abs
— absolute value. returns the positive reflection of negative integers, returning positive numbers as they were. a transitive function that maps integers into the natural number line. distinct: absolute is: stateless, idempotent related: neg python: abs(number)
absolute — returns the fully qualified path for a given path and the cwd. is: stateless, idempotent distinct: abs, normal, canonical ✍
acceleration — is: vector ✍
accept — to accept a connection from a client. perl: [socket]: accept an incoming [socket] [connect]† mentioned: server ✍
acosh — hyperbolic arccosine. related: asinh, atanh, cosh, cos php: inverse hyperbolic cosine &dagger. inverse: cosh mentioned: trig ✍
add — returns the result of adding values arithmetically. opposite: sub is: arithmetic, stateless related: zero python: set: Add an element to a set. This has no effect if the element is already present.† related: bale, or, sum aka: concat, merge, plus distinct: extend mentioned: complexity function, end, identity, magnitude, neg, non polynomial time, signed ✍
adjust — to move a value either up or down in a bag based on its value and the comparison function of the bag. related: priority ✍
aggregate info — php: gets aggregation information for a given object &dagger. ✍
aggregate methods — php: dynamic class and object aggregation of methods &dagger. ✍
aggregate methods by list — php: selective dynamic class methods aggregation to an object &dagger. ✍
aggregate methods by regexp — php: selective class methods aggregation to an object using a regular expression &dagger. ✍
aggregate properties — php: dynamic aggregation of class properties to an object &dagger. ✍
aggregate properties by list — php: selective dynamic class properties aggregation to an object &dagger. ✍
aggregate properties by regexp — php: selective class properties aggregation to an object using a regular expression &dagger. ✍
aggregation info — php: alias of aggregate_info() &dagger. ✍
aka — transitive relation: also known as. "a.k.a." generally means that the present spelling is better (for orthogonality, consistency with a metaphore, whim, or fancy), but another spelling would make sense coming from precedent in another language or linguisitic inferrence. opposite: see ✍
alias — an alternate name. a function that defers to a function by another name by way of polymorphic late binding. mentioned: aliaser, bag ✍
all
— returns whether all values froma given iterable are true. short circuits on the first falsy value. related: any, every python: all(iterable)
ancestor — a transitive relation on two vertexes opposite: descendant is: transitive relation plural: ancestors related: parent ✍
ancestors — a linear collection or iteration of a vertex and its transitive parents. (basis: this is an ancestor; recur: the parent of any ancestor is also an ancestor, and comes after its child if the ancestors are ordered) opposite: descendants singular: ancestor intransitive: parent related: heritage ✍
and — logical conjunction. related: and2, intersect, mul opposite: or, nand related: or mentioned: nand2 ✍
| X | Y | X and Y | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | false | false | false |
| 1 | false | true | false |
| 2 | true | false | false |
| 3 | true | true | true |
angle — a unitless number, measured in radians, for expressing the direction of a ray from a point on a plane. related: trig mentioned: atan, atan2, cos, sin, tan ✍
any
— returns whether any value from a given iterable is true. short circuits on the first truthy value. related: all, some python: any(iterable)
apache child terminate — php: terminate apache process after this request &dagger. ✍
apache get modules — php: get a list of loaded apache modules &dagger. ✍
apache get version — php: fetch apache version &dagger. ✍
apache getenv — php: get an apache subprocess_env variable &dagger. ✍
apache lookup uri — php: perform a partial request for the specified uri and return all info about it &dagger. ✍
apache note — php: get and set apache request notes &dagger. ✍
apache request headers — php: fetch all http request headers &dagger. ✍
apache reset timeout — php: reset the apache write timer &dagger. ✍
