First-class functionIn computer science, a programming language is said to have first-class functions if it treats functions as first-class citizens. This means the language supports passing functions as arguments to other functions, returning them as the values from other functions, and assigning them to variables or storing them in data structures. Some programming language theorists require support for anonymous functions (function literals) as well.
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.
Spring (framework)En informatique, Spring est un framework open source pour construire et définir l'infrastructure d'une application Java, dont il facilite le développement et les tests. En 2004, Rod Johnson a écrit le livre Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development qui explique les raisons de la création de Spring. Spring est considéré comme un conteneur dit « léger ». La raison de ce nommage est expliquée par Erik Gollot dans l’introduction du document Introduction au framework Spring.
SubtypingIn programming language theory, subtyping (also subtype polymorphism or inclusion polymorphism) is a form of type polymorphism in which a subtype is a datatype that is related to another datatype (the supertype) by some notion of substitutability, meaning that program elements, typically subroutines or functions, written to operate on elements of the supertype can also operate on elements of the subtype. If S is a subtype of T, the subtyping relation (written as S
Bounded quantificationIn type theory, bounded quantification (also bounded polymorphism or constrained genericity) refers to universal or existential quantifiers which are restricted ("bounded") to range only over the subtypes of a particular type. Bounded quantification is an interaction of parametric polymorphism with subtyping. Bounded quantification has traditionally been studied in the functional setting of System F
Monade (informatique)En théorie des langages fonctionnels typés, une monade est un patron de conception qui combine des éléments de langages fonctionnels avec des méthodologies propres aux langages impératifs. En pratique, les valeurs retournées par des portions de programme (qui peuvent être vus comme des fonctions) sont englobées en un type pour être enchaînées ultérieurement en d'autres calculs. Il s'agit alors d'avoir une représentation simulant exactement des notions telles que les exceptions ou les effets de bords, tout en conservant la logique propre à la programmation fonctionnelle.
Agda (programming language)Agda is a dependently typed functional programming language originally developed by Ulf Norell at Chalmers University of Technology with implementation described in his PhD thesis. The original Agda system was developed at Chalmers by Catarina Coquand in 1999. The current version, originally known as Agda 2, is a full rewrite, which should be considered a new language that shares a name and tradition. Agda is also a proof assistant based on the propositions-as-types paradigm, but unlike Coq, has no separate tactics language, and proofs are written in a functional programming style.
Top typeIn mathematical logic and computer science, some type theories and type systems include a top type that is commonly denoted with top or the symbol ⊤. The top type is sometimes called also universal type, or universal supertype as all other types in the type system of interest are subtypes of it, and in most cases, it contains every possible object of the type system. It is in contrast with the bottom type, or the universal subtype, which every other type is supertype of and it is often that the type contains no members at all.
Vérification formelleIn the context of hardware and software systems, formal verification is the act of proving or disproving the correctness of intended algorithms underlying a system with respect to a certain formal specification or property, using formal methods of mathematics. Formal verification can be helpful in proving the correctness of systems such as: cryptographic protocols, combinational circuits, digital circuits with internal memory, and software expressed as source code.
Programmation fonctionnelleLa programmation fonctionnelle est un paradigme de programmation de type déclaratif qui considère le calcul en tant qu'évaluation de fonctions mathématiques. Comme le changement d'état et la mutation des données ne peuvent pas être représentés par des évaluations de fonctions la programmation fonctionnelle ne les admet pas, au contraire elle met en avant l'application des fonctions, contrairement au modèle de programmation impérative qui met en avant les changements d'état.
