The set of all global variables is known as the global environment or global state. In computing, a null pointer (sometimes shortened to nullptr or null) or null reference is a value saved for indicating that the pointer or reference does not refer to a valid object. Magic number (programming) in computer programming, a magic number is any of the following A unique value with unexplained meaning or multiple occurrences which could (preferably) be replaced with a named constant A constant numerical or text value used to identify a file format or protocol (for files, see list of file signatures). Alternative approaches to writing automated tests is to write all of the production code before starting on the test.
In computer programming, a constant is a value that is not altered by the program during normal execution When associated with an identifier, a constant is said to be named, although the terms constant and named constant are often used interchangeably This is contrasted with a variable, which is an identifier with a value that can be changed during normal execution Initial and terminal objects are not required to exist in a given category However, if they do exist, they are essentially unique Specifically, if i1 and i2 are two different initial objects, then there is a unique isomorphism between them
The same is true for terminal objects Global common subexpression elimination works on an entire procedure, both kinds rely on data flow analysis of which expressions are available at which points in a program.
