Using the XOR swap algorithm to exchange nibbles between variables without the use of temporary storage. In computer programming, the exclusive or swap (sometimes shortened to XOR swap) is an algorithm that uses the exclusive or bitwise operation to swap the values of two variables without using the temporary variable which is normally required.
The simplest and probably most widely used method to swap two variables is to use a third temporary variable: define swap (x, y) temp := x x := y y := temp While this is conceptually simple and in many cases the only convenient way to swap two variables, it uses extra memory.
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.
A single edit operation may be changing a single symbol of the string into another (cost W C), deleting a symbol (cost W D), or inserting a new symbol (cost W I). [2] If all edit operations have the same unit costs (W C = W D = W I = 1) the problem is the same as computing the Levenshtein distance of two strings.

Average mortgage rates edge higher for 30-year and 15-year terms as of Wednesday, December 18, 2024, as the Federal Reserve is set to conclude its final policy session of the year.
Temporary variables, along with XOR swaps and arithmetic operators, are one of three main ways to exchange the contents of two variables. To swap the contents of variables "a" and "b" one would typically use a temporary variable temp as follows, so as to preserve the data from a as it is being overwritten by b: temp := a a := b b := temp
Modern presidents since John F. Kennedy have issued nearly 300 on average, with Barack Obama issuing the fewest on average for a two-term president since Grover Cleveland. In a political system designed to separate powers across three branches of government in order to block any one of them from gaining too much authority, the president uses ...
