3. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
strict
A function f is strict in an argument if
f bottom = bottom
(See bottom). In other words, the result depends on the
argument so evaluation of an application of the function
cannot terminate until evaluation of the argument has
terminated.
If the result is only bottom when the argument is bottom
then the function is also bottom-unique.
See also strict evaluation, hyperstrict.
