comprehensions
Acts of grasping meaning
Comprehensions are acts or instances of understanding, or the capacity for understanding: reading comprehension, beyond my comprehension.
In programming, comprehensions are concise syntax for generating lists, sets, or dictionaries by iterating and filtering: list comprehensions in Python.
The programming sense borrows from the logical meaning—a comprehension grasps or contains all elements meeting certain criteria.
