  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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call-with-current-continuation

    As a complementary example, in an expression (e1 (call/cc f)), the continuation for the sub-expression (call/cc f) is (lambda (c) (e1 c)), so the whole expression is equivalent to (f (lambda (c) (e1 c))). In other words it takes a "snapshot" of the current control context or control state of the program as an object and applies f to it.

  4. Burst error-correcting code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burst_error-correcting_code

    Proof. We need to prove that if you add a burst of length to a codeword (i.e. to a polynomial that is divisible by ()), then the result is not going to be a codeword (i.e. the corresponding polynomial is not divisible by ()).

  5. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  6. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    This is not the desired behavior, as (b) or (c) may have side effects, take a long time to compute, or throw errors. It is usually possible to introduce user-defined lazy control structures in eager languages as functions, though they may depart from the language's syntax for eager evaluation: Often the involved code bodies need to be wrapped ...

  7. Callback (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Using the same storage allows different languages to directly share callbacks without a design-time or runtime interoperability layer. For example, the Windows API is accessible via multiple languages, compilers and assemblers. C++ also allows objects to provide an implementation of the function call operation.

  8. Closure (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Both Proc.new and lambda in this example are ways to create a closure, but semantics of the closures thus created are different with respect to the return statement. In Scheme, definition and scope of the return control statement is explicit (and only arbitrarily named 'return' for the sake of the example). The following is a direct translation ...

  9. Fixed-point combinator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator

    That is, two functions are equal if they perform the same mapping. Lambda calculus and programming languages regard function identity as an intensional property. A function's identity is based on its implementation. A lambda calculus function (or term) is an implementation of a mathematical function.
