Turbo coding is an iterated soft-decoding scheme that combines two or more relatively simple convolutional codes and an interleaver to produce a block code that can perform to within a fraction of a decibel of the Shannon limit.

Software maintenance is the modification of software after delivery. [1]As per the IEEE standard glossary of software engineering terminology, software maintenance refers to the process of modifying and updating software after its initial development and deployment, to correct faults, improve performance or other attributes, add new features to meet evolving user requirements, or adapt to a ...
For example, some would say that the use of an uninitialized variable's value in Java code is a syntax error, but many others would disagree [1] [2] ...
