  2. Maze generation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm

    This algorithm, also known as the "recursive backtracker" algorithm, is a randomized version of the depth-first search algorithm. Frequently implemented with a stack, this approach is one of the simplest ways to generate a maze using a computer. Consider the space for a maze being a large grid of cells (like a large chess board), each cell ...

  3. Generator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In Python, a generator can be thought of as an iterator that contains a frozen stack frame. Whenever next() is called on the iterator, Python resumes the frozen frame, which executes normally until the next yield statement is reached. The generator's frame is then frozen again, and the yielded value is returned to the caller.

  4. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    Recursive drawing of a SierpiƄski Triangle through turtle graphics. In computer science, recursion is a method of solving a computational problem where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. [1] [2] Recursion solves such recursive problems by using functions that call themselves from within their own code ...

  5. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    A structure similar to LCGs, but not equivalent, is the multiple-recursive generator: X n = (a 1 X n−1 + a 2 X n−2 + ··· + a k X n−k) mod m for k ≥ 2. With a prime modulus, this can generate periods up to m k −1, so is a useful extension of the LCG structure to larger periods.

  6. Coroutine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine

    Python 2.5 implements better support for coroutine-like functionality, based on extended generators Python 3.3 improves this ability, by supporting delegating to a subgenerator ( PEP 380 ) Python 3.4 introduces a comprehensive asynchronous I/O framework as standardized in PEP 3156 , which includes coroutines that leverage subgenerator delegation

  7. Rolling hash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_hash

    A rolling hash (also known as recursive hashing or rolling checksum) is a hash function where the input is hashed in a window that moves through the input.. A few hash functions allow a rolling hash to be computed very quickly—the new hash value is rapidly calculated given only the old hash value, the old value removed from the window, and the new value added to the window—similar to the ...

  8. Recursive descent parser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_descent_parser

    In computer science, a recursive descent parser is a kind of top-down parser built from a set of mutually recursive procedures (or a non-recursive equivalent) where each such procedure implements one of the nonterminals of the grammar. Thus the structure of the resulting program closely mirrors that of the grammar it recognizes. [1] [2]

  9. Corecursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corecursion

    In computer science, corecursion is a type of operation that is dual to recursion.Whereas recursion works analytically, starting on data further from a base case and breaking it down into smaller data and repeating until one reaches a base case, corecursion works synthetically, starting from a base case and building it up, iteratively producing data further removed from a base case.
