In mathematical writing, the term strict refers to the property of excluding equality and equivalence [1] and often occurs in the context of inequality and monotonic functions. [2] It is often attached to a technical term to indicate that the exclusive meaning of the term is to be understood.
Although such behaviour is typically meant to make the language easier, it can lead to surprising and difficult to predict consequences that many programmers are unaware of. For example, Javascript's loose equality rules can cause equality to be intransitive (ie. a == b and b == c, but a != c), or make certain values be equal to their own negation.
The syntax of JavaScript is the set of rules that define a correctly structured JavaScript program. The examples below make use of the log function of the console object present in most browsers for standard text output .
If the inequality is strict (a < b, a > b) and the function is strictly monotonic, then the inequality remains strict. If only one of these conditions is strict, then the resultant inequality is non-strict. In fact, the rules for additive and multiplicative inverses are both examples of applying a strictly monotonically decreasing function.
Operationally, a strict function is one that always evaluates its argument; a non-strict function is one that might not evaluate some of its arguments. Functions having more than one parameter can be strict or non-strict in each parameter independently, as well as jointly strict in several parameters simultaneously.
Maybe you've interchanged the words "equity" and "equality" in conversation—but they don't, in fact, mean the same thing. The post Equality vs. Equity: What’s the Difference? appeared first on ...
To investigate the left distributivity of set subtraction over unions or intersections, consider how the sets involved in (both of) De Morgan's laws are all related: () = = () always holds (the equalities on the left and right are De Morgan's laws) but equality is not guaranteed in general (that is, the containment might be strict). Equality ...
(Reuters) - The Washington Post said on Tuesday it would lay off about 4% of its workforce or less than 100 employees in a bid to cut costs, as the storied newspaper grapples with growing losses.
