  2. Snippet (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snippet_(programming)

    Definition. In programming practice, "snippet" refers narrowly to a portion of source code that is literally included by an editor program into a file, and is a form of copy and paste programming. [2] This concrete inclusion is in contrast to abstraction methods, such as functions or macros, which are abstraction within the language.

  3. Literate programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming

    Literate Programming by Donald Knuth is the seminal book on literate programming.. Literate programming is a programming paradigm introduced in 1984 by Donald Knuth in which a computer program is given as an explanation of how it works in a natural language, such as English, interspersed (embedded) with snippets of macros and traditional source code, from which compilable source code can be ...

  4. Software development kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development_kit

    A software development kit ( SDK) is a collection of software development tools in one installable package. They facilitate the creation of applications by having a compiler, debugger and sometimes a software framework. They are normally specific to a hardware platform and operating system combination. To create applications with advanced ...

    MSVC. v. t. e. In computing, just-in-time ( JIT) compilation (also dynamic translation or run-time compilations) [1] is compilation (of computer code) during execution of a program (at run time) rather than before execution. [2] This may consist of source code translation but is more commonly bytecode translation to machine code, which is then ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

    Except for its two I/O commands, Brainfuck is a minor variation of the formal programming language P′′ created by Corrado Böhm in 1964, which is explicitly based on the Turing machine. In fact, using six symbols equivalent to the respective Brainfuck commands +, -, <, >, [, ], Böhm provided an explicit program for each of the basic ...
