Type and metaphor for computer programmers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The duality of computer programs is characterized, on the one hand, by their physical implementations on physical devices, and, on the other, by the conceptual implementations in programmers’ minds of the objects making up the computational processes they conceive. We contend that central to programmers’ conceptual implementations are (i) the concept of type, at both the programming and the design level, and (ii) metaphors created to facilitate their use.

An approach to Improve Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Using CUDA
The time consumption in solving computationally heavy problems has always been a concern for computer programmers. Due to simplicity of its implementation, the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is a suitable meta-heuristic algorithm for solving computationally heavy problems. However, despite the simplicity, the algorithm is inefficient for solving real computationally heavy problems but the pr...

When Kent Beck originally coined the term, he described two programmers working at di...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Ideational Grammatical Metaphor in Scientific and Political Texts
Language, science and politics go together and learning these genres is to learn a language created for codifying, extending and transmitting scientific and political knowledge. Grammatical metaphor is divided into two broad areas: ideational and interpersonal.This paper focuses on the first type i.e. Ideational Grammatical Metaphor (IGM), which includes process types and nominalization. The m...
متن کاملA Study of Ideational Grammatical Metaphor in Health Texts of English Newspapers
Systemic functional grammar constructs a grammar for the purpose of text analysis to investigate how grammar is used as a means of making meaning. Grammatical metaphor is one of the language phenomena introduced by Halliday (2004) in the framework of functional grammar. The present work focuses on the application of Halliday’s metafunctional framework in health texts of English newspapers. The ...

Structured graphics is useful for building applications that use a direct manipulation metaphor. Object-oriented languages offer inheritance, encapsulation, and runtime binding of operations to objects. Unfortunately, standard structured graphics packages do not use an object-oriented model, and object-oriented systems do not provide general-purpose structured graphics, relying instead on low-l...
