Copy and paste programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (453 words) |
 | Copy and pasting is often done by inexperienced or student programmers, who find the act of writing code from scratch difficult and prefer to search for a pre-written solution or partial solution they can use as a basis for their own problem solving. |
 | Copy and pasting is also done by experienced programmers, who often have their own libraries of well tested, ready-to-use code snippets and generic algorithms that are easily adapted to specific tasks. |
 | Instead of making multiple, mutated copies of a generic algorithm, the algorithm should be written as a reusable class and should be written so flexibly that all new code can be interfaced to use this generic code directly, rather than mutate the original. |
| Paste (rheology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (228 words) |
 | In physics, a paste is a substance that behaves as a solid until a sufficiently large load or stress is applied, at which point it flows like a fluid. |
 | In rheoological terms a paste is an example of a Bingham Plastic fluid. |
 | Pastes typically consist of a suspension of small particles in a background fluid. |
