  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

    Rebecca Root became the first openly transgender actress to play a leading role in a British situation comedy, in the BBC's Boy Meets Girl. The Royal Vauxhall Tavern became the first ever building in the UK to be given a special "listing" status based on its LGBT history; it was accorded Grade II listed status by the UK's Department of Culture ...

  4. BASIC interpreter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_interpreter

    First implemented as a compile-and-go system rather than an interpreter, BASIC emerged as part of a wider movement towards time-sharing systems. General Electric, having worked on the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System and its associated Dartmouth BASIC, wrote their own underlying operating system and launched an online time-sharing system known as Mark I featuring a BASIC compiler (not an ...

    Although Russian word stress is often unpredictable and can fall on different syllables in different forms of the same word, the diacritic accent is used only in dictionaries, children's books, resources for foreign-language learners, the defining entry (in bold) in articles on Russian Wikipedia, or on minimal pairs distinguished only by stress ...

    var x1 = 0; // A global variable, because it is not in any function let x2 = 0; // Also global, this time because it is not in any block function f {var z = 'foxes', r = 'birds'; // 2 local variables m = 'fish'; // global, because it wasn't declared anywhere before function child {var r = 'monkeys'; // This variable is local and does not affect the "birds" r of the parent function. z ...

  7. Rasht - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasht

    The word varesh (وارش) meaning "rain" in Gilaki, indicates that this word is a combination of va + resh (وا + رش). Another point of view is that the correct pronunciation of the city's name is Resht (رِشت), taken from the root risidan (ریسیدن) or reshtan (رشتن), both meaning spin , [ 9 ] and the reason for this name is the ...

    Integer square root modulo a large prime [3] [dubious – discuss] Weaken Fiat–Shamir signatures [3] Ong–Schnorr–Shamir signature broken by Pollard [3] Partial hash inversion [22] [23] [2] This paper formalizes the idea of a proof of work and introduces "the dependent idea of a bread pudding protocol", a "re-usable proof-of-work" (RPoW ...

  9. Film speed - Wikipedia

    Thus, a lens set to f /1.4 allows twice as much light to strike the focal plane as a lens set to f / 2. Therefore, each f-number factor of the square root of two (approximately 1.4) is also a stop, so lenses are typically marked in that progression: f / 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, etc..
