Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems.It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and uses learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.
Daemon (computing) Components of some Linux desktop environments that are daemons include D-Bus, NetworkManager (here called unetwork ), PulseAudio ( usound ), and Avahi. In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon ( / ˈdiːmən / or / ˈdeɪmən /) [1] is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under ...
A default, in computer science, refers to the preexisting value of a user-configurable setting that is assigned to a software application, computer program or device. Such settings are also called presets or factory presets, especially for electronic devices. Default values are standards values that are universal to all instances of the device ...
Instance (computer science) When a computer system creates a new context based on a pre-existing model or scheme, the model is said to have been instantiated. The encapsulated context that results from this instantiation process is referred to as an instance of the model or scheme. This general concept applies specifically across computer ...
Statement (computer science) In computer programming, a statement is a syntactic unit of an imperative programming language that expresses some action to be carried out. [1] A program written in such a language is formed by a sequence of one or more statements. A statement may have internal components (e.g. expressions ).
Computer file. In computing, a computer file is a resource for recording data on a computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename. Just as words can be written on paper, so too can data be written to a computer file. Files can be shared with and transferred between computers and mobile devices via removable media, networks, or ...
The Internet (or internet) [a] is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) [b] to communicate between networks and devices. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of ...
TR-10 desktop analog computer of the late 1960s and early 1970s. An analog computer or analogue computer is a type of computer that uses the continuous variation aspect of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities ( analog signals) to model the problem being solved.
