gastropoda \gastrop"oda\, n. pl., nl., fr. gr. ?, ?, stomach
   + -poda. zool.
   one of the classes of mollusca, of great extent. it includes
   most of the marine spiral shells, and the land and
   fresh-water snails. they generally creep by means of a flat,
   muscular disk, or foot, on the ventral side of the body. the
   head usually bears one or two pairs of tentacles. see
   mollusca. written also gasteropoda.

   note: the gastropoda are divided into three subclasses; viz.:
         a the streptoneura or dioecia, including the
         pectinibranchiata, rhipidoglossa, docoglossa, and
         heteropoda. b the euthyneura, including the

language \lan"guage\, n. oe. langage, f. langage, fr. l. lingua
   the tongue, hence speech, language; akin to e. tongue. see
   tongue, cf. lingual.
   1913 webster
   1. any means of conveying or communicating ideas;
      specifically, human speech; the expression of ideas by the
      voice; sounds, expressive of thought, articulated by the
      organs of the throat and mouth.
      1913 webster

   note: language consists in the oral utterance of sounds which
         usage has made the representatives of ideas. when two
         or more persons customarily annex the same sounds to
         the same ideas, the expression of these sounds by one
         person communicates his ideas to another. this is the
         primary sense of language, the use of which is to
         communicate the thoughts of one person to another
         through the organs of hearing. articulate sounds are
         represented to the eye by letters, marks, or
         characters, which form words.
         1913 webster

   2. the expression of ideas by writing, or any other
      instrumentality.
      1913 webster

   3. the forms of speech, or the methods of expressing ideas,

   10. specifically: computers any set of symbols and the
       rules for combining them which are used to specify to a
       computer the actions that it is to take; also referred to
       as a computer lanugage or programming language; as,
       java is a new and flexible high-level language which has
       achieved popularity very rapidly.
       pjc

   note: computer languages are classed a low-level if each
         instruction specifies only one operation of the
         computer, or high-level if each instruction may specify
         a complex combination of operations. machine language
         and assembly language are low-level computer
         languages. fortran, cobol and c are high-level
         computer languages. other computer languages, such as
         java, allow even more complex combinations of low-level
         operations to be performed with a single command. many
         programs, such as databases, are supplied with special
         languages adapted to manipulate the objects of concern
         for that specific program. these are also high-level
         languages.

      was the same letter as the greek gamma, gamma, and
      came from the greek alphabet. the greeks got it from the
      phoenicians. the english name of c is from the latin
      name ce, and was derived, probably, through the french.

c++ /c'-pluhs-pluhs/ n. designed by bjarne stroustrup of att bell labs
   as a successor to c. now one of the languages of choice, although
   many hackers still grumble that it is the successor to either algol 68
   or ada depending on generation, and a prime example of
   second-system effect. almost anything that can be done in any language
   can be done in c++, but it requires a language lawyer to know what is
   and what is not legal-- the design is _almost_ too large to hold in even

c n. 1. the third letter of the english alphabet. 2. ascii 1000011. 3.
   the name of a programming language designed by dennis ritchie during the
   early 1970s and immediately used to reimplement unix; so called
   because many features derived from an earlier compiler named `b' in
   commemoration of _its_ parent, bcpl. bcpl was in turn descended from an
   earlier algol-derived language, cpl. before bjarne stroustrup settled
   the question by designing c++, there was a humorous debate over
   whether c's successor should be named `d' or `p'. c became immensely
   popular outside bell labs after about 1980 and is now the dominant
   language in systems and microcomputer applications programming. see also
   languages of choice, indent style.

   c is often described, with a mixture of fondness and disdain varying
   according to the speaker, as "a language that combines all the elegance
   and power of assembly language with all the readability and
   maintainability of assembly language".

c
     
         a programming language designed by dennis ritchie
        at att bell labs ca. 1972 for systems programming on the
        pdp-11 and immediately used to reimplement unix.
     
