  2. BETA (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BETA_(programming_language)

    BETA is a pure object-oriented language originating within the "Scandinavian School" in object-orientation where the first object-oriented language Simula was developed. [1] Among its notable features, it introduced nested classes , and unified classes with procedures into so called patterns.

  3. Hat notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_notation

    In statistics, a circumflex (ˆ), called a "hat", is used to denote an estimator or an estimated value. [1] For example, in the context of errors and residuals , the "hat" over the letter ε ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {\varepsilon }}} indicates an observable estimate (the residuals) of an unobservable quantity called ε {\displaystyle \varepsilon ...

    People would turn to him to solve their problems, and he was referred to as "that guy in the red hat". He lost the cap and had to search for it desperately. The manual of the beta version of Red Hat Linux had an appeal to readers to return the hat if found by anyone. RSA – an asymmetric algorithm for public key cryptography.

  5. Literal (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, a literal is a textual representation (notation) of a value as it is written in source code. [1] [2] Almost all programming languages have notations for atomic values such as integers, floating-point numbers, and strings, and usually for Booleans and characters; some also have notations for elements of enumerated types and compound values such as arrays, records, and objects.

  6. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    In programming language theory, lazy evaluation, or call-by-need, [1] is an evaluation strategy which delays the evaluation of an expression until its value is needed (non-strict evaluation) and which avoids repeated evaluations (by the use of sharing).

  7. Polymorphism (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_(computer...

    In programming language theory and type theory, polymorphism is the use of one symbol to represent multiple different types. [1] In object-oriented programming, polymorphism is the provision of one interface to entities of different data types. [2]

  8. Multiply–accumulate operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply–accumulate...

    Modern computers may contain a dedicated MAC, consisting of a multiplier implemented in combinational logic followed by an adder and an accumulator register that stores the result. The output of the register is fed back to one input of the adder, so that on each clock cycle, the output of the multiplier is added to the register.

  9. Metaprogramming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaprogramming

    Metaprogramming is a computer programming technique in which computer programs have the ability to treat other programs as their data.It means that a program can be designed to read, generate, analyse, or transform other programs, and even modify itself, while running.
