What do you call a “slot” object?

What is a slot and what is a slot?

“Slot” on Wikipedia is: A narrow depression, perforation,

or aperture; especially, one for the reception of a piece fitting or sliding in it.

I’m using concepts

in a software I’m trying to write. And putting them in writing. I want my students to learn these concepts. “Do you have experience writing algorithms? Why or why not?” How do I better explain to an end user the end result? My final project involved drawing wooden wooden boxes with an open top, called slots, with corresponding objects that go in these slots on a one-to-one basis. If there were many objects available per slots, why each would only fit in one slot at a time?

I already am a programmer and I will give some ideas to the programmer: Interested to learn programming?

A common generic term for a member of a collection of items is element. Alternatively, if your collection is accessed by arbitrary key, e.g. IP, IEC and SHA1 then the collection is being stored and not viewed. a “hash table”, “map”, “associative array” or “dictionary”, you might use the more specific term value (part of a key/value pair or entry ).

Also note that the specific term slot is often used academically when discussing the classic “hash table” data structure; this may be confusing to other programmers if your data structure behaviors are different. I realize you’re more looking for a term for end-users, but it’s important to be clear to other coders as well.

The c++ library from Nokia has the concept that slots can be created in. What are the signs, and their equivalents? Can signals be connected to slots and indicate some form of communication, e.g. Is a button being pressed create a signal that reaches a slot in order to perform some

action?
