  2. Shell script - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_script

    A shell script can provide a convenient variation of a system command where special environment settings, command options, or post-processing apply automatically, but in a way that allows the new script to still act as a fully normal Unix command. One example would be to create a version of ls, the command to list files, giving it a shorter ...

  3. Polymorphic code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphic_code

    For example, the simple math expressions 3+1 and 6-2 both achieve the same result, yet run with different machine code in a CPU. This technique is sometimes used by computer viruses, shellcodes and computer worms to hide their presence. [1] Encryption is the most common method to hide code.

  4. Polymorphism (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_(computer...

    Polymorphism can be distinguished by when the implementation is selected: statically (at compile time) or dynamically (at run time, typically via a virtual function). This is known respectively as static dispatch and dynamic dispatch, and the corresponding forms of polymorphism are accordingly called static polymorphism and dynamic polymorphism.

  5. Dynamic dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_dispatch

    Polymorphism is the phenomenon wherein somewhat interchangeable objects each expose an operation of the same name but possibly differing in behavior. As an example, a File object and a Database object both have a StoreRecord method that can be used to write a personnel record to storage. Their implementations differ.

  6. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Addition is a binary operation, which means it has two operands.In C++, the arguments being passed are the operands, and the temp object is the returned value.. The operation could also be defined as a class method, replacing lhs by the hidden this argument; However, this forces the left operand to be of type Time:

  7. Parametric polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_polymorphism

    Impredicative polymorphism (also called first-class polymorphism) is the most powerful form of parametric polymorphism. [1]: 340 In formal logic, a definition is said to be impredicative if it is self-referential; in type theory, it refers to the ability for a type to be in the domain of a quantifier it contains. This allows the instantiation ...

  8. Polymorphic recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphic_recursion

    Notable examples of systems employing polymorphic recursion include Dussart, Henglein and Mossin's binding-time analysis [2] and the Tofte–Talpin region-based memory management system. [3] As these systems assume the expressions have already been typed in an underlying type system (not necessary employing polymorphic recursion), inference can ...

  9. Method overriding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_overriding

    Thought dates = new Advice (); // Polymorphism dates. message (); // Prints "Warning: Dates in calendar are closer than they appear." When a subclass contains a method that overrides a method of the superclass, then that (superclass's) overridden method can be explicitly invoked from within a subclass's method by using the keyword super .
