  2. Ternary conditional operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator

    The detailed semantics of "the" ternary operator as well as its syntax differs significantly from language to language. A top level distinction from one language to another is whether the expressions permit side effects (as in most procedural languages) and whether the language provides short-circuit evaluation semantics, whereby only the selected expression is evaluated (most standard ...

  3. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    the use of 2 to check whether a number is even or odd, as in isEven = (x % 2 == 0), where % is the modulo operator; the use of simple arithmetic constants, e.g., in expressions such as circumference = 2 * Math.PI * radius, [1] or for calculating the discriminant of a quadratic equation as d = b^2 − 4*a*c

  4. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The number is taken to be 'odd' or 'even' according to whether its numerator is odd or even. Then the formula for the map is exactly the same as when the domain is the integers: an 'even' such rational is divided by 2; an 'odd' such rational is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added.

  5. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    For example, to test if an integer is odd, one might be inclined to test if the remainder by 2 is equal to 1: bool is_odd ( int n ) { return n % 2 == 1 ; } But in a language where modulo has the sign of the dividend, that is incorrect, because when n (the dividend) is negative and odd, n mod 2 returns −1, and the function returns false.

  6. Conditional (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_(computer...

    A nested if–then–else flow diagram. In computer science, conditionals (that is, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructs) are programming language constructs that perform different computations or actions or return different values depending on the value of a Boolean expression, called a condition.

  7. Min-max heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-max_heap

    A min-max heap is a complete binary treecontaining alternating min(or even) and max(or odd) levels. Even levels are for example 0, 2, 4, etc, and odd levels are respectively 1, 3, 5, etc. We assume in the next points that the root element is at the first level, i.e., 0. Example of Min-max heap.

  8. Parity bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit

    Accordingly, there are two variants of parity bits: even parity bit and odd parity bit. In the case of even parity, for a given set of bits, the bits whose value is 1 are counted. If that count is odd, the parity bit value is set to 1, making the total count of occurrences of 1s in the whole set (including the parity bit) an even number.

  9. Cyclic redundancy check - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

    A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to digital data. [ 1 ][ 2 ] Blocks of data entering these systems get a short check value attached, based on the remainder of a polynomial division of their contents.
