Encyclopedia: Side effect (computer science)

In computer science, a function or expression is said to produce a side effect if it modifies some state in addition to its return value. For example, a function might modify a global or a static variable, modify one of its arguments, write data to a display or file, or read some data from other side-effecting functions. Side effects often make a program's behavior more difficult to predict.
