  2. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    In computer science, recursion is a method of solving a computational problem where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. [1] [2] Recursion solves such recursive problems by using functions that call themselves from within their own code. The approach can be applied to many types of problems, and recursion ...

  3. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    In computer science, a for-loop or for loop is a control flow statement for specifying iteration. Specifically, a for-loop functions by running a section of code repeatedly until a certain condition has been satisfied. For-loops have two parts: a header and a body. The header defines the iteration and the body is the code executed once per ...

  4. Factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial

    Daniel Bernoulli and Leonhard Euler interpolated the factorial function to a continuous function of complex numbers, except at the negative integers, the (offset) gamma function. Many other notable functions and number sequences are closely related to the factorials, including the binomial coefficients , double factorials , falling factorials ...

  5. Primitive recursive function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_recursive_function

    In computability theory, a primitive recursive function is, roughly speaking, a function that can be computed by a computer program whose loops are all "for" loops (that is, an upper bound of the number of iterations of every loop is fixed before entering the loop). Primitive recursive functions form a strict subset of those general recursive ...

  6. Memoization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization

    function factorial (n is a non-negative integer) if n is 0 then return 1 [by the convention that 0! = 1] else if n is in lookup-table then return lookup-table-value-for-n else let x = factorial(n – 1) times n [recursively invoke factorial with the parameter 1 less than n] store x in lookup-table in the n th slot [remember the result of n! for ...

  7. Factorion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorion

    Let be a natural number. For a base >, we define the sum of the factorials of the digits [5] [6] of , :, to be the following: ⁡ = =!. where = ⌊ ⁡ ⌋ + is the number of digits in the number in base , ! is the factorial of and

  8. Termination analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_analysis

    A method might look at how variables change with respect to some loop condition (possibly showing termination for that loop), other methods might try to transform the program's calculation to some mathematical construct and work on that, possibly getting information about the termination behaviour out of some properties of this mathematical model.

  9. Factorial number system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_number_system

    The factorial number system is sometimes defined with the 0! place omitted because it is always zero (sequence A007623 in the OEIS). In this article, a factorial number representation will be flagged by a subscript "!". In addition, some examples will have digits delimited by a colon. For example, 3:4:1:0:1:0! stands for
