How do you use transient?

Answer 1

The adjective 'transient', meaning (someone or something) existing or happening, or being in a particular place, for just a short time before passing on to something or somewhere else, or disappearing, could be used this way:

'During the construction project we will need to find accommodation for the transient laborers who'll no longer be needed when the work is completed.'

'The beauty of a rose is transient, but none the less beautiful for its brief appearance.'

The noun 'transient' describes a person or thing staying for only a short time, a person without a permanent home or job. It could be used like this:

'He is a transient; he works briefly at whichever branch of the corporation needs his skills at the time.'

'We don't have a permanent address for her; she is a transient.'

Answer 2

To use transients in programming, you can store and retrieve temporary data that can be cached for a specific period of time. This can help to improve performance by reducing the need to repeatedly fetch or process the same data. You can set a transient, retrieve its value, and check if it exists before fetching new data.
