  2. Bitwise operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

    For example: 0101 (decimal 5) AND 0011 (decimal 3) = 0001 (decimal 1) The operation may be used to determine whether a particular bit is set (1) or cleared (0). For example, given a bit pattern 0011 (decimal 3), to determine whether the second bit is set we use a bitwise AND with a bit pattern containing 1 only in the second bit: 0011 (decimal ...

  3. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    Greedy algorithms fail to produce the optimal solution for many other problems and may even produce the unique worst possible solution. One example is the travelling salesman problem mentioned above: for each number of cities, there is an assignment of distances between the cities for which the nearest-neighbour heuristic produces the unique ...

  4. Bitwise operations in C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operations_in_C

    In the C programming language, operations can be performed on a bit level using bitwise operators.. Bitwise operations are contrasted by byte-level operations which characterize the bitwise operators' logical counterparts, the AND, OR, NOT operators.

  5. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    For example, in an eight-bit byte, only seven bits represent the magnitude, which can range from 0000000 (0) to 1111111 (127). Thus numbers ranging from −127 10 to +127 10 can be represented once the sign bit (the eighth bit) is added. For example, −43 10 encoded in an eight-bit byte is 10101011 while 43 10 is 00101011.

  6. Binary-code compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-code_compatibility

    For another example, Mac OS X on the PowerPC had the ability to run Mac OS 9 and earlier application software through Classic—but this did not make Mac OS X a binary compatible OS with Mac OS 9. Instead, the Classic environment was actually running Mac OS 9.1 in a virtual machine, running as a normal process inside of Mac OS X. [1] [2]

  7. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    a(x 1x 2) = b(y 2 − y 1). Therefore, the smallest difference between two x solutions is b/g, whereas the smallest difference between two y solutions is a/g. Thus, the solutions may be expressed as x = x 1 − bu/g y = y 1 + au/g. By allowing u to vary over all possible integers, an infinite family of solutions can be generated from a ...

  8. Trie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie

    Tries are also disadvantageous when the key value cannot be easily represented as string, such as floating point numbers where multiple representations are possible (e.g. 1 is equivalent to 1.0, +1.0, 1.00, etc.), [12]: 359 however it can be unambiguously represented as a binary number in IEEE 754, in comparison to two's complement format.

  9. Binary Golay code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_Golay_code

    Lexicographic code: Order the vectors in V lexicographically (i.e., interpret them as unsigned 24-bit binary integers and take the usual ordering). Starting with w 0 = 0, define w 1, w 2, ..., w 12 by the rule that w n is the smallest integer which differs from all linear combinations of previous elements in at least eight coordinates.
