    For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string.

  3. List (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_(abstract_data_type)

    In Lisp, lists are the fundamental data type and can represent both program code and data. In most dialects, the list of the first three prime numbers could be written as (list 2 3 5) . In several dialects of Lisp, including Scheme , a list is a collection of pairs, consisting of a value and a pointer to the next pair (or null value), making a ...

  4. Dynamic array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_array

    The dynamic array has performance similar to an array, with the addition of new operations to add and remove elements: Getting or setting the value at a particular index (constant time) Iterating over the elements in order (linear time, good cache performance) Inserting or deleting an element in the middle of the array (linear time)

  5. Generator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, a generator is a routine that can be used to control the iteration behaviour of a loop.All generators are also iterators. [1] A generator is very similar to a function that returns an array, in that a generator has parameters, can be called, and generates a sequence of values.

  6. Higher-order function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_function

    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. In mathematics higher-order functions are also termed operators or functionals.

    Property methods may take parameters; Properties can be passed to methods with ByRef parameters (ref parameters in C#). In C# you have to write three additional instructions: Declare a variable, copy the property value into the variable and copy the variable back to the property after the method call. Enums can be defined inside interfaces

  9. First-class function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_function

    The identifier of a regular "function" in Ruby (which is really a method) cannot be used as a value or passed. It must first be retrieved into a Method or Proc object to be used as first-class data. The syntax for calling such a function object differs from calling regular methods.
