Ever wondered why programming in Bash is so difficult? Bash employs the same constructs as traditional programming languages; however, under the hood, the logic is rather different. The Bourne-Again ...

In Part 1 of this three-part series on aspect-oriented programming (AOP), I introduced AOP concepts and briefly gave AOP implementation examples. Continuing that trend in this article, I present a ...

Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) have emerged as a transformative tool for expressing complex statistical models and automating inference procedures. By integrating probability theory into ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

Computers are designed to carry out calculations. Mathematical operators allow arithmetic to be performed on values.
