Comprehension may refer to:

• Comprehension (logic), the totality of intensions, that is, properties or qualities, that an object possesses
• Comprehension approach, several methodologies of language learning that emphasize understanding language rather than speaking
• List comprehension, an adaptation of mathematical set notation to represent infinite lists in computer science
• Reading comprehension, a measurement of the understanding of a passage of text

Reading comprehension [阅读理解] is the ability to process text, understand its meaning, and to integrate with what the reader already knows. Fundamental skills required in efficient reading comprehension are knowing meaning of words, ability to understand meaning of a word from discourse context, ability to follow organization of passage and to identify antecedents and references in it, ability to draw inferences from a passage about its contents, ability to identify the main thought of a passage, ability to answer questions answered in a passage, ability to recognize the literary devices or propositional structures used in a passage and determine its tone, to understand the situational mood (agents, objects, temporal and spatial reference points, casual and intentional inflections, etc.) conveyed for assertions, questioning, commanding, refraining etc. and finally ability to determine writer's purpose, intent and point of view, and draw inferences about the writer (discourse [语段]-semantics [语义]). For machine reading comprehension, search natural language understanding.

A list comprehension is a syntactic construct available in some programming languages for creating a list based on existing lists. It follows the form of the mathematical set-builder notation (set comprehension) as distinct from the use of map and filter functions.

This is an example in set-builder notation: S = {x : x > 3} 集合的表示方法

The SETL programming language (1969) has a set formation construct which is similar to list comprehensions:

print([n in [2..N] | forall m in {2..n - 1} | n mod m > 0]);

The first use of the term "comprehension" for such constructs was in Rod Burstall and John Darlington's description of their functional programming language NPL from 1977. 

# list, set, and dictionary comprehension in Python:
>>>x = [i for i in '0123456789' if i > '3']; x
['4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
>>>s = {v for v in 'ABCDABCD' if v not in 'CB'}; s
{'A', 'D'}
>>>s = {key: val for key, val in enumerate('ABCD') if val not in 'CB'}; s
{0: 'A', 3: 'D'}
# The enumerate object yields pairs containing a count and a value yielded by the iterable argument.
