  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    In Python, non-innermost-local and not-declared-global accessible names are all aliases. Among dynamically-typed languages, Python is moderately type-checked. Implicit conversion is defined for numeric types (as well as booleans), so one may validly multiply a complex number by an integer (for instance) without explicit casting.

  3. Comparison of programming languages (basic instructions)

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

    ^c In Fortran, function/subroutine parameters are called arguments (since PARAMETER is a language keyword); the CALL keyword is required for subroutines. ^d Instead of using "foo" , a string variable may be used instead containing the same value.

  4. Callback (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Also, the delivery need not be made directly to the customer. A callback need not be to the calling function. In fact, a function would generally not pass itself as a callback. Some find the use of back to be misleading since the call is (generally) not back to the original caller as it is for a telephone call.

  5. Read–eval–print loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read–eval–print_loop

    In 1964, the expression READ-EVAL-PRINT cycle is used by L. Peter Deutsch and Edmund Berkeley for an implementation of Lisp on the PDP-1. [3] Just one month later, Project Mac published a report by Joseph Weizenbaum (the creator of ELIZA, the world's first chatbot) describing a REPL-based language, called OPL-1, implemented in his Fortran-SLIP language on the Compatible Time Sharing System (CTSS).

  6. ncurses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses

    Most ncurses calls can be easily ported to the old curses. System V curses implementations can support BSD curses programs with just a recompilation . [ 16 ] However, a few areas are problematic, such as handling terminal resizing, since no counterpart exists in the old curses.

  7. GNU Readline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Readline

    Haskeline is a BSD-3-Clause licensed readline-like library for Haskell. It is mainly written for the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, [16] but is available to other Haskell projects which need line-editing services as well. [17] PSReadLine is a BSD-2-Clause licensed readline implementation written in C# for PowerShell inspired by bash and GNU Readline ...

    try {// Try to read the file "file.txt" Scanner sc = new Scanner (new File ("file.txt")); while (sc. hasNextLine ()) System. out. println (sc. readLine ()); sc. close ...

  9. 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 ...
