Data Sink
In computing, a sink, or data sink generally refers to the destination of data flow. The word sink has multiple uses in computing. In software engineering, an event sink is a class or function that receives events from another object or function, while a sink can also refer to a node of a directed acyclic graph with no additional nodes leading out from it, among other uses. In software engineering An event sink is a class (computer science), class or function (computing), function designed to receive incoming Event (computing), events from another object (computer science), object or function. This is commonly implemented in C++ as callback (computer science), callbacks. Other Object-oriented programming, object-oriented languages, such as Java (programming language), Java and C Sharp (programming language), C#, have built-in support for sinks by allowing events to be fired to Delegation (programming), delegate functions. Due to lack of formal definition, a sink is often misco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Computing
Computing is any goal-oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating computer, computing machinery. It includes the study and experimentation of algorithmic processes, and the development of both computer hardware, hardware and software. Computing has scientific, engineering, mathematical, technological, and social aspects. Major computing disciplines include computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, data science, information systems, information technology, and software engineering. The term ''computing'' is also synonymous with counting and calculation, calculating. In earlier times, it was used in reference to the action performed by Mechanical computer, mechanical computing machines, and before that, to Computer (occupation), human computers. History The history of computing is longer than the history of computing hardware and includes the history of methods intended for pen and paper (or for chalk and slate) with or without the aid of tables. ...
