  2. Syntactic sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar

    In computer science, syntactic sugar is syntax within a programming language that is designed to make things easier to read or to express. It makes the language "sweeter" for human use: things can be expressed more clearly, more concisely, or in an alternative style that some may prefer.

  3. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Operator overloading is syntactic sugar, and is used because it allows programming using notation nearer to the target domain [1] and allows user-defined types a similar level of syntactic support as types built into a language. It is common, for example, in scientific computing, where it allows computing representations of mathematical objects ...

  4. SKI combinator calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKI_combinator_calculus

    The other primitive instructions in Nock (instructions 0,3,4,5, and the pseudo-instruction "implicit cons") are not necessary for universal computation, but make programming more convenient by providing facilities for dealing with binary tree data structures and arithmetic; Nock also provides 5 more instructions (6,7,8,9,10) that could have ...

  5. Comparison of programming languages (list comprehension)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    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.

  6. Lambda calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus

    Authors often introduce syntactic sugar, such as let, [k] to permit writing the above in the more intuitive order let f = N in M. By chaining such definitions, one can write a lambda calculus "program" as zero or more function definitions, followed by one lambda-term using those functions that constitutes the main body of the program.

  7. HyperTalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperTalk

    Many examples of this sort of syntactic sugar were found in HyperTalk, in order to simplify the syntax and improve readability of common code. In HyperCard 2.2 and later, the collection of collections was also available as a container's parts. This allowed a script to address all of the objects in a container with a single iterator.

    BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders says he'll play in his team's bowl game, while his dad says he's planning on CU's Heisman favorite, Travis Hunter, being there, too.

  9. Peter Landin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Landin

    Landin is responsible for inventing the stack, environment, control, dump SECD machine, the first abstract machine for a functional programming language, [12] and the ISWIM programming language, defining the Landin off-side rule and for coining the term syntactic sugar.
