  2. Stata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stata

    Stata allows for flexibility with assigning data types to data. Its compress command automatically reassigns data to data types that take up less memory without loss of information. Stata utilizes integer storage types which occupy only one or two bytes rather than four, and single-precision (4 bytes) rather than double-precision (8 bytes) is ...

  3. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    A simplistic example of ECC is to transmit each data bit three times, which is known as a (3,1) repetition code. Through a noisy channel, a receiver might see eight versions of the output, see table below.

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

    If n is greater than the length of the string then most implementations return the whole string (exceptions exist – see code examples). Note that for variable-length encodings such as UTF-8, UTF-16 or Shift-JIS, it can be necessary to remove string positions at the end, in order to avoid invalid strings.

  5. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Since 7 October 2024, Python 3.13 is the latest stable release, and it and, for few more months, 3.12 are the only releases with active support including for bug fixes (as opposed to just for security) and Python 3.9, [49] is the oldest supported version of Python (albeit in the 'security support' phase), due to Python 3.8 reaching end-of-life.

  6. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports a wide variety of string operations. Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify ...

  7. Edit distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance

    More formally, for any language L and string x over an alphabet Σ, the language edit distance d(L, x) is given by [14] (,) = (,), where (,) is the string edit distance. When the language L is context free , there is a cubic time dynamic programming algorithm proposed by Aho and Peterson in 1972 which computes the language edit distance. [ 15 ]

  8. Non-breaking space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space

    A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).

  9. Anonymous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function

    In computer programming, an anonymous function (function literal, expression or block) is a function definition that is not bound to an identifier.Anonymous functions are often arguments being passed to higher-order functions or used for constructing the result of a higher-order function that needs to return a function.
