  2. Syntactic sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar

    For example, many programming languages provide special syntax for referencing and updating array elements. Abstractly, an array reference is a procedure of two arguments: an array and a subscript vector, which could be expressed as get_array(Array, vector(i,j)). Instead, many languages provide syntax such as Array[i,j].

  3. Method cascading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_cascading

    Cascading is syntactic sugar that eliminates the need to list the object repeatedly. This is particularly used in fluent interfaces , which feature many method calls on a single object. This is particularly useful if the object is the value of a lengthy expression, as it eliminates the need to either list the expression repeatedly or use a ...

  4. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Operator overloading is syntactic sugar, and is used because it allows programming using notation nearer to the target domain [1] and allows user-defined types a similar level of syntactic support as types built into a language. It is common, for example, in scientific computing, where it allows computing representations of mathematical objects ...

    the Add method, which adds a key and value and throws an exception if the key already exists in the dictionary; assigning to the indexer, which overwrites any existing value, if present; and; assigning to the backing property of the indexer, for which the indexer is syntactic sugar (not applicable to C#, see F# or VB.NET examples).

  6. Monad (functional programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_(functional_programming)

    The more common definition for a monad in functional programming, used in the above example, is actually based on a Kleisli triple T, η, μ rather than category theory's standard definition. The two constructs turn out to be mathematically equivalent, however, so either definition will yield a valid monad.

  7. Logic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_programming

    However, nested syntax can be regarded as syntactic sugar for unnested syntax. Ciao Prolog, for example, transforms functional syntax into relational form and executes the resulting logic program using the standard Prolog execution strategy. [29] Moreover, the same transformation can be used to execute nested relations that are not functional.

  8. Method chaining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_chaining

    Method chaining is a common syntax for invoking multiple method calls in object-oriented programming languages. Each method returns an object, allowing the calls to be chained together in a single statement without requiring variables to store the intermediate results.

  9. this (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In the programming language Dylan, which is an object-oriented language that supports multimethods and doesn't have a concept of this, sending a message to an object is still kept in the syntax. The two forms below work in the same way; the differences are just syntactic sugar. object.method(param1, param2) and method (object, param1, param2)
