Cramming
(gcide) | Cram \Cram\ (kr[a^]m), v. t. [imp. & p. p. Crammed (kr[a^]md);
p. pr. & vb. n. Cramming.] [AS. crammian to cram; akin to
Icel. kremja to squeeze, bruise, Sw. krama to press. Cf.
Cramp.]
1. To press, force, or drive, particularly in filling, or in
thrusting one thing into another; to stuff; to crowd; to
fill to superfluity; as, to cram anything into a basket;
to cram a room with people.
[1913 Webster]
Their storehouses crammed with grain. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
He will cram his brass down our throats. --Swift.
[1913 Webster]
2. To fill with food to satiety; to stuff.
[1913 Webster]
Children would be freer from disease if they were
not crammed so much as they are by fond mothers.
--Locke.
[1913 Webster]
Cram us with praise, and make us

(Computers)
A computer programming language with an instruction set
allowing one instruction to code for several assembly
language instructions.
Note: The aggregation of several assembly-language
instructions into one instruction allows much greater
efficiency in writing computer programs. Most programs
are now written in some higher programming language,
such as BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, C, C++,
PROLOG, or JAVA.
[PJC] |
programming language
(gcide) | Language \Lan"guage\, n. [OE. langage, F. langage, fr. L. lingua
the tongue, hence speech, language; akin to E. tongue. See
Tongue, cf. Lingual.]
[1913 Webster]
1. Any means of conveying or communicating ideas;
specifically, human speech; the expression of ideas by the
voice; sounds, expressive of thought, articulated by the
organs of the throat and mouth.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Language consists in the oral utterance of sounds which
usage has made the representatives of ideas. When two
or more persons customarily annex the same sounds to
the same ideas, the expression of these sounds by one
person communicates his ideas to another. This is the
primary sense of language, the use of which is to
communicate the thoughts of one person to another
through the organs of hearing. Articulate sounds are
represented to the eye by letters, marks, or
characters, which form words.
[1913 Webster]
2. The expression of ideas by writing, or any other
instrumentality.
[1913 Webster]
3. The forms of speech, or the methods of expressing ideas,
peculiar to a particular nation.
[1913 Webster]
4. The characteristic mode of arranging words, peculiar to an
individual speaker or writer; manner of expression; style.
[1913 Webster]
Others for language all their care express. --Pope.
[1913 Webster]
5. The inarticulate sounds by which animals inferior to man
express their feelings or their wants.
[1913 Webster]
6. The suggestion, by objects, actions, or conditions, of
ideas associated therewith; as, the language of flowers.
[1913 Webster]
There was . . . language in their very gesture.
--Shak.
[1913 Webster]
7. The vocabulary and phraseology belonging to an art or
department of knowledge; as, medical language; the
language of chemistry or theology.
[1913 Webster]
8. A race, as distinguished by its speech. [R.]
[1913 Webster]
All the people, the nations, and the languages, fell
down and worshiped the golden image. --Dan. iii. 7.
[1913 Webster]
9. Any system of symbols created for the purpose of
communicating ideas, emotions, commands, etc., between
sentient agents.
[PJC]
10. Specifically: (computers) Any set of symbols and the
rules for combining them which are used to specify to a
computer the actions that it is to take; also referred to
as a computer lanugage or programming language; as,
JAVA is a new and flexible high-level language which has
achieved popularity very rapidly.
[PJC]
Note: Computer languages are classed a low-level if each
instruction specifies only one operation of the
computer, or high-level if each instruction may specify
a complex combination of operations. Machine language
and assembly language are low-level computer
languages. FORTRAN, COBOL and C are high-level
computer languages. Other computer languages, such as
JAVA, allow even more complex combinations of low-level
operations to be performed with a single command. Many
programs, such as databases, are supplied with special
languages adapted to manipulate the objects of concern
for that specific program. These are also high-level
languages.
[PJC]
Language master, a teacher of languages. [Obs.]
Syn: Speech; tongue; idiom; dialect; phraseology; diction;
discourse; conversation; talk.
Usage: Language, Speech, Tongue, Idiom, Dialect.
Language is generic, denoting, in its most extended
use, any mode of conveying ideas; speech is the
language of articulate sounds; tongue is the
Anglo-Saxon term for language, esp. for spoken
language; as, the English tongue. Idiom denotes the
forms of construction peculiar to a particular
language; dialects are varieties of expression which
spring up in different parts of a country among people
speaking substantially the same language.

APL
ISO 8485
(APL) A programming language designed originally by
Ken Iverson at Harvard University in 1957-1960 as a notation
for the concise expression of mathematical algorithms. It
went unnamed (or just called Iverson's Language) and
unimplemented for many years. Finally a subset, APL\360, was
implemented in 1964.
APL is an interactive array-oriented language and programming
environment with many innovative features. It was originally
written using a non-standard character set. It is
dynamically typed with dynamic scope. APL introduced
several functional forms but is not purely functional.
Dyalog APL/W and Visual APL are recognized .NET languages.
Dyalog APL/W, APLX and APL2000 all offer object-oriented
extensions to the language.
ISO 8485 is the 1989 standard defining the language.

