Statement (computer science)In computer programming, a statement is a syntactic unit of an imperative programming language that expresses some action to be carried out. A program written in such a language is formed by a sequence of one or more statements. A statement may have internal components (e.g. expressions). Many programming languages (e.g. Ada, Algol 60, C, Java, Pascal) make a distinction between statements and definitions/declarations. A definition or declaration specifies the data on which a program is to operate, while a statement specifies the actions to be taken with that data.
Graphe de flot de contrôleEn informatique, un graphe de flot de contrôle (abrégé en GFC, control flow graph ou CFG en anglais) est une représentation sous forme de graphe de tous les chemins qui peuvent être suivis par un programme durant son exécution. Dans un GFC, les sommets du graphe représentent un bloc de base, c'est-à-dire un bout de code d'un seul tenant sans sauts ni cibles de sauts. Les cibles de sauts marquent le début d'un bloc de base, tandis que les sauts en marquent la fin. Les arcs représentent les sauts dans le flot de contrôle.
Dylan (langage)Dylan est un langage de programmation dynamique, réflexif, orienté objet et fonctionnel. Il propose un modèle de programmation axé vers une génération efficace de code machine. Il a été créé au début des années 1990 par un groupe conduit par Apple pour son PDA, l'Apple Newton.
Erlang (langage)vignette|300px|LYME et LYCE sont basés sur Erlang et offrent des alternatives à LAMP. Erlang est un langage de programmation, supportant plusieurs paradigmes : concurrent, temps réel, distribué. Son cœur séquentiel est un langage fonctionnel à évaluation stricte, affectation unique, au typage dynamique fort. Sa couche concurrente est fondée sur le modèle d'acteur. Il possède des fonctionnalités de tolérance aux pannes et de mise à jour du code à chaud, permettant le développement d'applications à très haute disponibilité.
Event (computing)In programming and software design, an event is an action or occurrence recognized by software, often originating asynchronously from the external environment, that may be handled by the software. Computer events can be generated or triggered by the system, by the user, or in other ways. Typically, events are handled synchronously with the program flow; that is, the software may have one or more dedicated places where events are handled, frequently an event loop.
Mesa (programming language)Mesa is a programming language developed in the late 1970s at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in Palo Alto, California, United States. The language name was a pun based upon the programming language catchphrases of the time, because Mesa is a "high level" programming language. Mesa is an ALGOL-like language with strong support for modular programming. Every library module has at least two source files: a definitions file specifying the library's interface plus one or more program files specifying the implementation of the procedures in the interface.
Assertion (software development)In computer programming, specifically when using the imperative programming paradigm, an assertion is a predicate (a Boolean-valued function over the state space, usually expressed as a logical proposition using the variables of a program) connected to a point in the program, that always should evaluate to true at that point in code execution. Assertions can help a programmer read the code, help a compiler compile it, or help the program detect its own defects.
Programmation événementielleEn informatique, la programmation événementielle est un paradigme de programmation fondé sur les événements. Elle s'oppose à la programmation séquentielle. Le programme sera principalement défini par ses réactions aux différents événements qui peuvent se produire, c'est-à-dire des changements d'état de variable, par exemple l'incrémentation d'une liste, un déplacement ou un clic de souris, une saisie au clavier...
Read–eval–print loopA read–eval–print loop (REPL), also termed an interactive toplevel or language shell, is a simple interactive computer programming environment that takes single user inputs, executes them, and returns the result to the user; a program written in a REPL environment is executed piecewise. The term usually refers to programming interfaces similar to the classic Lisp machine interactive environment. Common examples include command-line shells and similar environments for programming languages, and the technique is very characteristic of scripting languages.
Runtime libraryIn computer programming, a runtime library is a set of low-level routines used by a compiler to invoke some of the behaviors of a runtime environment, by inserting calls to the runtime library into compiled executable binary. The runtime environment implements the execution model, built-in functions, and other fundamental behaviors of a programming language. During execution (run time) of that computer program, execution of those calls to the runtime library cause communication between the executable binary and the runtime environment.
