What is the slang for "to map"?

Question

IT terminology

Would love to know what that means :)

Answer 1

This is an anglicism synonym for the word "display". But usually refers to the meaning of "mapping values".
This usually means "map context A to context B". The result of the mapping is a set of value mappings.
This is a very high-level and generalized concept.
But it denotes the direct process of constructing mappings using only values ​​and correspondences.
Anglicism is used because the whole programming process consists of mappings, this word is so overloaded that it is simply useless.
Translation is the process of transferring from one context with its own terminology to another context with its own terminology. If information in one context is encoded by a certain set of characters, then in the process of translation an abstract syntax tree will be built for context A, then it will be displayed according to some rules in the ASD for context B, according to which
a new form of displaying information will be constructed, but in terms of context B.
If instead of translation we perform "mapping", then we have information in context A will be broken into pieces, information in context B will be broken into pieces, and mapping will give us a set of arrows like piece A -> piece B.
Mapping is always about values. Keyboard code values ​​for symbols or functions, enums and all tasks where you use key-value storage, etc. etc.

Answer 2

from English. verb to map - display , compare (by analogy with how a geographical map displays the area). In the Russian-speaking IT context, "connect" fits the meaning, but if you understand meticulously, then I would say " bind ", so as not to be confused with another semantic meaning of "connect" (for example, connect telephony subscribers).

Answer 3

tie something.
For example, a key with a value, a drive letter with a specific device, a hotkey for some action.
