  2. Dining philosophers problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dining_philosophers_problem

    Problem statement. Five philosophers dine together at the same table. Each philosopher has their own plate at the table. There is a fork between each plate. The dish served is a kind of spaghetti which has to be eaten with two forks. Each philosopher can only alternately think and eat. Moreover, a philosopher can only eat their spaghetti when ...

  3. Singleton pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_pattern

    In object-oriented programming, the singleton pattern is a software design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to a singular instance. It is one of the well-known "Gang of Four" design patterns, which describe how to solve recurring problems in object-oriented software. [1] The pattern is useful when exactly one object is needed ...

  4. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Recursion (computer science) Tree created using the Logo programming language and relying heavily on recursion. Each branch can be seen as a smaller version of a tree. Recursive drawing of a SierpiƄski Triangle through turtle graphics. In computer science, recursion is a method of solving a computational problem where the solution depends on ...

  5. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    A greedy algorithm is used to construct a Huffman tree during Huffman coding where it finds an optimal solution. In decision tree learning, greedy algorithms are commonly used, however they are not guaranteed to find the optimal solution. One popular such algorithm is the ID3 algorithm for decision tree construction.

  6. Visitor pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern

    The following example is in the language Java, and shows how the contents of a tree of nodes (in this case describing the components of a car) can be printed. Instead of creating print methods for each node subclass ( Wheel , Engine , Body , and Car ), one visitor class ( CarElementPrintVisitor ) performs the required printing action.

  7. Java (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile. [17]

  8. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    Java syntax. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables. All code belongs to classes and all values are objects.

  9. Short-circuit evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation

    Short-circuit evaluation, minimal evaluation, or McCarthy evaluation (after John McCarthy) is the semantics of some Boolean operators in some programming languages in which the second argument is executed or evaluated only if the first argument does not suffice to determine the value of the expression: when the first argument of the AND function evaluates to false, the overall value must be ...
