| | Reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computer science, references are datatypes which refer to an object elsewhere in memory, and are used to construct a wide variety of data structures such as linked lists. | | | In semantics, reference is generally construed as the relation between nouns or pronouns and objects that are named by them. | | | In scholarship, a reference may be a citation of a text that has been used in the creation of a piece of work such as an essay, report, or oration. |

| | Reference (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2) |
| | Reference provides a way of recording address information about objects which themselves are not directly bound to the naming/directory system. | | | This class represents a reference to an object that is found outside of the naming/directory system. | | | Contains the fully-qualified name of the class of the object to which this Reference refers. |

| | Reference |
| | Reference is arguably the central notion in the philosophy of language, with close ties to the notions of meaning and truth. | | | Since function is transparent, it is not implausible to suppose that reference is determined by a description that specifies the function in question. | | | Reference in a context is ‘content,’ that is, an expression's contribution to ‘what is said.’ Character is more like linguistic meaning than reference and is supposed (according to Kaplan) to account for cognitive significance. |

| | PHP: References Explained - Manual |
| | References can be thought of as hardlinking in Unix filesystem. | | | The result is that when you change a function to pass by reference, it will only become more efficient if, inside the function, the passed variable is having its data altered, in which case passing by reference causes your code to alter the data of the original copy. | | | Since references are more like hardlinks than pointers, it is not possible to change a reference to an object by using that same reference. |

| | Weak reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Weak references are used to prevent circular references and to avoid keeping in memory referenced but unneeded objects. | | | In computer programming, a weak reference is a reference that does not protect the referent object from collection by a garbage collector. | | | Weak references are also used to minimize the number of unnecessary objects in memory by allowing the program to indicate which objects are not critical by only weakly referencing them. |

| | Reference counting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In computer science, reference counting is a technique of storing the number of references, pointers, or handles to a resource such as an object or block of memory. | | | Reference counting is often known as a garbage collection algorithm where each object contains a count of the number of references to it held by other objects. | | | In this context, the simple reference count of an object is the in degree of its vertex. |

| | Dangling reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In relational database systems a dangling reference occurs when a foreign key refers to a record that doesn't exist anymore or was never created. | | | A dangling reference in a program is a reference to an object, record or variable which doesn't exist anymore. | | | In a programming language, a dangling reference occurs when a pointer to a local variable in a function remains after the function has terminated. |

| | Counting sort is stable (see sorting algorithm) and has a running time of Θ(n+k), where n and k are the lengths of the arrays A (the input array) and C (the counting array), respectively. | | | Counting sort may for example be the best algorithm for sorting numbers whose range is between 0 and 100, but it is probably unsuitable for sorting a list of names alphabetically. | | | Counting sort is a sorting algorithm which (like bucket sort) takes advantage of knowing the range of the numbers in the array to be sorted (array A). |

| | PEP 205 -- Weak References |
| | Presentation: Two ways that weak references are presented to the Python layer have been as explicit reference objects upon which some operation is required in order to retrieve a usable reference to the underlying object, and proxy objects which masquerade as the original objects as much as possible. | | | Reference objects are easy to work with when some additional layer of object managemenet is being added in Python; references can be checked for liveness explicitly, without having to invoke operations on the referents and catching some special exception raised when an invalid weak reference is used. | | | Java's "weak" references are most like Dianne Hackborn's old vref proposal: a reference object refers to a single Python object, but does not own a reference to that object. |

| | references |
| | For this reason, setting a reference to NULL is not possible, and the idea of checking a reference for an unassigned value is not meaningful. | | | For large structures or objects passed into a function or method, a reference is sometimes used to avoid the expense of a copy operation, even though the structure or object is not modifed. | | | References seem to have much in common with pointers, but the actual workings remain "under the covers," and the programmer never needs to worry about them. |
