  2. Syntactic sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar

    Syntactic sugar is usually a shorthand for a common operation that could also be expressed in an alternate, more verbose, form: The programmer has a choice of whether to use the shorter form or the longer form, but will usually use the shorter form since it is shorter and easier to type and read. For example, many programming languages provide ...

  3. Comparison of programming languages (list comprehension)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    List comprehension is a syntactic construct available in some programming languages for creating a list based on existing lists. It follows the form of the mathematical set-builder notation (set comprehension) as distinct from the use of map and filter functions.

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. 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)

  8. Definite clause grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definite_clause_grammar

    DCGs can serve as a convenient syntactic sugar to hide certain parameters in code in other places besides parsing applications. In the declaratively pure programming language Mercury I/O must be represented by a pair of io.state arguments.

    The tag name can be any sequence of alphanumeric characters that may be used to indicate how the enclosed block is to be deciphered. For example, #<latex> could indicate the start of a block of LaTeX formatted documentation. Scheme and Racket. The next complete syntactic component (s-expression) can be commented out with #;. ABAP
