computer programming, a function object is a construct allowing an object to be invoked or called as if it were an ordinary function, usually with the same...

of a function object for every declaration. The object CalculusVer2 uses the std::result_of object to derive the return type of the function object: template<...

In object-oriented (OO) and functional programming, an immutable object (unchangeable object) is an object whose state cannot be modified after it is...

In object-oriented programming such as is often used in C++ and Object Pascal, a virtual function or virtual method is an inheritable and overridable function...

with languages where functions are first-class objects, in which functions can be returned as results from higher-order functions, or passed as arguments...

retrieve the function as a value: (function foo) evaluates to a function object. #'foo exists as a shorthand notation. To apply such a function object, one must...

writing a new function object, simply by combining predefined function objects and function object adaptors. The class template std::function provided by...

languages, subtyping allows a function to be written to take an object of a certain type T, but also work correctly, if passed an object that belongs to a type...

In object-oriented programming, a factory is an object for creating other objects; formally, it is a function or method that returns objects of a varying...

Perl and PHP, allow a function object to be passed. CLI languages such as C# and VB.NET provide a type-safe encapsulating function reference known as delegate...

ECMAScript standard. It has dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions. It is multi-paradigm, supporting event-driven, functional...

grammar cannot distinguish between the creation of an object parameter and specification of a function's type. In those situations, the compiler is required...

In object-oriented programming, object copying is creating a copy of an existing object, a unit of data in object-oriented programming. The resulting object...
