  2. Circular buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_buffer

    Circular buffer. A ring showing, conceptually, a circular buffer. This visually shows that the buffer has no real end and it can loop around the buffer. However, since memory is never physically created as a ring, a linear representation is generally used as is done below. In computer science, a circular buffer, circular queue, cyclic buffer or ...

  3. Uninitialized variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninitialized_variable

    Uninitialized variables are powerful bugs since they can be exploited to leak arbitrary memory or to achieve arbitrary memory overwrite or to gain code execution, depending on the case. When exploiting a software which utilizes address space layout randomization (ASLR), it is often required to know the base address of the software in memory.

  4. Segmentation fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault

    In computing, a segmentation fault (often shortened to segfault) or access violation is a fault, or failure condition, raised by hardware with memory protection, notifying an operating system (OS) the software has attempted to access a restricted area of memory (a memory access violation). On standard x86 computers, this is a form of general ...

    C# (/ ˌ s iː ˈ ʃ ɑːr p / see SHARP) [b] is a general-purpose high-level programming language supporting multiple paradigms.C# encompasses static typing, [16]: 4 strong typing, lexically scoped, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, [16]: 22 object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines.

  6. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    Memory leak. In computer science, a memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations [ 1 ] in a way that memory which is no longer needed is not released. A memory leak may also happen when an object is stored in memory but cannot be accessed by the running code (i.e. unreachable ...

  7. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, a pointer is an object in many programming languages that stores a memory address. This can be that of another value located in computer memory, or in some cases, that of memory-mapped computer hardware. A pointer references a location in memory, and obtaining the value stored at that location is known as dereferencing the ...

  8. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    Null-terminated string. In computer programming, a null-terminated string is a character string stored as an array containing the characters and terminated with a null character (a character with an internal value of zero, called "NUL" in this article, not same as the glyph zero). Alternative names are C string, which refers to the C ...

  9. Maximum subarray problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_subarray_problem

    In this case, the array from which samples are taken is [2, 3, -1, -20, 5, 10]. In computer science, the maximum sum subarray problem, also known as the maximum segment sum problem, is the task of finding a contiguous subarray with the largest sum, within a given one-dimensional array A [1...n] of numbers. It can be solved in time and space.
