  2. Comparison of programming languages (list comprehension)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    List comprehension is a syntactic construct available in some programming languages for creating a list based on existing lists. It follows the form of the mathematical set-builder notation (set comprehension) as distinct from the use of map and filter functions.

  3. Bubble sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort

    For example, bubble sort is () on a list that is already sorted, while quicksort would still perform its entire (⁡) sorting process. While any sorting algorithm can be made O ( n ) {\displaystyle O(n)} on a presorted list simply by checking the list before the algorithm runs, improved performance on almost-sorted lists is harder to replicate.

  4. Bootstrapping (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(finance)

    To derive this rate we observe that the theoretical price of a bond can be calculated as the present value of the cash flows to be received in the future. In the case of swap rates, we want the par bond rate (Swaps are priced at par when created) and therefore we require that the present value of the future cash flows and principal be equal to ...

  5. Notional principal contract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notional_principal_contract

    The simplest example of an NPC is a so-called interest rate swap, in which one party (Party A) pays the other party (Party B) an amount each quarter determined by multiplying a floating, market-determined interest rate (e.g., LIBOR) by the notional amount; and Party B pays Party A on the same date an amount determined by multiplying a fixed ...

  6. Accretion (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_(finance)

    In finance, the term accretion refers to a positive change in value following a transaction; it is applied in several contexts. When trading in bonds , accretion is the capital gain expected when a bond is bought at a discount to its par value , [ 1 ] given that, it is expected to mature at par .

  7. Cocktail shaker sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker_sort

    The simplest form goes through the whole list each time: procedure cocktailShakerSort(A : list of sortable items) is do swapped := false for each i in 0 to length(A) − 1 do: if A[i] > A[i + 1] then // test whether the two elements are in the wrong order swap(A[i], A[i + 1]) // let the two elements change places swapped := true end if end for if not swapped then // we can exit the outer loop ...

  8. List (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_(abstract_data_type)

    A singly-linked list structure, implementing a list with three integer elements. The term list is also used for several concrete data structures that can be used to implement abstract lists, especially linked lists and arrays. In some contexts, such as in Lisp programming, the term list may refer specifically to a linked list rather than an array.

  9. Zen of Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python

    The Zen of Python is a collection of 19 "guiding principles" for writing computer programs that influence the design of the Python programming language. [1] Python code that aligns with these principles is often referred to as "Pythonic". [2] Software engineer Tim Peters wrote this set of principles and posted it on the Python mailing list in ...
