MySQL provides an enumerated type ENUM with allowable values specified as strings when a table is created. The values are stored as numeric indices with the empty string stored as 0, the first string value stored as 1, the second string value stored as 2, etc. Values can be stored and retrieved as numeric indexes or string values. [10] Example:
List comprehension is a syntactic construct available in some programming languages for creating a list based on existing lists. It follows the form of the mathematical set-builder notation ( set comprehension ) as distinct from the use of map and filter functions.
The most frequently used general-purpose implementation of an associative array is with a hash table: an array combined with a hash function that separates each key into a separate "bucket" of the array. The basic idea behind a hash table is that accessing an element of an array via its index is a simple, constant-time operation.
(pred array)/array or pred {⍵ /⍨ ⍺⍺ ⍵} array: The second example is an APL dop. C# 3.0 ienum.Where(pred) or The where clause: Where is an extension method ienum is an IEnumerable Similarly in all .NET languages CFML: obj.filter(func) Where obj is an array or a structure. The func receives as an argument each element's value. Clojure ...
Values of the union type can correspond to either union case. The types of the values carried by each union case is included in the definition of each case. The list type is an immutable linked list represented either using a head:: tail notation (:: is the cons operator) or a shorthand as [item1; item2; item3]. An empty list is written [].
The term is commonly used in mathematics and computer science to refer to a listing of all of the elements of a set. The precise requirements for an enumeration (for example, whether the set must be finite, or whether the list is allowed to contain repetitions) depend on the discipline of study and the context of a given problem.
Prior to the C99 standard, variable-sized arrays were a common example of this. (See the article on C dynamic memory allocation for an example of dynamically allocated arrays.) Unlike automatic allocation, which can fail at run time with uncontrolled consequences, the dynamic allocation functions return an indication (in the form of a null ...
An array data structure can be mathematically modeled as an abstract data structure (an abstract array) with two operations get(A, I): the data stored in the element of the array A whose indices are the integer tuple I. set(A, I, V): the array that results by setting the value of that element to V. These operations are required to satisfy the ...
