  2. alias (command) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_(command)

    This was useful for creating simple shortcut commands, but not more complex constructs. Older versions of the Bourne shell did not offer aliases, but it did provide functions, which are more powerful than the csh alias concept. The alias concept from csh was imported into Bourne Again Shell (bash) and the Korn shell (ksh). With shells that ...

  4. Aliasing (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing_(computing)

    Aliasing can occur in any language that can refer to one location in memory with more than one name (for example, with pointers).This is a common problem with functions that accept pointer arguments, and their tolerance (or the lack thereof) for aliasing must be carefully documented, particularly for functions that perform complex manipulations on memory areas passed to them.

    In computing, the alias method is a family of efficient algorithms for sampling from a discrete probability distribution, published in 1974 by Alastair J. Walker. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] That is, it returns integer values 1 ≤ i ≤ n according to some arbitrary discrete probability distribution p i .

  7. Forth (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    The basic data structure of Forth is the "dictionary" which maps "words" to executable code or named data structures. The dictionary is laid out in memory as a tree of linked lists with the links proceeding from the latest (most recently) defined word to the oldest, until a sentinel value, usually a NULL pointer, is found. A context switch ...
