Type systemIn computer programming, a type system is a logical system comprising a set of rules that assigns a property called a type (for example, integer, floating point, string) to every "term" (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols). Usually the terms are various constructs of a computer program, such as variables, expressions, functions, or modules. A type system dictates the operations that can be performed on a term. For variables, the type system determines the allowed values of that term.
Modula-3Modula-3 is a programming language conceived as a successor to an upgraded version of Modula-2 known as Modula-2+. While it has been influential in research circles (influencing the designs of languages such as Java, C#, Python and Nim) it has not been adopted widely in industry. It was designed by Luca Cardelli, James Donahue, Lucille Glassman, Mick Jordan (before at the Olivetti Software Technology Laboratory), Bill Kalsow and Greg Nelson at the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Systems Research Center (SRC) and the Olivetti Research Center (ORC) in the late 1980s.
Langage de programmationthumb|Fragment de code écrit dans le langage de programmation JavaScript. Un langage de programmation est un langage informatique destiné à formuler des algorithmes et produire des programmes informatiques qui les appliquent. D'une manière similaire à une langue naturelle, un langage de programmation est composé d'un alphabet, d'un vocabulaire, de règles de grammaire, de significations, mais aussi d'un environnement de traduction censé rendre sa syntaxe compréhensible par la machine.
