Wikipedia

  1. Direct mode

    In computing, direct or immediate mode in an interactive programming system is the immediate execution of commands, statements, or expressions. In many interactive systems, most of these can both be included in programs or executed directly in a read–eval–print loop (REPL). Most interactive systems also offer the possibility of defining programs in the REPL, either with explicit declarations, such as Python's def, or by labelling them with line numbers. Programs can then be run by calling a named or numbered procedure or by running a main program. Many programming systems, from Lisp and JOSS to Python and Perl have interactive REPLs which also allow defining programs. Most integrated development environments offer a direct mode where, during debugging and while the program execution is suspended, commands can be executed directly in the current scope and the result is displayed.

  1. Direct mode

    Direct mode, also known as immediate mode is a computing term referring to the input of textual commands outside the context of a program. The command would be executed immediately and the results printed on screen, in contrast to programming mode where nothing would be executed until a specific command was given Some commands could be used in either mode, while others were exclusive to one or the other. Direct mode was most often used on 8-bit systems such as the Commodore 64 and Atari 800 series, though commands entered at a unix shell can be thought of as direct mode equivalents to shell scripts, and modern interpreted languages like Python and Perl include REPL shells where commands may be entered for immediate evaluation and execution.
