globalize USA date May 2010 Blockprogramming is a strategy of television and radio programmers. Blockprogramming occurs when the television network schedules similar programs back to back. The concept is to provide similar programming to keep the viewers. Radio stations use it consistently they program the same type of music for long periods of time. A notable example of blockprogramming was NBC s Must See TV Must See TV Thursday evening, which included 2 hours of sitcoms and 1 hour of ER TV series ER , Channel 4 s T4 program which often ran sitcoms like Friends back to back for an hour or more.. Blockprogramming in radio also refers to programming content that appeals to various demographics in time blocks, usually corresponding to the top or bottom of the hour or the quarters. For example various musical genres might be featured a country music hour a 3 hour afternoon of jazz or a 4 hour Saturday night 70 s disco show. Generally speaking blockprogramming is anathema to modern competitive commercial radio. It is counter to the brand maxim to be one thing and is confusing to listeners. Therefore most music based stations will generally stick with one genre or sub genre of music. Blockprogramming of this nature is alive and well on outlets like public radio NPR, BBC, CBC and in multicultural radio serving broad ethnic and cultural audiences. Notable television program blocks Popular television program blocks include Nick at Nite Nick Jr. block Nick Jr. TEENick block TEENick ... , which was once a program block on Cartoon Network .

CRUNCH a Saturday morning programmingblock dedicated to animation on the Canadian television channel YTV Canadian TV channel YTV . CRUNCH premiered on September 9, 2006, replacing The Zone Summer Weekends hosted by Sugar and Carlos and Vortex hosted by Paula. From its beginning until mid September 2008 it was hosted by Ajay. Starting October 4, 2008 Andy not to be confused with Andy from Prank Patrol is the host. The theme of the new Blockprogrammingprogrammingblock is a new holiday called day 6 where there is no homework, chores or hobbies, such as music classes which could interrupt a kid s day during the hours of 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. the hours that the CRUNCH programmingblock airs . YTV promoted the new programmingblock by inviting kids to download a kit which included door hangers informing others that day 6 was on and no chores and homework were being completed. There were also flyers which contained many of the programmingblock s slogans and a large notebook poster. The hosted portions of CRUNCH were different than other programming blocks. Rather than having a host talk for 5 minutes after a show, it s divided into two parts one during the second commercial break, and one during the credits. Crunch also uses special on screen bugs.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In computer programming , the term directive is applied in a variety of ways that are similar to the term command . It is also used to describe some programming language constructs e.g. those specifying how a compiler or assembly language assembler should process its input . To distinguish a directive from a command or statement, a directive may involve a pre or post processing command or macro. Its second use involves a statement that affects local or more global options or that applies to a block of programming code but by itself does not perform any action. This term could be used to refer to proprietary third party tags and commands or markup embedded in code or comments that result in additional executable processing that extend the existent compiler, assembler and language constructs present in the development environment. Assembly language In assembly language , directives generally specify such information as the target platform, mark the separations between sections, and so on. For instance, the commonly seen directive ALIGN , which inserts in the current section as many byte s as needed to preserve word alignment, is generally referred to as a directive , despite the fact that it does correspond to a particular construct in the generated code.

A programming idiom is a means of expressing a recurring construct in one or more programming language s. Generally speaking, a programming idiom is an expression of a simple task or algorithm that is not a built in feature in the programming language being used, or, conversely, the use of an unusual or notable feature that is built in to a programming language. The term can be used more broadly, however, to refer to complex algorithms or programming design pattern computer science design patterns . Knowing the idioms associated with a programming language and how to use them is an important part of gaining fluency in that language. Examples of Simple Idioms Incrementing a counter In a language like BASIC , the code to increment a counter by one is mundane code i i 1 code The C programming language C language , and many others derived from it, have language specific features that make this code shorter code language C i 1 i i 1 i same result i same result code small There is a difference between the first two expressions, which yield the new version of code i code , and the third, which yields the old version of code i code .

In aspect oriented programming aspect and functional programming , advice describes a class of Function computer science functions which modify other functions when the latter are run it is a certain function, method or procedure that is to be applied at a given join point of a program. The following is taken from a discussion at the mailing list http aosd.net pipermail discuss aosd.net 2004 November 001173.html aosd discuss . Pascal Costanza contributed the following The term advice goes back to the term advising as introduced by Warren Teitelman in his PhD thesis in 1966. Here is a quote from Chapter 3 of his thesis Advising is the basic innovation in the model, and in the PILOT system. Advising consists of inserting new procedures at any or all of the entry or exit points to a particular procedure or class of procedures . The procedures inserted are called advice procedures or simply advice . Since each piece of advice is itself a procedure, it has its own entries and exits. In particular, this means that the execution of advice can cause the procedure that it modifies to be bypassed completely, e.g., by specifying as an exit from the advice one of the exits from the original procedure or the advice may change essential variables and continue with the computation so that the original procedure is executed, but with modified variables. Finally, the advice may not alter the execution or affect the original procedure at all, e.g., it may merely perform some additional computation ... as a unit , a single block, and make changes to it without concern for the particulars of this block ... .
