  2. Factory (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_(object-oriented...

    In class-based programming, a factory is an abstraction of a constructor of a class, while in prototype-based programming a factory is an abstraction of a prototype object. A constructor is concrete in that it creates objects as instances of one class, and by a specified process (class instantiation), while a factory can create objects by instantiating various classes, or by using other ...

  3. Thompson's construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson's_construction

    The Kleene star expression s * is converted to An ε-transition connects initial and final state of the NFA with the sub-NFA N ( s ) in between. Another ε-transition from the inner final to the inner initial state of N ( s ) allows for repetition of expression s according to the star operator.

  4. Java (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile. [17]

  5. Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming

    For example, a simple linearized object would consist of a length field, a code point identifying the class, and a data value. A more complex example would be a command consisting of the length and code point of the command and values consisting of linearized objects representing the command's parameters.

  6. GRASP (object-oriented design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRASP_(object-oriented_design)

    The indirection pattern supports low coupling and reuses potential between two elements by assigning the responsibility of mediation between them to an intermediate object. An example of this is the introduction of a controller component for mediation between data (model) and its representation (view) in the model-view-controller pattern.

  7. Wildcard (Java) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_(Java)

    In the Java programming language, the wildcard? is a special kind of type argument [1] that controls the type safety of the use of generic (parameterized) types. [2] It can be used in variable declarations and instantiations as well as in method definitions, but not in the definition of a generic type.

  8. Star schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_schema

    The star schema is an important special case of the snowflake schema, and is more effective for handling simpler queries. [2] The star schema gets its name from the physical model's [3] resemblance to a star shape with a fact table at its center and the dimension tables surrounding it representing the star's points.

  9. Message passing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing

    In computer science, message passing is a technique for invoking behavior (i.e., running a program) on a computer.The invoking program sends a message to a process (which may be an actor or object) and relies on that process and its supporting infrastructure to then select and run some appropriate code.
