(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Initialization allows a variable to be defined as "equal" to something. Below is an example of a C++ function which declares an integer variable, x; this is followed by an example where the variable has been initialized to equal seven, x = 7:
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In a simultaneous declaration, each player must declare his intent at the same time, without knowing what any of his opponents intend. This is often done by taking chips under the table, hiding them in one's hand, and then all players opening their hands at once after everyone has chosen. For example, no chips in hand means that the player declares "high", one chip means "low" and two chips means "swing". In a consecutive declaration, each player verbally declares in turn, and later players can therefore use that information to make their decision.
The usual rule in split-pot games with a declaration is that half of the pot is awarded to the highest hand among those who declared "high", and half is awarded to the lowest hand among those who declared "low". If no player declared in one direction, then that half is awarded in the other. That is, if all players declared low and no player declared high, then the low hand wins the whole pot instead of just half. If a player declares "swing", he must have both the highest hand and the lowest hand clearly, with no losses or ties in either direction, to win the whole pot, otherwise he wins nothing (even if he would otherwise have won half). This rule (or one like it--sometimes a "swing" hand that ties for best in one direction and wins clearly in the other may still be allowed the winning half) is necessary to prevent all players from simply declaring "swing" every time.
Another use of the term "declaration" is the act of declaring how many cards a player intends to draw in a draw poker game. It is common for all players to declare their draw intentions before any actual cards are dealt, after which all replacements are dealt at once. This protects the players against marked or accidentally exposed cards.
Other uses include declaring the intended amount of a bet or raise ("A verbal declaration in turn is binding" is a common rule in casinos), declaring the value of a hand upon showdown and declaring how one chooses to receive a card in a choose-before Roll your own game. The rules of each of these games may specify how a player is held accountable for these declarations.
Computer Science
In computer science, a declaration specifies a variable's dimensions, identifier, type, and other aspects. The declaration, and any related initializer, forms the definition; usually, the declaration and definition are the same thing. Definitions reserve memory. Definitions and declarations can also be used for subroutines (functions); where, they are sometimes referred to as "prototypes". Once again, in some cases the definition and the prototype are the same thing.

Begun in 1769 for Samuel Chase, a young lawyer and future signer of the Declaration of Independence, the mansion passed unfinished two years later into the hands of the wealthy plantation owner Edward Lloyd IV. Lloyd hired the renowned English architect and master builder William Buckland to complete the mansion. The elaborate carved details, including the windows, cornices, and doorways, are by Buckland.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | INTRODUCTION, n. A social ceremony invented by the devil for the gratification of his servants and the plaguing of his enemies. The introduction attains its most malevolent development in this century, being, indeed, closely related to our political system. Every American being the equal of every other American, it follows that everybody has the right to know everybody else, which implies the right to introduce without request or permission. The Declaration of Independence should have read thus: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, and the right to make that of another miserable by thrusting upon him an incalculable quantity of acquaintances; liberty, particularly the liberty to introduce persons to one another without first ascertaining if they are not already acquainted as enemies; and the pursuit of another's happiness with a running pack of strangers." |
