Expressions in Icon may return a single value, for instance, 5 > x will evaluate and return x if the value of x is less than 5, otherwise it will fail and return no value. Icon also includes the concept of procedures that do not immediately return success or failure, and instead return new values every time they are called.
In computer programming, initialization or initialisation is the assignment of an initial value for a data object or variable. The manner in which initialization is performed depends on the programming language, as well as the type, storage class, etc., of an object to be initialized.
compare two doubles, -1 on NaN dconst_0 0e 0000 1110 → 0.0 push the constant 0.0 (a double) onto the stack dconst_1 0f 0000 1111 → 1.0 push the constant 1.0 (a double) onto the stack ddiv 6f 0110 1111 value1, value2 → result divide two doubles dload 18 0001 1000 1: index → value load a double value from a local variable #index: dload_0 26
In the Java virtual machine, internal type signatures are used to identify methods and classes at the level of the virtual machine code.. Example: The method String String. substring (int, int) is represented in bytecode as Ljava / lang / String. substring (II) Ljava / lang / String;.
In computer programming, homoiconicity (from the Greek words homo-meaning "the same" and icon meaning "representation") is an informal property of some programming languages. A language is homoiconic if a program written in it can be manipulated as data using the language. [ 1 ]
When run as a graphical IDE, the Unicon program ui.exe continues to offer links to Icon help. The official Unicon programming book in PDF format [5] is a popular way to learn Unicon. The book includes an introduction to object-oriented development as well as UML. It includes useful chapters on topics such as the use of Unicon for CGI.
That is, a statement such as x = expression; (i.e. the assignment of the result of an expression to a variable) clearly calls for the expression to be evaluated and the result placed in x, but what actually is in x is irrelevant until there is a need for its value via a reference to x in some later expression whose evaluation could itself be ...
