  2. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    In computer science, control flow (or flow of control) is the order in which individual statements, instructions or function calls of an imperative program are executed or evaluated. The emphasis on explicit control flow distinguishes an imperative programming language from a declarative programming language.

  3. Control-flow analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-flow_analysis

    In computer science, control-flow analysis (CFA) is a static-code-analysis technique for determining the control flow of a program. The control flow is expressed as a control-flow graph (CFG). For both functional programming languages and object-oriented programming languages , the term CFA, and elaborations such as k -CFA, refer to specific ...

  4. Structured programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_programming

    Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed at improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making specific disciplined use of the structured control flow constructs of selection (if/then/else) and repetition (while and for), block structures, and subroutines.

  5. Dataflow programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_programming

    Traditionally, a program is modelled as a series of operations happening in a specific order; this may be referred to as sequential, [2]: p.3 procedural, [3] control flow [3] (indicating that the program chooses a specific path), or imperative programming.

  6. Control-flow graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-flow_graph

    In computer science, a control-flow graph (CFG) is a representation, using graph notation, of all paths that might be traversed through a program during its execution. The control-flow graph was discovered by Frances E. Allen , [ 1 ] who noted that Reese T. Prosser used boolean connectivity matrices for flow analysis before.

  7. Data-flow analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-flow_analysis

    The examples above are problems in which the data-flow value is a set, e.g. the set of reaching definitions (Using a bit for a definition position in the program), or the set of live variables. These sets can be represented efficiently as bit vectors , in which each bit represents set membership of one particular element.

  8. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    The ability to define control flow (structures) as abstractions instead of primitives. The ability to define potentially infinite data structures. This allows for more straightforward implementation of some algorithms. The ability to define partly-defined data structures where some elements are errors. This allows for rapid prototyping.

  9. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    In computer programming, a loop counter is a control variable that controls the iterations of a loop (a computer programming language construct). It is so named because most uses of this construct result in the variable taking on a range of integer values in some orderly sequences (for example., starting at 0 and ending at 10 in increments of 1)
