  2. Decorator pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern

    Subclass the original Component class into a Decorator class (see UML diagram); In the Decorator class, add a Component pointer as a field; In the Decorator class, pass a Component to the Decorator constructor to initialize the Component pointer; In the Decorator class, forward all Component methods to the Component pointer; and

  3. Lazy initialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_initialization

    In computer programming, lazy initialization is the tactic of delaying the creation of an object, the calculation of a value, or some other expensive process until the first time it is needed.

  4. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A decorator is any callable Python object that is used to modify a function, method or class definition. A decorator is passed the original object being defined and returns a modified object, which is then bound to the name in the definition. Python decorators were inspired in part by Java annotations, and have a similar syntax; the decorator ...

  5. Initialization (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_(programming)

    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.

  6. this (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    this, self, and Me are keywords used in some computer programming languages to refer to the object, class, or other entity which the currently running code is a part of. The entity referred to thus depends on the execution context (such as which object has its method called).

  7. Singleton pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_pattern

    A singleton implementation may use lazy initialization in which the instance is created when the static method is first invoked. In multithreaded programs, this can cause race conditions that result in the creation of multiple instances. The following Java 5+ example [6] is a thread-safe implementation, using lazy initialization with double ...

  8. Syntactic sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar

    Similarly an array element update is a procedure consisting of three arguments, for example set_array(Array, vector(i,j), value), but many languages also provide syntax such as Array[i,j] = value. A construct in a language is syntactic sugar if it can be removed from the language without any effect on what the language can do: functionality and ...

  9. Constructor (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_(object...

    In class-based, object-oriented programming, a constructor (abbreviation: ctor) is a special type of function called to create an object.It prepares the new object for use, often accepting arguments that the constructor uses to set required member variables.
