Programming Jargons Other Programmers Don't Know by Stconvict(m): 8:26pm On Aug 26, 2015 |
Do you get that occasional feeling that you know some programming jargons, concepts or terms other programmers on NL don't know about? Well, If you think you have some terms in mind, then kindly share some of them and provide short descriptions of what they are. Let these other gurus know they are not the only smart dudes around on Nairaland. I have a few terms under my belt: Magic Number (binary) - the part of a binary file header that is used to determine endianess of the file. Endianess (binary) - this describes the byte order in which a processor reads or stores data. It may be little-endian or big-endian. Mantissa (data type) - is the significant digits of a floating point data type. Bounding volume hierarchy (game programming) - this is a parent-child hierarchy of shapes. It is commonly used for collision detection in game engines. Voxels (computer graphics) - are basically 3d pixels. They are used to create volumetric models. Hardware Abstraction Layer (android development) - is a layer that allows the Android OS to access hardware modules (e.g camera, bluetooth) in a consistent way accross devices. These are the few I remember for now. I'm sure you've never heard about some of them. Let's see how well you know your field (web dev, app dev, game dev, database management, systems, ...). Share what you have. NB: Please don't include terms that relate to programming practices. |
