  2. Floating-point error mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_error...

    Variable length arithmetic represents numbers as a string of digits of a variable's length limited only by the memory available. Variable-length arithmetic operations are considerably slower than fixed-length format floating-point instructions.

  3. Data cleansing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_cleansing

    Data-Type Constraints: values in a particular column must be of a particular data type, e.g., Boolean, numeric (integer or real), date. Range Constraints: typically, numbers or dates should fall within a certain range. That is, they have minimum and/or maximum permissible values. Mandatory Constraints: Certain columns cannot be empty.

  4. Magic string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_string

    For example, when testing a program that takes a user's personal details and verifies their credit card number, a developer may decide to add a magic string shortcut whereby entering the unlikely input of "***" as a credit card number would cause the program to automatically proceed as if the card were valid, without spending time verifying it.

  5. Nested set model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_set_model

    The nested set model is a technique for representing nested set collections (also known as trees or hierarchies) in relational databases.. It is based on Nested Intervals, that "are immune to hierarchy reorganization problem, and allow answering ancestor path hierarchical queries algorithmically — without accessing the stored hierarchy relation".

  6. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    Magic numbers become particularly confusing when the same number is used for different purposes in one section of code. It is easier to alter the value of the number, as it is not duplicated. Changing the value of a magic number is error-prone, because the same value is often used several times in different places within a program. [6]

  7. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    If the character is not found most of these routines return an invalid index value – -1 where indexes are 0-based, 0 where they are 1-based – or some value to be interpreted as Boolean FALSE. This can be accomplished as a special case of #Find , with a string of one character; but it may be simpler or more efficient in many languages to ...

  8. Foreach loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreach_loop

    In computer programming, foreach loop (or for-each loop) is a control flow statement for traversing items in a collection. foreach is usually used in place of a standard for loop statement.

  9. SQL syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_syntax

    SQL includes operators and functions for calculating values on stored values. SQL allows the use of expressions in the select list to project data, as in the following example, which returns a list of books that cost more than 100.00 with an additional sales_tax column containing a sales tax figure calculated at 6% of the price.
