lookup

n. search, act of instance of looking up information (i.e. in a dictionary or database)

In computing, lookup usually refers to searching the internal and specially crafted database for an item that satisfies some specified property. For example, variable lookup performed by a (scripting) language interpreter, virtual machine or other similar engine usually consists of performing certain actions to dynamically find correspondence between variable identifier and actual variable internal representation, usually involving symbol table lookup. Symbol table lookup can be performed either during run-time (interpreter or scripting engine), or during compile time (compiler). Hybrid scheme when lookup is performed both during translation phase and then later during runtime is also possible (e.g. bytecode compiler and virtual machine). In all of these cases, search item is a variable and search property (or search criteria) is a variable name. Variable lookup is usually performed according to variable visibility rules that are specific to the (scripting) language in question.
