  2. Assignment (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_(computer_science)

    The variable is assigned the computed value, replacing the prior value of that variable. Example: Assuming that a is a numeric variable, the assignment a := 2*a means that the content of the variable a is doubled after the execution of the statement. An example segment of C code:

  3. Variable shadowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_shadowing

    In computer programming, variable shadowing occurs when a variable declared within a certain scope (decision block, method, or inner class) has the same name as a variable declared in an outer scope. At the level of identifiers (names, rather than variables), this is known as name masking .

  4. Swap (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    This method swaps two variables by adding and subtracting their values. This is rarely used in practical applications, mainly because: It can only swap numeric variables; it may not be possible or logical to add or subtract complex data types, like containers. When swapping variables of a fixed size, arithmetic overflow becomes an issue.

  5. Instance variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instance_variable

    [1] [2] An instance variable has similarities with a class variable, [3] but is non-static. An instance variable is a variable which is declared in a class but outside of constructors, methods, or blocks. Instance variables are created when an object is instantiated, and are accessible to all the constructors, methods, or blocks in the class.

  6. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    Cython compiles (a superset of) Python to C. The resulting code is also usable with Python via direct C-level API calls into the Python interpreter. PyJL compiles/transpiles a subset of Python to "human-readable, maintainable, and high-performance Julia source code". [88]

  7. Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In object-oriented programming, a class defines the shared aspects of objects created from the class. The capabilities of a class differ between programming languages, but generally the shared aspects consist of state and behavior that are each either associated with a particular object or with all objects of that class.

  8. Variable (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_(computer_science)

    If a variable is only referenced by a single identifier, that identifier can simply be called the name of the variable; otherwise, we can speak of it as one of the names of the variable. For instance, in the previous example the identifier "total_count" is the name of the variable in question, and "r" is another name of the same variable.

  9. Closure (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Even if the variable to capture is non-final, it can always be copied to a temporary final variable just before the class. Capturing of variables by reference can be emulated by using a final reference to a mutable container, for example, a one-element array. The local class will not be able to change the value of the container reference, but ...
