Learn to Code. "Learn to Code" was a slogan and a series of public influence campaigns during the 2010s that encouraged the development of computer programming skills in an economy increasingly centered on information technology. The campaigns led to endorsements from politicians, the inclusion of programming in state school curricula and the ...
A "Hello, World!" program is generally a simple computer program which emits (or displays) to the screen (often the console) a message similar to "Hello, World!" while ignoring any user input. A small piece of code in most general-purpose programming languages, this program is used to illustrate a language's basic syntax.

LOLCODE. LOLCODE is an esoteric programming language inspired by lolspeak, the language expressed in examples of the lolcat Internet meme. [ 1] The language was created in 2007 by Adam Lindsay, a researcher at the Computing Department of Lancaster University. [ 2][ 3] The language is not clearly defined in terms of operator priorities and ...
Esoteric programming language. An esoteric programming language (sometimes shortened to esolang) is a programming language designed to test the boundaries of computer programming language design, as a proof of concept, as software art, as a hacking interface to another language (particularly functional programming or procedural programming ...
The term copypasta is derived from the computer interface term "copy and paste", [ 1] the act of selecting a piece of text and copying it elsewhere. Usage of the word can be traced back to an anonymous 4chan thread from 2006, [ 2][ 3] and Merriam-Webster record it appearing on Usenet and Urban Dictionary for the first time that year. [ 1]

", is an Internet meme that became popular in 2006, involving a change made for English localizations of an episode of the Dragon Ball Z anime television series titled "The ...
A memetic algorithm (MA) in computer science and operations research, is an extension of the traditional genetic algorithm (GA) or more general evolutionary algorithm (EA). It may provide a sufficiently good solution to an optimization problem. It uses a suitable heuristic or local search technique to improve the quality of solutions generated ...
