  2. Parity bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit

    This mechanism enables the detection of single bit errors, because if one bit gets flipped due to line noise, there will be an incorrect number of ones in the received data. In the two examples above, Bob's calculated parity value matches the parity bit in its received value, indicating there are no single bit errors.

  3. Side effect (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    In the presence of side effects, a program's behaviour may depend on history; that is, the order of evaluation matters. Understanding and debugging a function with side effects requires knowledge about the context and its possible histories. [2] [3] Side effects play an important role in the design and analysis of programming languages. The ...

  4. List of HTTP header fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields

    Many field values may contain a quality (q) key-value pair separated by equals sign, specifying a weight to use in content negotiation. [9] For example, a browser may indicate that it accepts information in German or English, with German as preferred by setting the q value for de higher than that of en, as follows: Accept-Language: de; q=1.0 ...

  5. Computation of cyclic redundancy checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_of_cyclic...

    In the part of the basic Sarwate algorithm where the previous CRC value is shifted by the size of the table lookup, the previous CRC value is shifted away entirely (what remains is all zero), so the XOR can be eliminated from the critical path. The resultant slice-by-n inner loop consists of: XOR the current CRC with the next n bytes of the ...

  6. Buffer overflow protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection

    Canaries or canary words or stack cookies are known values that are placed between a buffer and control data on the stack to monitor buffer overflows. When the buffer overflows, the first data to be corrupted will usually be the canary, and a failed verification of the canary data will therefore alert of an overflow, which can then be handled, for example, by invalidating the corrupted data.

  7. Comment (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comment_(computer_programming)

    It is possible to insert human-readable content that is actually part of the configuration, and may be saved to the NVRAM startup-config via: The "description" command, used to add a description to the configuration of an interface or of a BGP neighbor; The "name" parameter, to add a remark to a static route; The "remark" command in access lists

  8. Declarative programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming

    Constraint programming states relations between variables in the form of constraints that specify the properties of the target solution. The set of constraints is solved by giving a value to each variable so that the solution is consistent with the maximum number of constraints. Constraint programming often complements other paradigms ...

  9. Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm - Wikipedia

    Even values less than 40 indicate a 2 v/2 + 12 bytes dictionary size; Odd values less than 40 indicate a 3×2 (v − 1)/2 + 11 bytes dictionary size; Values higher than 40 are invalid; LZMA2 data consists of packets starting with a control byte, with the following values: 0 denotes the end of the file
