  List of redundant expressions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although redundancy is a bugbear for the punctilious, the use of such expressions can be stylistically valid.
Their redundancy can be tenuous, specific to a particular context, or dependent on the assumption of background knowledge.
Note: While indeed redundant — a clock is a device for telling time — the phrase time clock or time-clock is a specific kind of clock used to record the hours that employees work, usually by punching time-cards,[3][4] as opposed to simply clock, which is the generic time-keeping device.

Derived expression types are not semantically primitive, but can instead be explained in terms of the primitive constructs as in section 7.3 Derived expression types.
The <test> expressions are evaluated from left to right, and the value of the first expression that evaluates to a false value (see section see section 6.1 Booleans) is returned.

In an expression context, the array is converted at once to a pointer, as usual (see section 6), so the second declaration initializes p to point to the unnamed array's first element.
A: When C requires the Boolean value of an expression, a false value is inferred when the expression compares equal to zero, and a true value otherwise.
In an expression of the form a[i], the array decays into a pointer, following the rule above, and is then subscripted just as would be a pointer variable in the expression p[i] (although the eventual memory accesses will be different, as explained in question 6.2).

 Fortran 90 Notes Redundant Features, QUB   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The method of removing redundant features of Fortran, as adopted by the standards committee, was described in "Language Evolution".
The obsolescent list includes features which might be removed in the next revision and should not be used in new or revised programs.
Additionally, Fortran 90 includes other redundant features which are safer to use then those in the obsolescent list, but will probably be included in the obsolescent list in the next version, and therefore are recommended not to be used in new or revised programs.

 Pleonasm, a list of redundant, repetitious statements
It means, “the use of more words than are necessary for the expression of an idea; redundancy.” So it is that we go around in circles: pleonasm means tautology, which means redundancy, which means pleonasm, which means tautology, ad infinitum.
Tautologous expressions are often used in legal documents for clarification of meaning; such as, “will and testament” and “breaking and entering”.
We are presenting this pleonastic-tautological-redundant list, but it isn’t nearly as long as the oxymora compilations.

 AEJMC Archives -- September 2002, week 2 (#71)
Gilmore vaguely describes the task as one of polishing copy, while Westley offers numerous examples of before-and-after changes in copy.[26] The implication made by the textbook authors is that copy editors have some sixth sense that leads them to making improvements by taking out words or recasting sentences.
The strategy of the textbook authors appears to focus on listing of typical words that are misspelled, words that are misused, and grammatical mistakes editors should watch for.
With their facial expressions and tones, they implied the problem was related to work habits of some of their co-workers whom they did not want to identify.

Symbolic Expressions usually have low level semantics declared (this is a number, that is a string etc).
For example the expression (integer integer string) could be taken to match a list like (3 4 "foo") but reject (foo bar) or (1 2 3).
The expression (integer :range (0 14) :satisfies evenp) would mean an integer in the range 0 to 14 that is even.

 The Fishbowl: Beware Regular Expressions
MT-Textile is built on top of a series of regular expressions, and as such, the more you try to combine different Textile markups, the more likely you are to confuse the parser and end up with something different to what you intended.
I quickly found that the effort required to add new markup to the wiki, keeping in mind the way each regexp would interact with the previous and subsequent expressions, increased exponentially with the complexity of the expression language.
The important step being that the list of REs is _clearly ordered_, and there are explicit rules on whether to keep matching subsequent REs or not depending on which REs have matched already.

 Do You Speak American . What Speech Do We Like Best? . Beastly | PBS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
A third variant, ER-uh, with the final r silent, is not listed in dictionaries but is acceptable from speakers who normally drop their r’s (e.g., some New Englanders, New Yorkers, and Southerners) and pronounce, for example, carrier as KAR-ee-uh and father as FAH-thuh.
Current dictionaries list catsup and catchup as alternative spellings but fail to note that while the former is still fairly common the latter is rarely used by anyone over the age of ten.
The four-syllable pronunciation is listed first in Kenyon and Knott (1949), American College (1952), and Random House II (1987), and is preferred by Lass and Lass (1976), the NBC Handbook (1984), and WNW Guide (1984).

 Systematic search for lambda expressions | Lambda the Ultimate
The main goal of this line of research is to ease functional programming, along with the subgoal to provide an axis to evaluate heuristic approaches to program synthesis such as genetic programming by telling the best performance possible by exhaustive search algorithms.
While our previous approach to that goal used combinatory expressions in order to simplify the synthesis process, which led to redundant combinator expressions with complex types, this time we use de Bruijn lambda expressions and enjoy improved results.
Although the algorithm is slow and only works on small expressions, it looks helpful.

 Xml Isa Good Copy Of Ess Expressions
No, but most of it can be represented by strings, integers and symbols (as evidenced by the fact that everything in XML is represented by just strings and symbols alone).
Across all of the languages that implement an XML-RPC library (see http://www.xmlrpc.com/directory/1568/implementations but I don't think that's a complete list any longer), using that as a more realistic, macroscopic argument, you can't find any agreement on what a "structure" is, beyond "something more then a flat array".
An XML library can be built without also forcing the introduction of a certain type of list, a certain type of integer, etc. XML is better for many uses because it is less specified.
