  2. find (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find_(Unix)

    In Unix-like operating systems, find is a command-line utility that locates files based on some user-specified criteria and either prints the pathname of each matched object or, if another action is requested, performs that action on each matched object.

  3. Anonymous recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_recursion

    In general programming practice, however, this is considered poor style, and recursion with named functions is suggested instead. Anonymous recursion via explicitly passing functions as arguments is possible in any language that supports functions as arguments, though this is rarely used in practice, as it is longer and less clear than ...

  4. Mutual recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_recursion

    These examples reduce easily to a single recursive function by inlining the forest function in the tree function, which is commonly done in practice: directly recursive functions that operate on trees sequentially process the value of the node and recurse on the children within one function, rather than dividing these into two separate functions.

  5. Recursive acronym - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_acronym

    A recursive acronym is an acronym that refers to itself, and appears most frequently in computer programming.The term was first used in print in 1979 in Douglas Hofstadter's book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, in which Hofstadter invents the acronym GOD, meaning "GOD Over Djinn", to help explain infinite series, and describes it as a recursive acronym.

  6. Recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

    A classic example of recursion is the definition of the factorial function, given here in Python code: def factorial ( n ): if n > 0 : return n * factorial ( n - 1 ) else : return 1 The function calls itself recursively on a smaller version of the input (n - 1) and multiplies the result of the recursive call by n , until reaching the base case ...

  7. Recursive data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_data_type

    This mutually recursive definition can be converted to a singly recursive definition by inlining the definition of a forest: t: v [t[1], ..., t[k]] A tree t consists of a pair of a value v and a list of trees (its children). This definition is more compact, but somewhat messier: a tree consists of a pair of one type and a list another, which ...

  8. grep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep

    Its name comes from the ed command g/re/p (global regular expression search and print), which has the same effect. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] grep was originally developed for the Unix operating system, but later became available for all Unix-like systems and some others such as OS-9 .

    This cannot be captured in an XML file. Converting such a binary file will result in a copy of the data element being placed into the XML file. Additionally the binary file has a UID type that is used to identify data items when serialized. The complete list of data that can be stored taken from the C code source file is as follows:
