Fruit
The term fruit has lots of different meanings depending on context. In botany, a fruit is the ripened ovary—jointly with seeds—of a flowering plant. In many species, the fruit includes the ripened ovary and the nearby tissues. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants disseminate seeds. In cuisine, when discussing fruit as food, the word generally refers to those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy, examples of which contain plums, apples and oranges. On the other hand, a great many common vegetables, also as nuts and grains, are the fruit of that plant species. No single terminology truly fits the enormous variety that is found along with plant fruits. The cuisine terminology for fruits is inexact and will stay so. The term false fruit (pseudocarp, accessory fruit) is sometimes applied to a fruit similar to the fig (a multiple-accessory fruit; see below) or to a plant structure that resembles a fruit but is not derived from a flower or flowers. Some gymnosperms, like yew, have fleshy arils that look like fruits and some junipers have berry-like, fleshy cones. The word "fruit" has also been inaccurately applied to the seed-containing female cones of many conifers.

Cooking
The variety of cooking universal is a reflection of the many nutritional, aesthetic, agricultural, cultural and religious considerations that crash upon it.
Cooking frequently requires applying heat to a food, which regularly, though not always, chemically transforms it, thus varying its flavor, texture, appearance, and nutritional properties. There is archaeological proof of roasted foodstuffs, both animal and vegetable, in human campsites dating from the initial known use of fire, some 800,000 years ago

Overloading in C++
Overloading is one kind of Polymorphism. It allows an object to have various meanings, depending on its context. When an exiting operator or function begins to function on new data type, or class, it is understood to be overloaded. If you denote more than one definition for a function name or an operator in the same scope, you have overloaded that function name or operator. Overloaded functions and operators are described in Overloading functions and Overloading operators correspondingly.

Climate
The climate is normally measured to be the weather averaged over an extended period of time, naturally 30 years. To some extent more correctly, the concept of "climate" as well includes the statistics of the weather — for example the degree of day-to-day or year-to-year variation expected. IPCC is called as Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Climate in a narrow sense is generally defined as the “average weather”, or more meticulously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of related quantities over a period of time range from months to thousands or millions of years. The customary period is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These quantities are the greater part often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, together with a numerical description, of the climate system.
