  2. Anonymous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function

    In computer programming, an anonymous function (function literal, expression or block) is a function definition that is not bound to an identifier.Anonymous functions are often arguments being passed to higher-order functions or used for constructing the result of a higher-order function that needs to return a function. [1]

  3. Closure (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    The term closure is often used as a synonym for anonymous function, though strictly, an anonymous function is a function literal without a name, while a closure is an instance of a function, a value, whose non-local variables have been bound either to values or to storage locations (depending on the language; see the lexical environment section below).

  4. Delta encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_encoding

    A delta can be defined in 2 ways, symmetric delta and directed delta.A symmetric delta can be expressed as (,) = (),where and represent two versions.. A directed delta, also called a change, is a sequence of (elementary) change operations which, when applied to one version , yields another version (note the correspondence to transaction logs in databases).

    [16] [17] And with certain programs the number of steps may be much smaller, for example a specific family of lambda terms using Church numerals take an infinite amount of steps with call-by-value (i.e. never complete), an exponential number of steps with call-by-name, but only a polynomial number with call-by-need.

  6. Lambda expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_expression

    Lambda expression may refer to: Lambda expression in computer programming, also called an anonymous function , is a defined function not bound to an identifier. Lambda expression in lambda calculus , a formal system in mathematical logic and computer science for expressing computation by way of variable binding and substitution.

  7. Change data capture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_data_capture

    A current version is maintained for the table, or possibly a group of tables. This is stored in a supporting construct such as a reference table. When a change capture occurs, all data with the latest version number is considered to have changed. Once the change capture is complete, the reference table is updated with a new version number.

  8. Unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier

    A unique identifier (UID) is an identifier that is guaranteed to be unique among all identifiers used for those objects and for a specific purpose. [1] The concept was formalized early in the development of computer science and information systems .

    Low Copy Number (LCN) is a DNA profiling technique developed by the UK Forensic Science Service (FSS) which has been in use since 1999. [ 1 ] In the United Kingdom use of the technique was suspended between 21 December 2007 and 14 January 2008 while the Crown Prosecution Service conducted a review into its use – this suspension has now been ...
