  2. Anonymous recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_recursion

    The usual alternative is to use named functions and named recursion. Given an anonymous function, this can be done either by binding a name to the function, as in named function expressions in JavaScript, or by assigning the function to a variable and then calling the variable, as in function statements in JavaScript.

  3. First-class function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_function

    In computer science, a programming language is said to have first-class functions if it treats functions as first-class citizens.This means the language supports passing functions as arguments to other functions, returning them as the values from other functions, and assigning them to variables or storing them in data structures. [1]

  4. Store-passing style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Store-passing_style

    Store-passing style is a programming technique that is used to model mutable state without using mutable state. [1] [2] It generally arises in the conversion of imperative programs into purely functional ones. So, for instance, consider this JavaScript program, written in a non-store-passing-style:

  5. Method chaining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_chaining

    Method chaining eliminates an extra variable for each intermediate step. The developer is saved from the cognitive burden of naming the variable and keeping the variable in mind. Method chaining has been referred to as producing a "train wreck" due to the increase in the number of methods that come one after another in the same line that occurs ...

  6. Message passing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing

    In computer science, message passing is a technique for invoking behavior (i.e., running a program) on a computer. The invoking program sends a message to a process (which may be an actor or object ) and relies on that process and its supporting infrastructure to then select and run some appropriate code.

  7. Callback (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Many dynamic languages, such as JavaScript, Lua, Python, Perl [1] [2] and PHP, allow a function object to be passed. CLI languages such as C# and VB.NET provide a type-safe encapsulating function reference known as delegate. Events and event handlers, as used in .NET languages, provide for callbacks.

  8. Parameter (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    The specification for pass-by-reference or pass-by-value would be made in the function declaration and/or definition. Parameters appear in procedure definitions; arguments appear in procedure calls. In the function definition f(x) = x*x the variable x is a parameter; in the function call f(2) the value 2 is the argument of the function. Loosely ...

  9. PHP syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_syntax_and_semantics

    Unlike function and class names, variable names are case-sensitive. Both double-quoted ("") and heredoc strings allow the ability to embed a variable's value into the string. [13] As in C, variables may be cast to a specific type by prefixing the type in parentheses. PHP treats newlines as whitespace, in the manner of a free-form language.
