ADT
Definition
ADT (Abstract Data Type): In computer science, a mathematical model for data types defined by its behavior (semantics) from the user's perspective, without specifying how it's implemented—because who needs to peek under the hood when you can just use it?
ADT: A leading U.S. provider of home security and automation systems, specializing in alarms that scream louder than your neighbor's karaoke night.
Informal abbreviation or typo variant for 'ad' (advertisement), often spotted in the wilds of texting or hasty typing.
Examples
After implementing an ADT for my shopping list, I finally stopped buying duplicates of that regretful impulse kale smoothie blender.
My ADT system is so sensitive, it once alerted the cops to my cat plotting a midnight fridge heist.
Programmers love ADTs because they let you abstract away the chaos, much like pretending your code doesn't have bugs.
I skipped the adt in the email—wait, was that a security alert or just another pyramid scheme?
