    Some people (including Guido van Rossum himself) have called this parameter-passing scheme "call by object reference". An object reference means a name, and the passed reference is an "alias", i.e. a copy of the reference to the same object, just as in C/C++. The object's value may be changed in the called function with the "alias", for example:

  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    Any existing mapping is overwritten. The arguments to this operation are the key and the value. Remove or delete remove a (,) pair from the collection, unmapping a given key from its value. The argument to this operation is the key. Lookup, find, or get find the value (if any) that is bound to a given key.

  4. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    In computing, a hash table is a data structure that implements an associative array, also called a dictionary or simply map; an associative array is an abstract data type that maps keys to values. [2] A hash table uses a hash function to compute an index, also called a hash code, into an array of buckets or slots, from which the desired value ...

    The format is the same as for any entity reference: &name; where name is the case-sensitive name of the entity. The semicolon is required. Because numbers are harder for humans to remember than names, character entity references are most often written by humans, while numeric character references are most often produced by computer programs.

  6. Key–value database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyvalue_database

    A tabular data card proposed for Babbage's Analytical Engine showing a keyvalue pair, in this instance a number and its base-ten logarithm. A keyvalue database, or keyvalue store, is a data storage paradigm designed for storing, retrieving, and managing associative arrays, and a data structure more commonly known today as a dictionary or hash table.

    Default value; Prompt type, such as drop-down list, combo-box, check-boxes, range, etc. Is-required (Boolean) - If 'true', the value can not be blank, null, or only white-spaces; Is-read-only (Boolean) Reference table name, if a foreign key.

    In a database, a table is a collection of related data organized in table format; consisting of columns and rows.. In relational databases, and flat file databases, a table is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows, the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect.

  9. List of XML and HTML character entity references - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML...

    In SGML, HTML and XML documents, the logical constructs known as character data and attribute values consist of sequences of characters, in which each character can manifest directly (representing itself), or can be represented by a series of characters called a character reference, of which there are two types: a numeric character reference and a character entity reference.
