  2. Increment and decrement operators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Increment_and_decrement...

    The post-increment and post-decrement operators increase (or decrease) the value of their operand by 1, but the value of the expression is the operand's value prior to the increment (or decrement) operation. In languages where increment/decrement is not an expression (e.g., Go), only one version is needed (in the case of Go, post operators only).

  3. Psychology of programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology_of_programming

    The psychology of programming (PoP) is the field of research that deals with the psychological aspects of writing programs (often computer programs). The field has also been called the empirical studies of programming (ESP). It covers research into computer programmers' cognition, tools and methods for programming-related activities, and ...

  4. Operator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Operator_(computer_programming)

    In computer programming, operators are constructs defined within programming languages which behave generally like functions, but which differ syntactically or semantically. Common simple examples include arithmetic (e.g. addition with +), comparison (e.g. "greater than" with >), and logical operations (e.g. AND, also written && in some languages).

  5. CAR and CDR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAR_and_CDR

    Lisp was originally implemented on the IBM 704 computer, in the late 1950s.. The popular explanation that CAR and CDR stand for "Contents of the Address Register" and "Contents of the Decrement Register" [1] does not quite match the IBM 704 architecture; the IBM 704 does not have a programmer-accessible address register and the three address modification registers are called "index registers ...

  6. While loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/While_loop

    first checks whether x is less than 5, which it is, so then the {loop body} is entered, where the printf function is run and x is incremented by 1. After completing all the statements in the loop body, the condition, (x < 5), is checked again, and the loop is executed again, this process repeating until the variable x has the value 5.

  8. Computer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

    Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages.

  9. Vigilance (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigilance_(psychology)

    Vigilance decrement is defined as "deterioration in the ability to remain vigilant for critical signals with time, as indicated by a decline in the rate of the correct detection of signals". [4] Vigilance decrement is most commonly associated with monitoring to detect a weak target signal.
