Topic: Reference (computer science)



  
 Reference (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, a reference is a small object containing information which refers to data elsewhere, as opposed to containing the data itself.
References are fundamental in constructing many data structures and in exchanging information between different parts of a program.
Internal storage is usually more efficient, because there is a space cost for the references and dynamic allocation metadata, and a time cost associated with dereferencing a reference and with allocating the memory for the smaller objects.

 Category:Computer science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In its most general sense, computer science (CS or compsci) is the study of computation and information processing, both in hardware and in software.
In practice, computer science includes a variety of topics relating to computers, which range from the abstract analysis of algorithms, formal grammars, etc. to more concrete subjects like programming languages, software, and computer hardware.
As a scientific discipline, it is distinct from mathematics, programming, software engineering, informatics, and computer engineering, although there are significant overlaps and no clear demarcation.

While there are many similarities between a brain and an electronic computer, there are also several factors which make the human ‘computer’ unique: First of all, it is rather large.
Compare this to today’s computer chip with its total of about ten million transistors, and you can understand why, at present, we have about sufficient technology to simulate the brain of a slug.
