  2. 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 ...

  3. Partial application - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_application

    In Raku, the assuming method creates a new function with fewer parameters. [4] The Python standard library module functools includes the partial function, allowing positional and named argument bindings, returning a new function. [5] In XQuery, an argument placeholder (?) is used for each non-fixed argument in a partial function application. [6]

  4. Return statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_statement

    In C and C++, return exp; (where exp is an expression) is a statement that tells a function to return execution of the program to the calling function, and report the value of exp. 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 ...

  5. Return type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_type

    In computer programming, the return type (or result type) defines and constrains the data type of the value returned from a subroutine or method. [1] In many programming languages (especially statically-typed programming languages such as C, C++, Java) the return type must be explicitly specified when declaring a function. In the Java example:

  6. Generator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In Python, a generator can be thought of as an iterator that contains a frozen stack frame. Whenever next() is called on the iterator, Python resumes the frozen frame, which executes normally until the next yield statement is reached. The generator's frame is then frozen again, and the yielded value is returned to the caller.

  7. ReactiveX - Wikipedia

    The map operator will then multiply each number by two and return an observable. The reduce operator will then sum up all the numbers provided to it (the value of 0 is the starting point). Calling subscribe will register an observer that will observe the values from the observable produced by the chain of operators. With the subscribe method ...

  8. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    The return statement, used to return a value from a function The import and from statements, used to import modules whose functions or variables can be used in the current program The match and case statements, an analog of the switch statement construct, that compares an expression against one or more cases as a control-of-flow measure.

  9. Evaluation strategy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_strategy

    In a programming language, an evaluation strategy is a set of rules for evaluating expressions. [1] The term is often used to refer to the more specific notion of a parameter-passing strategy [2] that defines the kind of value that is passed to the function for each parameter (the binding strategy) [3] and whether to evaluate the parameters of a function call, and if so in what order (the ...
