syntactic pattern matching
(gcide) | Pattern matching \Pat"tern match"ing\, n. [See pattern.]
(Computers)
A technique in automated data analysis, usually performed on
a computer, by which a group of characteristic properties of
an unknown object is compared with the comparable groups of
characteristics of a set of known objects, to discover the
idenity or proper classification of the unknown object.
Note: There are two major types of pattern matching,
statistical pattern matching and {syntactic pattern
matching}. In statistical pattern matching, the
criteria used to recognize identity or class membership
vary, but in general some combination of the
differences in the groups of characteristics of known
and unknown objects are considered to be a measure of
the difference ("distance") between them, and the
closest known object or objects are viewed as
presenting the most likely identity or class for the
unknown object. In syntactic pattern matching, a set of
known patterns, e.g. as in the possible order of parts
of speech in a language, is defined, and the unknown
pattern is compared to find that known pattern or
patterns which matches the unknown exactly. In general,
statistical pattern matching is used where properties
of objects with continuous values are being compared,
and syntactic pattern matching where a complex
arrangement of at least two different objects may be
built by application of a set of rules (a "grammar")
for combining the objects in a specified order.
Examples of the latter are natural and formal
languages.

metasyntactic variable
(foldoc) | metasyntactic variable
Strictly, a variable used in metasyntax, but
often used for any name used in examples and understood to
stand for whatever thing is under discussion, or any random
member of a class of things under discussion. The word foo
is the canonical example. To avoid confusion, hackers never
(well, hardly ever) use "foo" or other words like it as
permanent names for anything.
In filenames, a common convention is that any filename
beginning with a metasyntactic-variable name is a scratch
file that may be deleted at any time.
To some extent, the list of one's preferred metasyntactic
variables is a cultural signature. They occur both in series
(used for related groups of variables or objects) and as
singletons. Here are a few common signatures:
foo, bar, baz, quux, quuux, quuuux...: MIT/Stanford usage,
now found everywhere. At MIT (but not at Stanford), baz dropped
out of use for a while in the 1970s and '80s. A common recent
mutation of this sequence inserts qux before quux.
bazola, ztesch: Stanford (from mid-'70s on).
foo, bar, thud, grunt: This series was popular at CMU.
Other CMU-associated variables include ack, barf, foo, and
gorp.
foo, bar, fum: This series is reported to be common at
Xerox PARC.
fred, barney: See the entry for fred. These tend to be
Britishisms.
toto, titi, tata, tutu: Standard series of metasyntactic
variables among francophones.
corge, grault, flarp: Popular at Rutgers University and
among GOSMACS hackers.
zxc, spqr, wombat: Cambridge University (England).
shme: Berkeley, GeoWorks, Ingres. Pronounced /shme/ with a
short /e/.
foo, bar, zot: Helsinki University of Technology,
Finland.
blarg, wibble: New Zealand
Of all these, only "foo" and "bar" are universal (and baz
nearly so). The compounds foobar and "foobaz" also enjoy
very wide currency.
Some jargon terms are also used as metasyntactic names; barf
and mumble, for example.
See also Commonwealth Hackish for discussion of numerous
metasyntactic variables found in Great Britain and the
Commonwealth.

syntactic salt
(foldoc) | syntactic salt
The opposite of syntactic sugar, a feature designed to make
it harder to write bad code. Specifically, syntactic salt is
a hoop the programmer must jump through just to prove that he
knows what's going on, rather than to express a program
action. Some programmers consider required type declarations
to be syntactic salt. A requirement to write "end if", "end
while", "end do", etc. to terminate the last block controlled
by a control construct (as opposed to just "end") would
definitely be syntactic salt. Syntactic salt is like the real
thing in that it tends to raise hackers' blood pressures in an
unhealthy way. Compare candygrammar.
[Jargon File]
|
syntactic sugar
(foldoc) | syntactic sugar
Term coined by Peter Landin for additions to the syntax of a
language which do not affect its expressiveness but make it
"sweeter" for humans to use. Syntactic sugar gives the
programmer an alternative way of coding that is more succinct
or more like some familiar notation. It does not affect the
expressiveness of the formalism (compare chrome).
Syntactic sugar can be easily translated ("desugared") to
produce a program in some simpler "core" syntax. E.g. C's
"a[i]" notation is syntactic sugar for "*(a + i)". In a
(curried) functional language, all operators are really
functions and the use of infix notation "x+y" is syntactic
sugar for function application "(+) x y".
Alan Perlis once quipped, "Syntactic sugar causes cancer of
the semicolon."
The variants "syntactic saccharin" and "syntactic syrup" are
also recorded. These denote something even more gratuitous,
in that they serve no purpose at all. Compare candygrammar,
syntactic salt.

metasyntactic variable
(jargon) | metasyntactic variable
n.
A name used in examples and understood to stand for whatever thing is under
discussion, or any random member of a class of things under discussion. The
word foo is the canonical example. To avoid confusion, hackers never
(well, hardly ever) use ‘foo’ or other words like it as permanent names for
anything. In filenames, a common convention is that any filename beginning
with a metasyntactic-variable name is a scratch file that may be deleted
at any time.
Metasyntactic variables are so called because (1) they are variables in the
metalanguage used to talk about programs etc; (2) they are variables whose
values are often variables (as in usages like “the value of f(foo,bar) is
the sum of foo and bar”). However, it has been plausibly suggested that the
real reason for the term “metasyntactic variable” is that it sounds good.
To some extent, the list of one's preferred metasyntactic variables is a
cultural signature. They occur both in series (used for related groups of
variables or objects) and as singletons. Here are a few common signatures:
