Figure 1. Finding the shortest path in a graph using optimal substructure; a straight line indicates a single edge; a wavy line indicates a shortest path between the two vertices it connects (among other paths, not shown, sharing the same two vertices); the bold line is the overall shortest path from start to goal.
In computer science, syntactic sugar is syntax within a programming language that is designed to make things easier to read or to express. It makes the language "sweeter" for human use: things can be expressed more clearly, more concisely, or in an alternative style that some may prefer.
This can simplify the definition of some functions. For example, writing a function to output the first n square numbers in Racket can be done accordingly: ( define ( first-n-squares n ) ( map ( lambda ( x ) ( * x x )) ;;; A function mapping x -> x^2 ( range n ))) ;;; List of the first n non-negative integers
Similar to the examples described above, we consider x, y, φ to be independent uniform random variables over the ranges 0 ≤ x ≤ a, 0 ≤ y ≤ b, − π / 2 ≤ φ ≤ π / 2 . To solve such a problem, we first compute the probability that the needle crosses no lines, and then we take its complement.
Introduced in Python 2.2 as an optional feature and finalized in version 2.3, generators are Python's mechanism for lazy evaluation of a function that would otherwise return a space-prohibitive or computationally intensive list. This is an example to lazily generate the prime numbers:
The Thermopop 2 features an auto-rotating, 1 ¼ inch backlit display, the ability to provide you with a temperature reading within 2-3 seconds, and an IP67 weather resistance rating.
Examples include: Simplification of algebraic expressions, in computer algebra; Simplification of boolean expressions i.e. logic optimization; Simplification by conjunction elimination in inference in logic yields a simpler, but generally non-equivalent formula; Simplification of fractions
Rosemary Oil. A very common oil included in natural hair growth products, studies have noted the efficacy of rosemary in promoting hair growth. In one study, results showed that rosemary oil may ...
