Type theory | Polymorphism (computer science)

Ad hoc polymorphism

In programming languages, ad hoc polymorphism is a kind of polymorphism in which polymorphic functions can be applied to arguments of different types, because a polymorphic function can denote a number of distinct and potentially heterogeneous implementations depending on the type of argument(s) to which it is applied. When applied to object-oriented or procedural concepts, it is also known as function overloading or operator overloading. The term ad hoc in this context is not intended to be pejorative; it refers simply to the fact that this type of polymorphism is not a fundamental feature of the type system. This is in contrast to parametric polymorphism, in which polymorphic functions are written without mention of any specific type, and can thus apply a single abstract implementation to any number of types in a transparent way. This classification was introduced by Christopher Strachey in 1967. (Wikipedia).

ADVERBS OF DEGREE - ENGLISH GRAMMAR

Adverbs of degree are words that describe or modify adjectives or adverbs. They are a special type of adverb, so I don't really like to think of them as adverbs. They are best on their own category. These are also called intensifiers or qualifiers. If you want to support the channel, hit

Why Algebraic Data Types Are Important

Strong static typing detects a lot of bugs at compile time, so why would anyone prefer to program in JavaScript or Python? The main reason is that type systems can be extremely complex, often with byzantine typing rules (C++ comes to mind). This makes generic programming a truly dark art.

Iterators: The Next Iteration

Iterators are a generalization of lists that are accessed one element at a time. Iterators allow us to work with data whose length is infinite or unknown, and they avoid the explicit generation of all elements at the same time, by using incremental generators. First presented a year ago, t
