What Does HOL Stand For?
HOL stands for Higher Order Language
HOL, or Higher Order Language, refers to a class of programming languages that supports higher-order programming, allowing functions to be treated as first-class citizens. This means that functions can be passed as arguments, returned from other functions, and assigned to variables. Higher Order Languages facilitate advanced programming paradigms, including functional and imperative programming, enabling more abstract and modular code development. Examples of HOLs include Lisp, Haskell, and ML, which empower developers to write expressive and flexible algorithms.
