  2. Boxing (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_(computer_programming)

    However, the compiler automatically transforms the code so that the list will "silently" receive objects, while the source code only mentions primitive values. For example, the programmer can now write list. add (3) and think as if the int 3 were added to the list; but, the compiler will have actually transformed the line into list. add (new ...

  3. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

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

    The arrays are heterogeneous: a single array can have keys of different types. PHP's associative arrays can be used to represent trees, lists, stacks, queues, and other common data structures not built into PHP. An associative array can be declared using the following syntax:

  4. Covariance and contravariance (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contra...

    Mutable data types which act as both sources and sinks should be invariant. To illustrate this general phenomenon, consider the array type. For the type Animal we can make the type Animal [], which is an "array of animals". For the purposes of this example, this array supports both reading and writing elements.

  5. Dynamic array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_array

    In computer science, a dynamic array, growable array, resizable array, dynamic table, mutable array, or array list is a random access, variable-size list data structure that allows elements to be added or removed. It is supplied with standard libraries in many modern mainstream programming languages.

  6. Kotlin (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotlin_(programming_language)

    When Kotlin was announced as an official Android development language at Google I/O in May 2017, it became the third language fully supported for Android, after Java and C++. [47] As of 2020, Kotlin is the most widely used language on Android, with Google estimating that 70% of the top 1,000 apps on the Play Store are written in Kotlin. Google ...

  7. Primitive data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_data_type

    Integer addition, for example, can be performed as a single machine instruction, and some offer specific instructions to process sequences of characters with a single instruction. [7] But the choice of primitive data type may affect performance, for example it is faster using SIMD operations and data types to operate on an array of floats.

  8. Lisp (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language)

    A Lisp list is written with its elements separated by whitespace, and surrounded by parentheses. For example, (1 2 foo) is a list whose elements are the three atoms 1, 2, and foo. These values are implicitly typed: they are respectively two integers and a Lisp-specific data type called a "symbol", and do not have to be declared as such.

    list: mutable List, can contain mixed types [4.0, 'string', True] [] types.NoneType: immutable An object representing the absence of a value, often called null in other languages None: types.NotImplementedType: immutable A placeholder that can be returned from overloaded operators to indicate unsupported operand types.
