	Array programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Array programming languages (also known as vector or multidimensional languages) generalize operations on scalars to apply transparently to vectors, matrices, and higher dimensional arrays.
		Function rank is an important concept to array programming languages in general, by analogy to tensor rank in mathematics: functions that operate on data may be classified by the number of dimensions they act on.
		The canonical examples of array programming languages are APL, its sucessor J, and Fortran 95.

	Scalar programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scalar programming is a term used to refer to those programming approaches that do not follow the Array programming paradigm.
		The fundamental idea behind Scalar Programming is that operations apply to a single value at a time.
		This makes it a low-level programming model as it restricts the programmer to think and operate on the elemental constituents of data aggregates, and resorting to explicit loops of individual scalar operations to process the whole aggregates.

	Programming paradigm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A programming paradigm is a paradigmatic style of programming (compare with a methodology which is a paradigmatic style of doing software engineering).
		A programming paradigm provides (and determines) the view that the programmer has of the execution of the program.
		For instance, in object-oriented programming, programmers can think of a program as a collection of interacting objects, while in functional programming a program can be thought of as a sequence of stateless function evaluations.

	Nonlinear Programming FAQ
		Semidefinite Programming is a generalization of linear programming to the space of block diagonal, symmetric, positive semidefinite matrices.
		Communicating with a nonlinear programming code can be particularly tedious and error-prone, especially if you have to write programs in a language like Fortran or C to compute function (and maybe gradient) values for your objective and constraints.

	The Perl Programming Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Program structure in Perl is somewhat free form by conventional standards.
		This is because when we say the scalar variable in the foreach() loop is set to the value of each array element in turn, we're actually using it as an alias for the array element -- changes to $val ``write through'' and modify the element of @numbers.
		Most programming languages are concerned with the contents of variables; Perl is concerned with their plurality.

		Since the program stack is a concatenation of monadic functions, it denotes a composition.
		Otherwise, if the next program element y is a function or a symbol, f is called to compute the new data stack and y is dropped from the program stack.
		Otherwise, the next program element is appended to the data stack and dropped from the program stack.

		For scalars, we put "scalar_observer" into the attribute slot to intercept accesses to the attribute.
		A scalar object is an object which is unstructured, and not shared.
		If the value of an attribute is an instance (or None), then this is considered a scalar: the structure is exposed within the instance, not at the attribute level.

	PROGRAMMING IN PERL FOR THE WORLD WIDE WEB
		Scalar data is split into two basic types: numbers and strings.
		(Remember that scalar data hold only one thing, as does an array element.) Just remember that when you are referring to the entire array (or at least more than just one element of it) you will use the "at" symbol.
		That is, you would set a scalar variable equal to an array that was placed within double quotation marks.

	Perl 5 By Example
		Scalar variables are used to track single pieces of information.
		In fact, anytime that an array is used when a scalar is needed, the value used will be the number of array elements.
		However, this ability can be confusing while looking at someone else's program if you don't remember that there is a difference between scalar contexts and array contexts.

	Perl by Avinash
		Perl programs are interpreted and executed directly, just as shell scripts are; however, they also contain control structures and operators similar to those found in the C programming language.
		The character string enclosed by the / characters is the pattern to be matched, and the scalar variable on the left of the =~ operator is the variable to be examined.
		As with scalar variables, the second character of the variable name must be a letter, and subsequent characters of the name can be letters, numbers, or underscores.

	Coherence Engine
		Scalar values -- regular old numbers like integers, floats, and doubles with no associated units -- are the mainstay of programming.
		Computer architectures are designed to move around integers or floating point numbers pretty rapidly; the original Turing machine architecture assumed that the value of cells on the tape were atomic symbols.
		There are other applications for scalars, of course, most notably counting and iteration.

	Advanced Perl Programming
		While this is as efficient as it gets, you tend to spend enormous amounts of time dealing with memory management issues, carefully setting up and modifying complex interrelationships between data, and then debugging fatal errors resulting from "dangling pointers" (pointers referring to pieces of memory that have been freed or are no longer in scope).
		A scalar, in other words, can be a number, a string, or a reference and can be freely reassigned to one or the other of these (sub)types.
		The second common mistake is assigning an array to a scalar ($a = @array) instead of the array reference ($a = \@array).

		In other words, scalars are always singular nouns, arrays and hashes are always plural (but of different declensions), and the case of the noun specifies its role: accusative for data, dative for target, genitive when being indexed.
		means ``for each variable in the list...'', the scalar variable must be in the accusative (as it is governed by the preposition ``for''), and the list must be in the ablative (denoting inclusion).
		The use of inflexion to denote semantic roles in a programming language offers an interesting variation from the ubiquity of positional syntax, replacing the requirement to recall syntactic rules with the requirement to remember suffixes.

	Programming:Perl Scalar Variables - Wikibooks
		The best way to learn about scalar variables - Perl talk for a single variable, as against a group or list of values - is to look at an example.
		Both numbers and strings have their own set of operators which test for a condition such as equal or not equal and return either true or false.
		Rather than returning only true or false, these operators return 1 if the left argument is greater than the right argument, 0 if they are equal, and -1 if the right argument is greater than the left argument.

		In such cases, traditional goal programming techniques are incapable of identifying certain efficient (non-dominated or Pareto-optimal) solutions in a non-convex boundary.
		Two minimax goal programming models are constructed, one of which is formulated as an ordinary scalar linear programming problem and can be readily solved using existing methods such as simplex method.
		A numerical example and parametric programming techniques are used to compare this scheme with traditional goal programming in linear multiobjective optimisation.

		In many programming languages, you have to declare the types, variables, and subroutines you are going to use before you can write the first statement of executable code.
		Scalar variables can be assigned any form of scalar value: integers, floating-point numbers, strings, and even esoteric things like references to other variables, or to objects.
		Most of the file tests are unary Boolean operators: they take only one operand, a scalar that evaluates to a file or a filehandle, and they return either a true or false value.

	Scalar Values (Programming Perl) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Although we might speak of a scalar as "containing" a number or a string, scalars are typeless: you are not required to declare your scalars to be of type integer or floating-point or string or whatever.
		But they're still scalars, for all that, because no matter how complicated a data structure gets, you often want to treat it as a single value.
		[12] Variable interpolation may be done for scalar variables, entire arrays (but not hashes), single elements from an array or hash, or slices (multiple subscripts) of an array or hash.

		For example, it is often the case that the lines you retrieve from a data file will incorporate a new line character at the end of the line.
		Since we do not actually want the "\n" character included with the last database field, we use the chop function.

		There are two obvious motivations: the variable you want may not have a name (it may be an anonymous array or hash), or you may only know which variable you want at run-time (so you don't have a name to offer the compiler).
		Because a scalar variable can store a reference to any kind of data, and because dereferencing a reference with the wrong prefix leads to fatal errors, it's sometimes important to be able to determine what type of referent a specific reference refers to.
		To do real, useful, production-strength, object-oriented programming in Perl you only need to learn about one extra function, one straightforward piece of additional syntax, and three very simple rules.
