Red [Title: "A factorial script"]; Note: The title is optional. factorial: func [x [integer! ] ; Giving the type of an argument in Red is optional ][ either x = 0 [ 1 ][ x * factorial x - 1 ] ] The following is the same factorial example in Red/System (in this very simple case, the source code is very similar to Red's version):
Here is a sample definition of a function calculating the factorial recursively function f(x) = ( if x <= 1 then 1 else (f(x-1)*x) ) GEL contains primitives for writing the product iteratively and hence we can get the following iterative version function f(x) = prod k=1 to x do k
The code above specifies a list of strings to be either empty, or a structure that contains a string and a list of strings. The self-reference in the definition permits the construction of lists of any (finite) number of strings. Another example of inductive definition is the natural numbers (or positive integers):
Common notations are prefix notation (e.g. ¬, −), postfix notation (e.g. factorial n!), functional notation (e.g. sin x or sin(x)), and superscripts (e.g. transpose A T). Other notations exist as well, for example, in the case of the square root, a horizontal bar extending the square root sign over the argument can indicate the extent of the ...
Many files have such constants that identify the contained data. Detecting such constants in files is a simple and effective way of distinguishing between many file formats and can yield further run-time information. Examples. Compiled Java class files and Mach-O binaries start with hex CAFEBABE.
Python's is operator may be used to compare object identities (comparison by reference), and comparisons may be chained—for example, a <= b <= c. Python uses and, or, and not as Boolean operators. Python has a type of expression named a list comprehension, and a more general expression named a generator expression. [78]
File descriptors for a single process, file table and inode table. Note that multiple file descriptors can refer to the same file table entry (e.g., as a result of the dup system call [3]: 104 ) and that multiple file table entries can in turn refer to the same inode (if it has been opened multiple times; the table is still simplified because it represents inodes by file names, even though an ...
The 1D Haar wavelet transform of an integer-power-of-two-length list of numbers can be implemented very succinctly in Caml and is an excellent example of the use of pattern matching over lists, taking pairs of elements (h1 and h2) off the front and storing their sums and differences on the lists s and d, respectively:
