terminology

Can somebody explain me the difference between the following structures: Hash Map Hash Table, Hash Set, and Hash Dictionary HashMap, HashTable, and HashDictionary all mean a dictionary, mapping unique unordered keys to corresponding values, implemented using hashcodes. HashSet means a unique, unordered set, implemented using hashcodes. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4851811/what-is-the-difference-between-hash-map-hash-set-hash-dictionary

B-Tree Definition they use the 'order' term in : According to Knuth's definition, a B-tree of order m is a tree which satisfies the following properties: 1. Every node has at most m children. ... and 'Degree' is defined in Tree terms as: Degree – number of sub trees of a node. so, are they same thing? I cannot feel any difference. Degree represents the lower bound on the number of children a node in the B Tree can have (except for the root). i.e the minimum number of children possible. Whereas the Order represents the upper bound on the number of children. ie. the maximum number possible. B

Yeah, I'm struggling with that. I cannot distinguish among them because every explanation I read is so unclear and philosophical enough. Can someone clear up these definitions for me ? Thanks guys. These definitions apply as much to procedural-programming as oop ? Thanks. Function is a combination of instructions coupled together to achieve some result. It may take arguments and return result. If a function doesn't return a result it is usually called a procedure. Examples: function drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2): // draws a line using Bresenham's algorithm from x1,y1 to x2,y2. // doesn't return

When learning about Go's dependency management, I often hear the term "vendor" used as a verb. Example: "The dependencies that your application vendors..." What does it mean to vendor a dependency in this context? Examples: "Dependencies that are vendored with your application" Source: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-go#declare-app-dependencies "godep will write the vendored code" Source: https://github.com/tools/godep#go-15-vendor-experiment Follow-up questions: Is this related to vendoring in Ruby ? Is this term fully defined in the Go 1.5 Vendor Experiment , or is

In Java, an Object can have a runtime type (which is what it was created as) and a casted type (the type you have casted it to be). I'm wondering what are the proper name for these types. For instance class A { } class B extends A { } A a = new B(); a was created as a B however it was declared as an A . What is the proper way of referring to the type of a using each perspective? Jon Skeet I think it's important to distinguish between the object (which exists at execution time, and just has its execution time type) and an expression (such as a variable) which has a compile-time type. So in this
