I am scheduled for (Hopefully) Mitral Valve repair surgery in September to repair both the posterior and anterior leaflets. There is some risk that a repair cannot be accomplished and a mechanical valve will be inserted. I am a 45 year old male in excellent physical condition otherwise. Questions:
Polymorphism is an object-oriented programming concept that refers to the ability of a variable, function or object to take on multiple forms. A language that features polymorphism allows developers to program in the general rather than program in the specific.
In computer science, and in particular functional programming, a hylomorphism is a recursive function, corresponding to the composition of an anamorphism followed by a catamorphism. Fusion of these two recursive computations into a single recursive pattern then avoids building the intermediate data structure. This is an example of deforestation, a program optimization strategy. A related type of function is a metamorphism, which is a catamorphism followed by an anamorphism.
