In his paper " The Function of an International Auxiliary Language ", he argued for the benefits of a regular grammar and advocated a critical focus on the fundamentals of language, unbiased by the idiosyncrasies of national languages, in the choice of an international auxiliary language.

* Function and target: A computer programming language is a language used to write computer programs, which involve a computer performing some kind of computation or algorithm and possibly control external devices such as printers, disk drives, robots, and so on.

Function calls and blocks of code, such as code contained within a loop, are often replaced by a one-line natural language sentence.

* The Phatic Function is language for the sake of interaction and is therefore associated with the Contact factor.

* The Metalingual ( alternatively called " metalinguistic " or " reflexive ") Function is the use of language ( what Jakobson calls " Code ") to discuss or describe itself.

However, note that depending on the language and the function, NaNs can silently be removed in expressions that would give a constant result for all other floating-point values e. g. NaN ^ 0, which may be defined as 1, so in general a later test for a set INVALID flag is needed to detect all cases where NaNs are introduced ( see section Function definition below for further details ).

A standardized control programming language, IEC 61131-3 ( a suite of 5 programming languages including Function Block, Ladder, Structured Text, Sequence Function Charts and Instruction List ), is frequently used to create programs which run on these RTUs and PLCs.

The latest version ( 2. 21 ) is dated 2008 and implements a large subset of xBase commands and functions, and the capability of writing UDFs ( User Defined Function ) to be integrated in the language.

IDEF0 ( Integration Definition for Function Modeling ) is a function modeling methodology for describing manufacturing functions, which offers a functional modeling language for the analysis, development, reengineering, and integration of information systems ; business processes ; or software engineering analysis.

* Function ( biology ), explaining why a feature survived selection

The other nine units in ENIAC were the Initiating Unit ( which started and stopped the machine ), the Cycling Unit ( used for synchronizing the other units ), the Master Programmer ( which controlled " loop " sequencing ), the Reader ( which controlled an IBM punched card reader ), the Printer ( which controlled an IBM punched card punch ), the Constant Transmitter, and three Function Tables.

* A Private Function ( screenplay ), 1986

** Function composition ( computer science ), an act or mechanism to combine simple functions to build more complicated ones

An MFP ( Multi Function Product / Printer / Peripheral ), multifunctional, all-in-one ( AIO ), or Multifunction Device ( MFD ), is an office machine which incorporates the functionality of multiple devices in one, so as to have a smaller footprint in a home or small business setting ( the SOHO market segment ), or to provide centralized document management / distribution / production in a large-office setting.

Newer formats such as State Logic and Function Block ( which is similar to the way logic is depicted when using digital integrated logic circuits ) exist, but they are still not as popular as ladder logic.

Function pointers can be used to simplify code by providing a simple way to select a function to execute based on run-time values.

Function problems can be sorted into complexity classes in the same way as decision problems.

Function f is encrypted in a way that results in E ( f ).

AMDF ( average magnitude difference function ), ASMDF ( Average Squared Mean Difference Function ), and other similar autocorrelation algorithms work this way.

A number of improvements were also made to ENIAC after 1948, including a primitive read-only stored programming mechanism using the Function Tables as program ROM, an idea included in ENIAC patent and proposed independently by Dr. Richard Clippinger of the BRL.

The IEEE 802. 11 standard also defines an optional access method using a Point Coordination Function ( PCF ).

The Enzyme Function Initiative ( EFI ) is using protein families and superfamilies as the basis for development of a sequence / structure-based strategy for large scale functional assignment of enzymes of unknown function.

File selection is done using arrow keys, the insert key is used to select files and the Function Keys perform operations such as renaming, editing and copying files.

Function expressions are specified in K using curly brackets.

Function overloading however is done at compile time using " name mangling " where the internal name of the function has the argument's type encoded in it.

" In 1938, using materials collected during her research tour of the Caribbean, Dunham submitted a thesis, " The Dances of Haiti: A Study of Their Material Aspect, Organization, Form, and Function ," to the Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a master's degree, but she never completed her course work or took examinations to qualify for the degree.

A Breakout Gateway Control Function ( BGCF ) is a SIP proxy which processes requests for routing from an S-CSCF when the S-CSCF has determined that the session cannot be routed using DNS or ENUM / DNS.
