Subroutines

sequence of instructions that can be called from other points in a computer program

algorithmic technique in computer science of solving a problem by reducing it to a smaller instance of the same problem

in computer programming, special kind of variable that holds data that was passed as an argument to a subroutine

technique for creating lexically scoped first class functions

function definition that is not bound to an identifier

subroutine available to applications that access relational database management systems

stack data structure that stores information about the active subroutines of a computer program

mathematical function that takes one or more functions as an input or that outputs a function

any executable code that is passed as an argument to other code that is expected to call back the argument at a given time

computing operation that can be recognized and handled by software

Coroutines are computer program components that allow execution to be suspended and resumed, generalizing subroutines for cooperative multitasking. Coroutines are well-suited for implementing familiar program components such as cooperative tasks, exceptions, event loops, iterators, infinite lists and pipes.

programming statement that stops execution of the current subroutine, optionally passing back a return value to the code that called the subroutine

subroutine that calls itself as its final action

quality of subroutines and computer programs

low-level scheme specifying how functions receive parameters and return values in a programming language implementation

computing function triggered by an interrupt

programming language feature that allows manipulating functions like other values

declaration that omits the function body

pointer that points to a function

defines the inputs and outputs for a function, subroutine or method

a function summarizing multiple values into one summary statistic

function of indefinite arity, i.e., one which accepts a variable number of arguments

compiler optimization replacing a function call with that function's body

function provided by the user of a program or environment

interface to call functions from other programming languages

in programming, function that does not interact with global state

Subroutine who’s job is only to call another subroutine

type-safe function pointer used by the Microsoft Common Language Infrastructure

programming construct allowing an object to be invoked or called as if it were an ordinary function, usually with the same syntax

argument to a function that a programmer is not required to specify

extension to the C programming language designed to support parallel programming

system within the Microsoft Windows operating system that prioritizes required tasks

function defined inside another function

calling conventions used in x86 architecture programming

system call used in many computer operating systems

type of the value returned by a subroutine
