Chunklet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the magazine, see Chunklet (magazine).
Chunklet is a programming term for the contents of code wrapped by a conditional statement.
Example of a chunklet in Perl:
if ($x == 10) {
print "The value of x is 10.\n";
}
The above chunklet could be referred by "The x equals 10 chunklet".
Example of a chunklet in XSL:
<xsl:if test="/node/x='10'"> The value of node child x is 10. </xsl:if>
Again, the above XSL chunklet can be referred to in the same manner.
[edit] Embedded Chunklets
Sometimes you will find a chunk of logic (or chunklet) within a larger chunklet. This would be referred to as an Embeded Chunklet. Below is an example of an embedded chunklet within a for loop.
for ($x = 0; $x < $intCounter; $x++) {
if ($x == 10) {
print "The value of x is 10.\n";
}
}
In the above example, the embedded chunklet would be referred by "The x equals 10 chunklet". This embedded chunklet is within the "for x to intCounter" chunklet.
