eager evaluation
[ˈiːɡər ɪˌvæljuˈeɪʃən]
noun
avaliação ansiosa
1. In programming and computer science, a method of evaluating expressions where all arguments are computed immediately before being passed to a function, rather than waiting until their values are actually needed
Most programming languages use eager evaluation by default, computing all function arguments before the function is called.
A maioria das linguagens de programação utiliza avaliação ansiosa por padrão, computando todos os argumentos da função antes que ela seja chamada.
2. The opposite of lazy evaluation; a computational strategy that prioritizes immediate execution over deferred computation
Eager evaluation can be less efficient when dealing with infinite data structures compared to lazy evaluation.
A avaliação ansiosa pode ser menos eficiente ao lidar com estruturas de dados infinitas em comparação com a avaliação preguiçosa.
This is a specialized technical term primarily used in academic and professional programming contexts. It has no cultural variations between Brazil and the USA as it is part of universal computer science terminology. The term is most commonly encountered in computer science courses, functional programming discussions, and software engineering documentation.
