  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Some people (including Guido van Rossum himself) have called this parameter-passing scheme "call by object reference". An object reference means a name, and the passed reference is an "alias", i.e. a copy of the reference to the same object, just as in C/C++. The object's value may be changed in the called function with the "alias", for example:

  3. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    A small phone book as a hash table. In computer science, a hash table is a data structure that implements an associative array, also called a dictionary or simply map; an associative array is an abstract data type that maps keys to values. [2]

  4. Key–value database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyvalue_database

    A tabular data card proposed for Babbage's Analytical Engine showing a keyvalue pair, in this instance a number and its base-ten logarithm. A keyvalue database, or keyvalue store, is a data storage paradigm designed for storing, retrieving, and managing associative arrays, and a data structure more commonly known today as a dictionary or hash table.

  5. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    Any existing mapping is overwritten. The arguments to this operation are the key and the value. Remove or delete remove a (,) pair from the collection, unmapping a given key from its value. The argument to this operation is the key. Lookup, find, or get find the value (if any) that is bound to a given key.

  6. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    Python makes a distinction between lists and tuples. Lists are written as [1, 2, 3], are mutable, and cannot be used as the keys of dictionaries (dictionary keys must be immutable in Python). Tuples, written as (1, 2, 3), are immutable and thus can be used as keys of dictionaries, provided all of the tuple's elements are immutable.

  7. Graph database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database

    A graph database (GDB) is a database that uses graph structures for semantic queries with nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data. [1] A key concept of the system is the graph (or edge or relationship).

  8. Name–value pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namevalue_pair

    A namevalue pair, also called an attribute–value pair, keyvalue pair, or field–value pair, is a fundamental data representation in computing systems and applications. Designers often desire an open-ended data structure that allows for future extension without modifying existing code or data.

  9. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    A hash function that maps names to integers from 0 to 15. There is a collision between keys "John Smith" and "Sandra Dee". A hash function is any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary size to fixed-size values, though there are some hash functions that support variable-length output. [1]
