Loop unrolling, also known as loop unwinding, is a loop transformation technique that attempts to optimize a program's execution speed at the expense of its binary size, which is an approach known as space–time tradeoff.
The bitwise NOT, or bitwise complement, is a unary operation that performs logical negation on each bit, forming the ones' complement of the given binary value. Bits that are 0 become 1, and those that are 1 become 0. For example: NOT 0111 (decimal 7) = 1000 (decimal 8) NOT 10101011 (decimal 171) = 01010100 (decimal 84)
This resembles the recurrence for binary search but has a larger S(n) term than the constant term of binary search. In prune and search algorithms S(n) is typically at least linear (since the whole input must be processed). With this assumption, the recurrence has the solution T(n) = O(S(n)).
B will denote the best solution found so far, and will be used as an upper bound on candidate solutions. Initialize a queue to hold a partial solution with none of the variables of the problem assigned. Loop until the queue is empty: Take a node N off the queue. If N represents a single candidate solution x and f(x) < B, then x is the best ...
So, for example, the LO branch between 13 and 12 indicates that if the path does not include the arc from 1 to 3, the next thing to ask is if it includes the arc from 1 to 2. The absence of a LO branch leaving node 12 indicates that any path that does not go from 1 to 3 must therefore go from 1 to 2.
Conversely, a beam width of 1 corresponds to a hill-climbing algorithm. [3] The beam width bounds the memory required to perform the search. Since a goal state could potentially be pruned, beam search sacrifices completeness (the guarantee that an algorithm will terminate with a solution, if one exists).
Tries are also disadvantageous when the key value cannot be easily represented as string, such as floating point numbers where multiple representations are possible (e.g. 1 is equivalent to 1.0, +1.0, 1.00, etc.), [12]: 359 however it can be unambiguously represented as a binary number in IEEE 754, in comparison to two's complement format.

In the extended binary Golay code, all code words have Hamming weights of 0, 8, 12, 16, or 24. Code words of weight 8 are called octads and code words of weight 12 are called dodecads. Octads of the code G 24 are elements of the S(5,8,24) Steiner system. There are 759 = 3 × 11 × 23 octads and 759 complements thereof.