        it was called "c" because many features derived from an
        earlier compiler named "b".  in fact, c was briefly named
        "nb".  b was itself strongly influenced by bcpl.  before
        bjarne stroustrup settled the question by designing c++,
        there was a humorous debate over whether c's successor should
        be named "d" or "p" following b and c in "bcpl".
     
        c is terse, low-level and permissive.  it has a macro
        preprocessor, cpp.
     
        partly due to its distribution with unix, c became immensely
        popular outside bell labs after about 1980 and is now the
        dominant language in systems and microcomputer applications
        programming.  it has grown popular due to its simplicity,
        efficiency, and flexibility.  c programs are often easily
        adapted to new environments.
     
        c is often described, with a mixture of fondness and disdain,
        as "a language that combines all the elegance and power of
        assembly language with all the readability and
        maintainability of assembly language".
     
        ritchie's original c, known as kr c after kernighan and
        ritchie's book, has been standardised and simultaneously
        modified as ansi c.

c+-
     
         c more or less a subject-oriented language sol.
        each c+- class instance, known as a subject, holds hidden
        members, known as prejudices, agendas or undeclared
        preferences, which are impervious to outside messages; as well
        as public members, known as boasts or claims.
     
        the following c operators are overridden as shown:
     
         >    better than
         <    worse than
         >>   way better than
         <<   forget it
             not on your life
         ==   comparable, other things being equal
         ==  get a life, guy
     
        c+- is strongly typed, based on stereotyping and
        self-righteous logic.  the boolean variables true and
        false known as constants in other, less realistic languages
        are supplemented with credible and dubious, which are fuzzier
        than zadeh's traditional fuzzy categories.  all booleans can
        be declared with the modifiers strong and weak.  weak
        implication is said to "preserve deniability" and was added at
        the request of the dod to ensure compatibility with future
        versions of ada.  well-formed falsehoods wffs are
        assignment-compatible with all booleans.  what-if and
        why-not interactions are aided by the special conditional
        evenifnot x then y.
     
        c+- supports information hiding and, among friend classes
        only, rumor sharing.  borrowing from the eiffel lexicon,
        non-friend classes can be killed by arranging contracts.  note
        that friendships are intransitive, volatile and
        non-abelian.
     
        operator precedence rules can be suspended with the
        directive pragma dwim, known as the "do what i mean"
        pragma.
     
        ansification will be firmly resisted. c+-'s slogan is "be
        your own standard."

c++
     
         one of the most used object-oriented languages, a
        superset of c developed primarily by bjarne stroustrup
         at att bell laboratories in 1986.
     
        in c++ a class is a user-defined type, syntactically a
        struct with member functions.  constructors and
        destructors are member functions called to create or destroy
        instances.  a friend is a nonmember function that is
        allowed to access the private portion of a class.  c++ allows
        implicit type conversion, function inlining, overloading
        of operators and function names, and default function
        arguments.  it has streams for i/o and references.
     
        c++ 2.0 may 1989 introduced multiple inheritance,
        type-safe linkage, pointers to members, and abstract
        classes.
     
        c++ 2.1 was introduced in "annotated c++ reference manual",
        b. stroustrup et al, a-w 1990.

c+@
     
        formerly calico.  an object-oriented language from bell
        laboratories which uniformly represents all data as a pointer
        to a self-described object.  c+@ provides multiple
        inheritance with delegation and with control over which
        methods come from which delegated object; and default
        methodologies.  it has a simple syntax with emphasis on
        graphics.  it was originally used for prototyping of
        telecommunication services.
     
        unir tech has the exclusive license from bell labs to
        distribute c+@.  unfortunately unir is owned and operated by
        well-known anti-ietf ranter, jim fleming, which may have had
        something to do with the language's rapid disappearence from
        the radar screen.
     
        it runs under sunos and compiles to vcode.
