  2. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    For example, a program might contain several calls to read files, but the action to perform when a file is not found depends on the meaning (purpose) of the file in question to the program and thus a handling routine for this abnormal situation cannot be located in low-level system code.

  3. Structured programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_programming

    Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed at improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making specific disciplined use of the structured control flow constructs of selection (if/then/else) and repetition (while and for), block structures, and subroutines.

  4. Programming paradigm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm

    Programming paradigms can also be compared with programming models, which allows invoking an execution model by using only an API. Programming models can also be classified into paradigms based on features of the execution model. For parallel computing, using a programming model instead of a language is common. The reason is that details of the ...

  5. Observer pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern

    A sample UML class and sequence diagram for the observer design pattern. [6] In this UML class diagram, the Subject class does not update the state of dependent objects directly. Instead, Subject refers to the Observer interface (update()) for updating state, which makes the Subject independent of how the state of dependent objects is updated.

  6. Travelling salesman problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

    Solution of a travelling salesman problem: the black line shows the shortest possible loop that connects every red dot. In the theory of computational complexity, the travelling salesman problem (TSP) asks the following question: "Given a list of cities and the distances between each pair of cities, what is the shortest possible route that visits each city exactly once and returns to the ...

  7. Skeleton (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Skeleton_(computer_programming)

    This method of programming is easier than writing a complete function, as these skeleton functions do not have to include main functionalities and can instead be hardcoded to use during development. They usually involve syntactically correct code to introduce the method, as well as comments to indicate the operation of the program.

  8. Guarded Command Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarded_Command_Language

    The Guarded Command Language (GCL) is a programming language defined by Edsger Dijkstra for predicate transformer semantics in EWD472. [1] It combines programming concepts in a compact way. It makes it easier to develop a program and its proof hand-in-hand, with the proof ideas leading the way; moreover, parts of a program can actually be ...

  9. Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

    A more complex example would be a command consisting of the length and code point of the command and values consisting of linearized objects representing the command's parameters. Each such command must be directed by the server to an object whose class (or superclass) recognizes the command and can provide the requested service.
