In computer programming, duplicate code is a sequence of source code that occurs more than once, either within a program or across different programs owned or maintained by the same entity. Duplicate code is generally considered undesirable for a number of reasons. [ 1 ]
Copy-on-write (COW), also called implicit sharing [1] or shadowing, [2] is a resource-management technique [3] used in programming to manage shared data efficiently. Instead of copying data right away when multiple programs use it, the same data is shared between programs until one tries to modify it.

Apache C++ Standard Library (The starting point for this library was the 2005 version of the Rogue Wave standard library [15]) Libstdc++ uses code derived from SGI STL for the algorithms and containers defined in C++03. Dinkum STL library by P.J. Plauger; The Microsoft STL which ships with Visual C++ is a licensed derivative of Dinkum's STL.
For example, if one has a List reference in Java, one cannot invoke clone() on that reference because List specifies no public clone() method. Actual implementations of List like ArrayList and LinkedList all generally have clone() methods themselves, but it is inconvenient and bad abstraction to carry around the actual class type of an object.
"Don't repeat yourself" (DRY), also known as "duplication is evil", is a principle of software development aimed at reducing repetition of information which is likely to change, replacing it with abstractions that are less likely to change, or using data normalization which avoids redundancy in the first place.
If two attributes participate in ordering, it is sufficient to name only the major attribute. In the case of arrays, the attributes are the indices along each dimension. For matrices in mathematical notation, the first index indicates the row , and the second indicates the column , e.g., given a matrix A {\displaystyle A} , the entry a 1 , 2 ...
In array languages, operations are generalized to apply to both scalars and arrays. Thus, a+b expresses the sum of two scalars if a and b are scalars, or the sum of two arrays if they are arrays. An array language simplifies programming but possibly at a cost known as the abstraction penalty.
