Vector graphics rendering (VML)

Vector graphics rendering (VML) is a process of converting vector graphics into a format that can be displayed on a computer screen. Vector graphics are created using mathematical equations to define points, lines, and curves in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. VML allows vector graphics to be rendered on a computer screen by converting them … Read more

Lambda calculus

Lambda calculus is a formal system for function definition, application, and recursion. It is the theoretical basis for functional programming languages such as Scheme, ML, and Haskell. The lambda calculus was invented by Alonzo Church in the 1930s as a way to formalize mathematical reasoning. The lambda calculus has two parts: The first part is … Read more

Domain specific language (DSL)

A Domain Specific Language (DSL) is a programming language that is designed to be used for a specific purpose or domain. DSLs are usually much smaller and simpler than general-purpose programming languages, and they are often designed to be used by people who are not programmers. One example of a DSL is a regular expression … Read more

Stack pointer

A stack pointer is a pointer that points to the top element of a stack. The stack is a data structure that allows elements to be added and removed in a last-in-first-out (LIFO) order. When an element is added to a stack, it is placed on top of the stack, and when an element is … Read more
