Construct  may refer to:

• Construct (information technology), a collection of logic components forming an interactive agent or environment. In computing, a user agent is any software, acting on behalf of a user, which "retrieves, renders and facilitates end-user interaction with Web content". A user agent is therefore a special kind of software agent. 网页浏览器
• Language construct
• DNA construct, a segment of nucleic acid [核酸], created artificially, for transplantation into a target cell or tissue [组织]
• Social construct, the meaning placed on an object or event by a society, and adopted by its inhabitants
• Construct (psychology), a label used in behavioural sciences for a domain of behaviors ((also called universes of behaviors)
• a term used in the philosophy of artificial intelligence

A language construct is a syntactically allowable part of a program that may be formed from one or more lexical tokens in accordance with the rules of a programming language. The term "language construct" is often used as a synonym for control structure. Control flow statements (such as conditionals, foreach loops, while loops, etc) are language constructs, not functions. So while (true) is a language construct, while add(10) is a function call.

A DNA construct is an artificially-designed segment of DNA borne on a vector [媒介生物] that can be used to incorporate genetic material into a target tissue or cell. These elements can be as small as a few thousand base pairs (kbp) of DNA carrying a single gene, or as large as hundreds of kbp for large-scale genomic studies. A DNA construct contains a DNA insert, called a transgene, delivered via a transformation vector which allows the insert sequence to be replicated and/or expressed in the target cell. DNA constructs are widely adapted [应为adopted?] in molecular biology research for techniques such as DNA sequencing, protein expression, and RNA studies.

The philosophy of artificial intelligence is a branch of the philosophy of technology. The philosophy of artificial intelligence attempts to answer such questions as follows:

• Can a machine act intelligently? Can it solve any problem that a person would solve by thinking?
• Are human intelligence and machine intelligence the same? Is the human brain essentially a computer?
• Can a machine have a mind, mental states, and consciousness in the same sense that a human being can? Can it feel how things are?

The philosophy of technology is a sub-field of philosophy that studies the nature of technology and its social effects. Philosophical discussion of questions relating to technology (or its Greek ancestor techne) dates back to the very dawn of Western philosophy. The phrase "philosophy of technology" was first used in the late 19th century by German-born philosopher and geographer Ernst Kapp,

Construction is a general term meaning the art and science to form objects, systems, or organizations. In its most widely used context, construction covers the processes involved in delivering buildings, infrastructure and industrial facilities, and associated activities through to the end of their life. It typically starts with planning, financing, and design, and continues until the asset is built and ready for use; construction also covers repairs and maintenance work, any works to expand, extend and improve the asset, and its eventual demolition, dismantling or decommissioning. As an industry, construction accounts for more than 10% of global GDP (6-9% in developed countries) and employs around 7% of the global workforce - over 273m people. The output of the global construction industry was worth an estimated $10.8 trillion in 2017.

ctor stands for constructor (C++). In class-based object-oriented programming, a constructor is a special type of subroutine called to create an object. It prepares the new object for use, often accepting arguments that the constructor uses to set required member variables.
