  2. Stack Overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_Overflow

    Top Stack Overflow tags. A 2013 study has found that 75% of users only ask one question, 65% only answer one question, and only 8% of users answer more than 5 questions. [34] To empower a wider group of users to ask questions and then answer, Stack Overflow created a mentorship program resulting in users having a 50% increase in score on ...

  3. Stack (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(abstract_data_type)

    Several algorithms use a stack (separate from the usual function call stack of most programming languages) as the principal data structure with which they organize their information. These include: Graham scan, an algorithm for the convex hull of a two-dimensional system of points. A convex hull of a subset of the input is maintained in a stack ...

  4. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    Most modern implementations of a function call use a call stack, a special case of the stack data structure, to implement function calls and returns. Each procedure call creates a new entry, called a stack frame , at the top of the stack; when the procedure returns, its stack frame is deleted from the stack, and its space may be used for other ...

  5. Stack overflow (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_overflow...

    Stack overflow may also refer to: Stack buffer overflow , when a program writes to a memory address on the program's call stack outside of the intended data structure; usually a fixed length buffer Stack Overflow , a question-and-answer website on the topic of computer programming

  6. Call stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack

    The more general act of popping one or more frames off the stack to resume execution elsewhere in the program is called stack unwinding and must be performed when non-local control structures are used, such as those used for exception handling. In this case, the stack frame of a function contains one or more entries specifying exception handlers.

  7. List of abstractions (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_abstractions...

    Avoids stack overflow in recursive functions, making them as memory-efficient as iterations. Currying: The process of transforming a function that takes multiple arguments into a sequence of functions each with a single argument. Simplifies the creation of specialized functions from more general ones and enhances function composition. Lazy ...

  8. Stack-oriented programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack-oriented_programming

    To emphasize the effect of a statement, a comment is often used showing the top of the stack before and after the statement; this is known as the stack effect diagram. Some stack-oriented languages may use multiple stacks for different purposes; for example, PostScript uses separate stacks for variables, dictionaries, procedures, some typical ...

  9. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    C, Java, and Python are notable mainstream languages in which all function calls, including tail calls, may cause stack allocation that would not occur with the use of looping constructs; in these languages, a working iterative program rewritten in recursive form may overflow the call stack, although tail call elimination may be a feature that ...
