  2. Programming language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language

    Programming language. The source code for a computer program in C. The gray lines are comments that explain the program to humans. When compiled and run, it will give the output "Hello, world!". A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs. [1]

  3. Compiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

    Compiler analysis is the prerequisite for any compiler optimization, and they tightly work together. For example, dependence analysis is crucial for loop transformation. The scope of compiler analysis and optimizations vary greatly; their scope may range from operating within a basic block, to whole procedures, or even the whole program. There ...

  4. Interpreter (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing)

    A compiler can thus make almost all the conversions from source code semantics to the machine level once and for all (i.e. until the program has to be changed) while an interpreter has to do some of this conversion work every time a statement or function is executed. However, in an efficient interpreter, much of the translation work (including ...

  5. Computer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

    Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages. Programmers typically use high-level programming ...

  6. Programmer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmer

    Computer programmer. A programmer, computer programmer or coder is an author of computer source code – someone with skill in computer programming . The professional titles software developer and software engineer are used for jobs that require a programmer. Generally, a programmer writes code in a computer language and with an intent to build ...

  7. C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++

    C++ supports several kinds of static (resolved at compile-time) and dynamic (resolved at run-time) polymorphisms, supported by the language features described above. Compile-time polymorphism does not allow for certain run-time decisions, while runtime polymorphism typically incurs a performance penalty. Static polymorphism

  8. List of compilers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers

    This page is intended to list all current compilers, compiler generators, interpreters, translators, tool foundations, assemblers, automatable command line interfaces , etc. Ada compilers [ edit ] This list is incomplete ; you can help by adding missing items .

  9. Reflective programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_programming

    In object-oriented programming languages such as Java, reflection allows inspection of classes, interfaces, fields and methods at runtime without knowing the names of the interfaces, fields, methods at compile time. It also allows instantiation of new objects and invocation of methods. Reflection is often used as part of software testing, such ...
