What Does Computational Reflection Mean?
Computational reflection is the ability of a program to modify itself while running. The source code of the program is treated as data by itself os that appropriate modifications can be made by the program during runtime. Programs capable of modifying their own source code, or the source code of some other program, during runtime are called metaprograms. Computational reflection allows the programmer to save time implementing some parts of the program, which are generated by the program itself at runtime.
