    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

    In software engineering, rubber duck debugging (or rubberducking) is a method of debugging code by articulating a problem in spoken or written natural language. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it ...

    The device is valid C by virtue of two attributes in C: Relaxed specification of the switch statement in the language's definition. At the time of the device's invention this was the first edition of The C Programming Language which requires only that the body of the switch be a syntactically valid (compound) statement within which case labels ...

    Data is transferred from the programmer to the device as signals via connecting pins. Some devices have a serial interface [9]: 232, pdf3 for receiving data (including JTAG interface). [4]: 642, pdf15 Other devices communicate on parallel pins, followed by a programming pulse with a higher voltage for programming the data into the device.

    Thus, an abstract machine for a programming language is any collection of data structures and algorithms capable of storing and running programs written in the programming language. It bridges the gap between the high level of a programming language and the low level of an actual machine by providing an intermediate language step for ...
