  3. Damerau–Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau–Levenshtein_distance

    The difference between the two algorithms consists in that the optimal string alignment algorithm computes the number of edit operations needed to make the strings equal under the condition that no substring is edited more than once, whereas the second one presents no such restriction. Take for example the edit distance between CA and ABC.

  4. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    Compared to using in-line code, invoking a function imposes some computational overhead in the call mechanism. [citation needed] A function typically requires standard housekeeping code – both at the entry to, and exit from, the function (function prologue and epilogue – usually saving general purpose registers and return address as a minimum).

  5. Unit propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_propagation

    In the example above, the unit clause would be added to the partial model; the simplification of the set of clauses would then proceed as above with the difference that the unit clause is now removed from the set. The resulting set of clauses is equivalent to the original one under the assumption of validity of the literals in the partial model.

  6. Pseudocode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocode

    An alternative to using mathematical pseudocode (involving set theory notation or matrix operations) for documentation of algorithms is to use a formal mathematical programming language that is a mix of non-ASCII mathematical notation and program control structures. Then the code can be parsed and interpreted by a machine.

  7. Automatic differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_differentiation

    The source code for a function is replaced by an automatically generated source code that includes statements for calculating the derivatives interleaved with the original instructions. Source code transformation can be implemented for all programming languages, and it is also easier for the compiler to do compile time optimizations. However ...

  8. Programming language generations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language...

    A fifth-generation programming language (5GL) is any programming language based on problem-solving using constraints given to the program, rather than using an algorithm written by a programmer. [9] They may use artificial intelligence techniques to solve problems in this way.

  9. Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm

    Flowchart of using successive subtractions to find the greatest common divisor of number r and s. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm (/ ˈ æ l ɡ ə r ɪ ð əm / ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.