API
Application Programming Interface
Applications Programming Interface
(API, or "application programming interface")
The interface (calling conventions) by which an {application
program} accesses operating system and other services. An
API is defined at source code level and provides a level of
abstraction between the application and the kernel (or
other privileged utilities) to ensure the portability of the
code.
An API can also provide an interface between a {high level
language} and lower level utilities and services which were
written without consideration for the calling conventions
supported by compiled languages. In this case, the API's main
task may be the translation of parameter lists from one format
to another and the interpretation of call-by-value and
call-by-reference arguments in one or both directions.

aspect-oriented programming
(foldoc) | aspect-oriented programming
AOP
(AOP) A style of programming that attempts to
abstract out features common to many parts of the code beyond
simple functional modules and thereby improve the quality of
software.
Mechanisms for defining and composing abstractions are
essential elements of programming languages. The design style
supported by the abstraction mechanisms of most current
languages is one of breaking a system down into parameterised
components that can be called upon to perform a function.
But many systems have properties that don't necessarily align
with the system's functional components, such as failure
handling, persistence, communication, replication,
coordination, memory management, or real-time constraints,
and tend to cut across groups of functional components.
While they can be thought about and analysed relatively
separately from the basic functionality, programming them
using current component-oriented languages tends to result
in these aspects being spread throughout the code. The
source code becomes a tangled mess of instructions for
different purposes.
This "tangling" phenomenon is at the heart of much needless
complexity in existing software systems. A number of
researchers have begun working on approaches to this problem
that allow programmers to express each of a system's aspects
of concern in a separate and natural form, and then
automatically combine those separate descriptions into a final
executable form. These approaches have been called
aspect-oriented programming.

cargo cult programming
(foldoc) | cargo cult programming
A style of (incompetent) programming
dominated by ritual inclusion of code or program structures
that serve no real purpose. A cargo cult programmer will
usually explain the extra code as a way of working around some
bug encountered in the past, but usually neither the bug nor
the reason the code apparently avoided the bug was ever fully
understood (compare shotgun debugging, {voodoo
programming}).
The term "cargo cult" is a reference to aboriginal religions
that grew up in the South Pacific after World War II. The
practices of these cults centre on building elaborate mockups
of aeroplanes and military style landing strips in the hope of
bringing the return of the god-like aeroplanes that brought
such marvelous cargo during the war. Hackish usage probably
derives from Richard Feynman's characterisation of certain
practices as "cargo cult science" in his book "Surely You're
Joking, Mr. Feynman" (W. W. Norton & Co, New York 1985, ISBN
0-393-01921-7).

evolutionary programming
(foldoc) | evolutionary programming
(EP) A stochastic optimisation strategy originally conceived
by Lawrence J. Fogel in 1960.
An initially random population of individuals (trial
solutions) is created. Mutations are then applied to each
individual to create new individuals. Mutations vary in the
severity of their effect on the behaviour of the individual.
The new individuals are then compared in a "tournament" to
select which should survive to form the new population.
EP is similar to a genetic algorithm, but models only the
behavioural linkage between parents and their offspring, rather
than seeking to emulate specific genetic operators from nature
such as the encoding of behaviour in a genome and
recombination by genetic crossover.
EP is also similar to an evolution strategy (ES) although
the two approaches developed independently. In EP, selection
is by comparison with a randomly chosen set of other
individuals whereas ES typically uses deterministic
selection in which the worst individuals are purged from the
population.

functional programming
(foldoc) | functional programming
(FP) A program in a functional language consists
of a set of (possibly recursive) function definitions and
an expression whose value is output as the program's result.
Functional languages are one kind of declarative language.
They are mostly based on the typed lambda-calculus with
constants. There are no side-effects to expression
evaluation so an expression, e.g. a function applied to
certain arguments, will always evaluate to the same value (if
its evaluation terminates). Furthermore, an expression can
always be replaced by its value without changing the overall
result (referential transparency).
The order of evaluation of subexpressions is determined by the
language's evaluation strategy. In a strict
(call-by-value) language this will specify that arguments
are evaluated before applying a function whereas in a
non-strict (call-by-name) language arguments are passed
unevaluated.
Programs written in a functional language are generally
compact and elegant, but have tended, until recently, to run
slowly and require a lot of memory.
Examples of purely functional languages are Clean, FP,
Haskell, Hope, Joy, LML, Miranda, and SML. Many
other languages such as Lisp have a subset which is purely
functional but also contain non-functional constructs.

genetic programming
(foldoc) | genetic programming
(GP) A programming technique which extends the
genetic algorithm to the domain of whole computer programs.
In GP, populations of programs are genetically bred to solve
problems. Genetic programming can solve problems of system
identification, classification, control, robotics,
optimisation, game playing, and pattern recognition.
Starting with a primordial ooze of hundreds or thousands of
randomly created programs composed of functions and terminals
appropriate to the problem, the population is progressively
evolved over a series of generations by applying the
operations of Darwinian fitness proportionate reproduction and
crossover (sexual recombination).

imperative programming
Any programming language that specifies explicit
manipulation of the state of the computer system, not to be
confused with a procedural language, which specifies an
explicit sequence of steps to perform.
An example of an imperative (but non-procedural) language is a
data manipulation language for a {relational database
management system}. This specifies changes to the database
but does not necessarily require anyone to specify a sequence
of steps.
Both contrast with declarative languages, which specify
neither explicit state manipulation nor a sequence of steps.

A very early attempt by Arthur W. Burks to express
machine language at a higher level of abstraction. Like
Plankalkul, it used a right-handed style of assignment, in
which the location appears on the right.

internet server application programming interface

ISAPI
(ISAPI) Microsoft's programming interface
between applications and their Internet Server. Active
Servers created with ISAPI extensions can be complete
in-process applications themselves, or can "connect" to other
services. ISAPI is used for the same sort of functions as
CGI but uses Microsoft Windows dynamic link libraries
(DLL) for greater efficiency. The server loads the DLL the
first time a request is received and the DLL then stays in
memory, ready to service other requests until the server
decides it is no longer needed. This minimises the overhead
associated with executing such applications many times.
An HTTP server can unload ISAPI application DLLs to free
memory or preload them to speed up the first access.
Applications can also be enhanced by ISAPI filters
