  2. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    In computer programming, an integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation on integers attempts to create a numeric value that is outside of the range that can be represented with a given number of digits – either higher than the maximum or lower than the minimum representable value. The most common result of an overflow is that the ...

  3. Help:Table/Advanced - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Advanced

    Using two columns like this does have the disadvantage that searching the web page (either with a browser or a search engine) will usually not be able to find text that straddles the column boundary. Also, if the table has cell spacing (and thus border-collapse=separate ), meaning that cells have separate borders with a gap in between, that gap ...

  4. Help:Advanced table formatting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Advanced_table_formatting

    If just 2 columns are being swapped within 1 table, then cut/paste editing (of those column entries) is typically faster than column-prefixing, sorting and de-prefixing. Another alternative is to copy the entire table from the displayed page, paste the text into a spreadsheet, move the columns as you will.

  5. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

    The salt and the password (or its version after key stretching) are concatenated and fed to a cryptographic hash function, and the output hash value is then stored with the salt in a database. The salt does not need to be encrypted, because knowing the salt would not help the attacker. [5]

  6. Ticket lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticket_lock

    The key point to note from the example is that the initial attempts by all four processors to acquire the lock results in only the first to arrive actually getting the lock. All subsequent attempts, while the first still holds the lock, serves to form the queue of processors waiting their turn in the critical section.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_calculator

    The comptometer, introduced in 1887, was the first machine to use a keyboard that consisted of columns of nine keys (from 1 to 9) for each digit. The Dalton adding machine, manufactured in 1902, was the first to have a 10 key keyboard. [9] Electric motors were used on some mechanical calculators from 1901. [10]

  8. Overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overflow

    Integer overflow, a condition that occurs when an integer calculation produces a result that is greater than what a given register can store or represent; Buffer overflow, a situation whereby the incoming data size exceeds that which can be accommodated by a buffer. Heap overflow, a type of buffer overflow that occurs in the heap data area

  9. Overflow flag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overflow_flag

    Overflow cannot occur when the sign of two addition operands are different (or the sign of two subtraction operands are the same). [1] When binary values are interpreted as unsigned numbers, the overflow flag is meaningless and normally ignored. One of the advantages of two's complement arithmetic is that the addition and subtraction operations ...
