Gastropoda \Gas*trop"o*da\, 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}.]
[1913 Webster]
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
Pulmonata and Opisthobranchia. ({c}) The Amphineura,
including the Polyplacophora and Aplacophora.

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,
peculiar to a particular nation.
[1913 Webster]
4. The characteristic mode of arranging words, peculiar to an
individual speaker or writer; manner of expression; style.
[1913 Webster]
Others for language all their care express. --Pope.
[1913 Webster]
5. The inarticulate sounds by which animals inferior to man
express their feelings or their wants.
[1913 Webster]
6. The suggestion, by objects, actions, or conditions, of
ideas associated therewith; as, the language of flowers.
[1913 Webster]
There was . . . language in their very gesture.
--Shak.
[1913 Webster]
7. The vocabulary and phraseology belonging to an art or
department of knowledge; as, medical language; the
language of chemistry or theology.

8. A race, as distinguished by its speech. [R.]
[1913 Webster]
All the people, the nations, and the languages, fell
down and worshiped the golden image. --Dan. iii. 7.
[1913 Webster]
9. Any system of symbols created for the purpose of
communicating ideas, emotions, commands, etc., between
sentient agents.
[PJC]
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.
[PJC]
{Language master}, a teacher of languages. [Obs.]
Syn: Speech; tongue; idiom; dialect; phraseology; diction;
discourse; conversation; talk.
Usage: {Language}, {Speech}, {Tongue}, {Idiom}, {Dialect}.
Language is generic, denoting, in its most extended
use, any mode of conveying ideas; speech is the
language of articulate sounds; tongue is the
Anglo-Saxon term for language, esp. for spoken
language; as, the English tongue. Idiom denotes the
forms of construction peculiar to a particular
language; dialects are varieties of expression which
spring up in different parts of a country among people
speaking substantially the same language.

to the earth, in consequence of which narrow portions at
opposite limbs become visible or invisible alternately. It
receives different names according to the manner in which
it takes place; as: {(a)} Libration in longitude, that
which, depending on the place of the moon in its elliptic
orbit, causes small portions near the eastern and western
borders alternately to appear and disappear each month.
({b}) Libration in latitude, that which depends on the
varying position of the moon's axis in respect to the

C \C\ (s[=e])
1. C is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from
the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the
sounds of k, and g (in go); its original value being the
latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the
Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of k. The Latin C
was the same letter as the Greek [Gamma], [gamma], and
came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the
Ph[oe]nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin
name ce, and was derived, probably, through the French.
Etymologically C is related to g, h, k, q, s (and other
sibilant sounds). Examples of these relations are in L.
acutus, E. acute, ague; E. acrid, eager, vinegar; L.
cornu, E. horn; E. cat, kitten; E. coy, quiet; L. circare,
OF. cerchier, E. search.

C++ /C'-pluhs-pluhs/ n. Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup of AT&T 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
hackers' heads. Much of the {cruft} results from C++'s attempt to be
backward compatible with C. Stroustrup himself has said in his
retrospective book "The Design and Evolution of C++" (p. 207), "Within
C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get
out." [Many hackers would now add "Yes, and it's called {Java}" --ESR]

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 {AT&T} {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

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."

{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},

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}.
