  2. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    For a simple type like a number these conventions are relatively clear. Passing ByRef allows the procedure to modify the passed variable whereas passing ByVal does not. For an object, semantics can confuse programmers since an object is always treated as a reference. Passing an object ByVal copies the reference; not the state of the object. The ...

  3. Command-line argument parsing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_argument_parsing

    Node.js programs are invoked by running the interpreter node interpreter with a given file, so the first two arguments will be node and the name of the JavaScript source file. It is often useful to extract the rest of the arguments by slicing a sub-array from process.argv. [11]

  4. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Pointers are used to pass parameters by reference. This is useful if the programmer wants a function's modifications to a parameter to be visible to the function's caller. This is also useful for returning multiple values from a function. Pointers can also be used to allocate and deallocate dynamic variables and arrays in memory. Since a ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Evaluation strategy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_strategy

    In a programming language, an evaluation strategy is a set of rules for evaluating expressions. [1] The term is often used to refer to the more specific notion of a parameter-passing strategy [2] that defines the kind of value that is passed to the function for each parameter (the binding strategy) [3] and whether to evaluate the parameters of a function call, and if so in what order (the ...

  7. exec (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exec_(system_call)

    p – Uses the PATH environment variable to find the file named in the file argument to be executed. v – Command-line arguments are passed to the function as an array (vector) of pointers. path. The argument specifies the path name of the file to execute as the new process image.

  8. File URI scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme

    A valid file URI must therefore begin with either file:/path (no hostname), file:///path (empty hostname), or file://hostname/path. file://path (i.e. two slashes, without a hostname) is never correct, but is often used. Further slashes in path separate directory names in a hierarchical system of directories and subdirectories. In this usage ...

  9. Exception handling syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling_syntax

    try (FileReader fr = new FileReader (path); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (fr)) {// Normal execution path.} catch (IOException ioe) {// Deal with exception.} // Resources in the try statement are automatically closed afterwards. finally {// A finally clause can be included, and will run after the resources in the try statements are ...
