  2. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    For-loops can be thought of as shorthands for while-loops which increment and test a loop variable. Various keywords are used to indicate the usage of a for loop: descendants of ALGOL use "for", while descendants of Fortran use "do". There are other possibilities, for example COBOL which uses PERFORM VARYING. The name for-loop comes from the ...

    MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory" [22]) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks.MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.

  5. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    A loop is a sequence of statements which is specified once but which may be carried out several times in succession. The code "inside" the loop (the body of the loop, shown below as xxx) is obeyed a specified number of times, or once for each of a collection of items, or until some condition is met, or indefinitely. When one of those items is ...

  6. Generator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, a generator is a routine that can be used to control the iteration behaviour of a loop.All generators are also iterators. [1] A generator is very similar to a function that returns an array, in that a generator has parameters, can be called, and generates a sequence of values.

  7. Stride of an array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stride_of_an_array

    In computer programming, the stride of an array (also referred to as increment, pitch or step size) is the number of locations in memory between beginnings of successive array elements, measured in bytes or in units of the size of the array's elements. The stride cannot be smaller than the element size but can be larger, indicating extra space ...

  8. Line drawing algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm

    A line rendered in this way exhibits some special properties that may be taken advantage of. For example, in cases like this, sections of the line are periodical. This results in an algorithm which is significantly faster than precise variants, especially for longer lines. A worsening in quality is only visible on lines with very low steepness.

  9. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    For example, for Newton's method as applied to a function f to oscillate between 0 and 1, it is only necessary that the tangent line to f at 0 intersects the x-axis at 1 and that the tangent line to f at 1 intersects the x-axis at 0. [17] This is the case, for example, if f(x) = x 3 − 2x + 2.
