. [2] OOP languages generally provide class abstractions for thread objects. yield in Kotlin

    Multiple dispatch or multimethods is a feature of some programming languages in which a function or method can be dynamically dispatched based on the run-time (dynamic) type or, in the more general case, some other attribute of more than one of its arguments. [1]

  8. Memory ordering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_ordering

    Here the original value of *sum is overwritten before its first access, and instead we obtain the algebraic equivalent of: // algebraic equivalent of the aliased case above *sum = (*a + *b) + (*a + *b); which assigns an entirely different value into *sum due to the statement rearrangement.

  9. Immutable object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immutable_object

    In object-oriented (OO) and functional programming, an immutable object (unchangeable [1] object) is an object whose state cannot be modified after it is created. [2] This is in contrast to a mutable object (changeable object), which can be modified after it is created. [ 3 ]
