  2. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    The problem is that the loop terminating condition (x != 1.1) tests for exact equality of two floating point values, and the way floating point values are represented in many computers will make this test fail, because they cannot represent the value 0.1 exactly, thus introducing rounding errors on each increment (cf. box).

  3. Conway's Game of Life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life

    The first number, or list of numbers, is what is required for a dead cell to be born. The second set is the requirement for a live cell to survive to the next generation. Hence B6/S16 means "a cell is born if there are six neighbours, and lives on if there are either one or six neighbours".

  4. Josephus problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_problem

    The horizontal axis is the number of the person. The vertical axis (top to bottom) is time (the number of cycle). A live person is drawn as green, a dead one is drawn as black. [1] In the particular counting-out game that gives rise to the Josephus problem, a number of people are standing in a circle waiting to be executed. Counting begins at a ...

  5. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    In the second line, the number one is added to the fraction, and again Excel displays only 15 figures. In the third line, one is subtracted from the sum using Excel. Because the sum in the second line has only eleven 1's after the decimal, the difference when 1 is subtracted from this displayed value is three 0's followed by a string of eleven 1's.

  6. Conditional loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_loop

    A conditional loop has the potential to become an infinite loop when nothing in the loop's body can affect the outcome of the loop's conditional statement. However, infinite loops can sometimes be used purposely, often with an exit from the loop built into the loop implementation for every computer language , but many share the same basic ...

  7. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    Let A be the sum of the negative values and B the sum of the positive values; the number of different possible sums is at most B-A, so the total runtime is in (()). For example, if all input values are positive and bounded by some constant C , then B is at most N C , so the time required is O ( N 2 C ) {\displaystyle O(N^{2}C)} .

  8. Pairwise summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairwise_summation

    For example, if the summands x i are uncorrelated random numbers with zero mean, the sum is a random walk and the condition number will grow proportional to . On the other hand, for random inputs with nonzero mean the condition number asymptotes to a finite constant as n → ∞ {\displaystyle n\to \infty } .

  9. Conditional (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    If-then-else flow diagram A nested if–then–else flow diagram. In computer science, conditionals (that is, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructs) are programming language constructs that perform different computations or actions or return different values depending on the value of a Boolean expression, called a condition.
