  2. Hamming distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance

    For a fixed length n, the Hamming distance is a metric on the set of the words of length n (also known as a Hamming space), as it fulfills the conditions of non-negativity, symmetry, the Hamming distance of two words is 0 if and only if the two words are identical, and it satisfies the triangle inequality as well: [2] Indeed, if we fix three words a, b and c, then whenever there is a ...

  4. Edit distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance

    In computational linguistics and computer science, edit distance is a string metric, i.e. a way of quantifying how dissimilar two strings (e.g., words) are to one another, that is measured by counting the minimum number of operations required to transform one string into the other.

  5. Binary Golay code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_Golay_code

    In the extended binary Golay code, all code words have Hamming weights of 0, 8, 12, 16, or 24. Code words of weight 8 are called octads and code words of weight 12 are called dodecads. Octads of the code G 24 are elements of the S(5,8,24) Steiner system. There are 759 = 3 × 11 × 23 octads and 759 complements thereof.

  6. Source lines of code - Wikipedia

    For example, instead of writing a program to create a window and draw a button, a user with a GUI tool can use drag-and-drop and other mouse operations to place components on a workspace. Code that is automatically generated by a GUI tool is not usually taken into consideration when using LOC methods of measurement.

  7. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    This algorithm, an example of bottom-up dynamic programming, is discussed, with variants, in the 1974 article The String-to-string correction problem by Robert A. Wagner and Michael J. Fischer. [ 4 ] This is a straightforward pseudocode implementation for a function LevenshteinDistance that takes two strings, s of length m , and t of length n ...

  8. Integer (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_(computer_science)

    The meanings of terms derived from word, such as longword, doubleword, quadword, and halfword, also vary with the CPU and OS. [7] Practically all new desktop processors are capable of using 64-bit words, though embedded processors with 8- and 16-bit word size are still common. The 36-bit word length was common in the early days of computers.

  9. Word (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_(computer_architecture)

    For example, Microsoft's Windows API maintains the programming language definition of WORD as 16 bits, despite the fact that the API may be used on a 32- or 64-bit x86 processor, where the standard word size would be 32 or 64 bits, respectively. Data structures containing such different sized words refer to them as: WORD (16 bits/2 bytes)
