  2. Bloom filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter

    Like Bloom filters, these structures achieve a small space overhead by accepting a small probability of false positives. In the case of "Bloomier filters", a false positive is defined as returning a result when the key is not in the map. The map will never return the wrong value for a key that is in the map.

  3. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    A lookup table, which contains, as keys, the case values and, as values, the part under the case statement. (In some languages, only actual data types are allowed as values in the lookup table. In other languages, it is also possible to assign functions as lookup table values, gaining the same flexibility as a real switch statement.

  4. Bounds checking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounds_checking

    The JS++ programming language is able to analyze if an array index or map key is out-of-bounds at compile time using existent types, which is a nominal type describing whether the index or key is within-bounds or out-of-bounds and guides code generation. Existent types have been shown to add only 1ms overhead to compile times.

  5. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    When the program requires the sine of a value, it can use the lookup table to retrieve the closest sine value from a memory address, and may also interpolate to the sine of the desired value, instead of calculating by mathematical formula. Lookup tables can thus used by mathematics coprocessors in computer systems.

  6. Parity-check matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity-check_matrix

    Formally, a parity check matrix H of a linear code C is a generator matrix of the dual code, C ⊥. This means that a codeword c is in C if and only if the matrix-vector product Hc ⊤ = 0 (some authors [1] would write this in an equivalent form, cH ⊤ = 0.) The rows of a parity check matrix are the coefficients of the parity check equations. [2]

  7. Name–value pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name–value_pair

    Example of a web form with name-value pairs. A name–value pair, also called an attribute–value pair, keyvalue pair, or field–value pair, is a fundamental data representation in computing systems and applications. Designers often desire an open-ended data structure that allows for future extension without modifying existing code or data.

  8. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

    Off-by-one errors are common in using the C library because it is not consistent with respect to whether one needs to subtract 1 byte – functions like fgets() and strncpy will never write past the length given them (fgets() subtracts 1 itself, and only retrieves (length − 1) bytes), whereas others, like strncat will write past the length given them.

  9. Conditional (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    First, when the user runs the program, a cursor appears waiting for the reader to type a number. If that number is greater than 10, the text "My variable is named 'foo'." is displayed on the screen. If the number is smaller than 10, then the message "My variable is named 'bar'." is printed on the screen.
