For example, some FORTRAN dialects have an AT statement, which was originally intended to act as an instruction breakpoint. Python implements a debugger accessible from a Python program. [6] These facilities can be and are [7] abused to act like the COMEFROM statement.
C# 6.0 and above have ?., the null-conditional member access operator (which is also called the Elvis operator by Microsoft and is not to be confused with the general usage of the term Elvis operator, whose equivalent in C# is ??, the null coalescing operator) and ?[], the null-conditional element access operator, which performs a null-safe call of an indexer get accessor.
In the following Python code, function calculate accepts a parameter operate that is used as a blocking callback. calculate is called with square which acts as a callback function. def square ( val ): return val ** 2 def calculate ( operate , val ): return operate ( val ) # outputs: 25 calculate ( square , 5 )
In fixed format code, line indentation is significant. Columns 1–6 and columns from 73 onwards are ignored. If a * or / is in column 7, then that line is a comment. Until COBOL 2002, if a D or d was in column 7, it would define a "debugging line" which would be ignored unless the compiler was instructed to compile it. Cobra
Yr = A 2.x + K 2 for x > BP (breakpoint) where: Yr is the expected (predicted) value of y for a certain value of x; A 1 and A 2 are regression coefficients (indicating the slope of the line segments); K 1 and K 2 are regression constants (indicating the intercept at the y-axis). The data may show many types or trends, [2] see the figures.
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:
For example, the pyramid of doom is commonly seen when checking for null pointers or handling callbacks. [1] Two examples of the term are related to a particular programming style in early versions of JavaScript, [2] and the nesting of if statements that occurs in object-oriented programming languages when one of the objects may be a null ...
Events can be implemented through various mechanisms such as callbacks, message objects, signals, or interrupts, and events themselves are distinct from the implementation mechanisms used. Event propagation models, such as bubbling, capturing, and pub/sub, define how events are distributed and handled within a system.
