  2. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    It can be required that the most significant digit of the significand of a non-zero number be non-zero (except when the corresponding exponent would be smaller than the minimum one). This process is called normalization. For binary formats (which uses only the digits 0 and 1), this non-zero digit is necessarily 1. Therefore, it does not need to ...

  3. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.

  4. Bit numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_numbering

    Similarly, the most significant bit (MSb) represents the highest-order place of the binary integer. The LSb is sometimes referred to as the low-order bit or right-most bit, due to the convention in positional notation of writing less significant digits further to the right. The MSb is similarly referred to as the high-order bit or left-most bit.

  5. Java (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)

    Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile. [17]

  6. Primitive data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_data_type

    Most processors support a similar set of primitive data types, although the specific representations vary. [2] More generally, primitive data types may refer to the standard data types built into a programming language (built-in types). [3] [4] Data types which are not primitive are referred to as derived or composite. [3]

  7. Decimal data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_data_type

    Fractional numbers are supported on most programming languages as floating-point numbers or fixed-point numbers. However, such representations typically restrict the denominator to a power of two. Most decimal fractions (or most fractions in general) cannot be represented exactly as a fraction with a denominator that is a power of two.

  8. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    In functional programming, fold (also termed reduce, accumulate, aggregate, compress, or inject) refers to a family of higher-order functions that analyze a recursive data structure and through use of a given combining operation, recombine the results of recursively processing its constituent parts, building up a return value.

  9. Knuth's Algorithm X - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth's_Algorithm_X

    The goal is to select a subset of the rows such that the digit 1 appears in each column exactly once. Algorithm X works as follows: If the matrix A has no columns, the current partial solution is a valid solution; terminate successfully. Otherwise choose a column c (deterministically). Choose a row r such that A r, c = 1 (nondeterministically).
