  2. Return statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_statement

    If a function has the return type void, the return statement can be used without a value, in which case the program just breaks out of the current function and returns to the calling one. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Similar syntax is used in other languages including Modula-2 [ 3 ] and Python .

  3. Pure function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function

    In computer programming, a pure function is a function that has the following properties: [1] [2]. the function return values are identical for identical arguments (no variation with local static variables, non-local variables, mutable reference arguments or input streams, i.e., referential transparency), and

  4. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Introduced in Python 2.2 as an optional feature and finalized in version 2.3, generators are Python's mechanism for lazy evaluation of a function that would otherwise return a space-prohibitive or computationally intensive list. This is an example to lazily generate the prime numbers:

  5. Assignment (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_(computer_science)

    In a statement such as while ((ch = getchar ())!= EOF) {…}, the return value of a function is used to control a loop while assigning that same value to a variable. In other programming languages, Scheme for example, the return value of an assignment is undefined and such idioms are invalid.

  6. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, in the expression (f(x)-1)/(f(x)+1), the function f cannot be called only once with its value used two times since the two calls may return different results. Moreover, in the few languages which define the order of evaluation of the division operator's operands, the value of x must be fetched again before the second call, since ...

  7. 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]

  8. Higher-order function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_function

    In mathematics and computer science, a higher-order function (HOF) is a function that does at least one of the following: takes one or more functions as arguments (i.e. a procedural parameter, which is a parameter of a procedure that is itself a procedure), returns a function or value as its result. All other functions are first-order functions.

  9. Foreach loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreach_loop

    In computer programming, foreach loop (or for-each loop) is a control flow statement for traversing items in a collection. foreach is usually used in place of a standard for loop statement.
