  2. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

    The general class of questions that some algorithm can answer in polynomial time is "P" or "class P". For some questions, there is no known way to find an answer quickly, but if provided with an answer, it can be verified quickly. The class of questions where an answer can be verified in polynomial time is "NP", standing for "nondeterministic ...

  3. MATLAB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB

    MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory" [18]) 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.

  4. String interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interpolation

    There are two main types of variable-expanding algorithms for variable interpolation: [3] Replace and expand placeholders: creating a new string from the original one, by find–replace operations. Find variable reference (placeholder), replace it by its variable value. This algorithm offers no cache strategy.

  5. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    In information theory, linguistics, and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. The Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other.

  6. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    Conversely, given a solution to the SubsetSumZero instance, it must contain the −T (since all integers in S are positive), so to get a sum of zero, it must also contain a subset of S with a sum of +T, which is a solution of the SubsetSumPositive instance. The input integers are positive, and T = sum(S)/2.

  7. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    The condition number of a problem is the ratio of the relative change in the solution to the relative change in the input. [3] A problem is well-conditioned if small relative changes in input result in small relative changes in the solution.

  8. Hard coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_coding

    A similar problem may occur if the same hard-coded value is used for more than one parameter value, e.g. an array of 6 elements and a minimum input string length of 6. A programmer may mistakenly change all instances of the value (often using an editor's search-and-replace facility) without checking the code to see how each instance is used.

  9. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Strings admit the following interpretation as nodes on a graph, where k is the number of symbols in Σ: Fixed-length strings of length n can be viewed as the integer locations in an n-dimensional hypercube with sides of length k-1. Variable-length strings (of finite length) can be viewed as nodes on a perfect k-ary tree.
