  2. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    Python supports conditional execution of code depending on whether a loop was exited early (with a break statement) or not by using an else-clause with the loop. For example, For example, for n in set_of_numbers : if isprime ( n ): print ( "Set contains a prime number" ) break else : print ( "Set did not contain any prime numbers" )

  3. Do while loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_while_loop

    First the code within the block is executed. Then the condition is evaluated. If the condition is true the code within the block is executed again. This repeats until the condition becomes false. Do while loops check the condition after the block of code is executed. This control structure can be known as a post-test loop. This means the do ...

  4. Banker's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banker's_algorithm

    Banker's algorithm is a resource allocation and deadlock avoidance algorithm developed by Edsger Dijkstra that tests for safety by simulating the allocation of predetermined maximum possible amounts of all resources, and then makes an "s-state" check to test for possible deadlock conditions for all other pending activities, before deciding whether allocation should be allowed to continue.

  5. Algorithmic trading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_trading

    Algorithmic trading is a method of executing orders using automated pre-programmed trading instructions accounting for variables such as time, price, and volume. [1] This type of trading attempts to leverage the speed and computational resources of computers relative to human traders.

  6. Memory ordering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_ordering

    Execution effects are visible at two levels: within the program code at a high level, and at the machine level as viewed by other threads or processing elements in concurrent programming, or during debugging when using a hardware debugging aid with access to the machine state (some support for this is often built directly into the CPU or ...

  7. Sequential consistency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_consistency

    Sequential consistency is a consistency model used in the domain of concurrent computing (e.g. in distributed shared memory, distributed transactions, etc.).. It is the property that "... the result of any execution is the same as if the operations of all the processors were executed in some sequential order, and the operations of each individual processor appear in this sequence in the order ...

  8. Structured programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_programming

    Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed at improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making specific disciplined use of the structured control flow constructs of selection (if/then/else) and repetition (while and for), block structures, and subroutines.

  9. Common Object Request Broker Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Object_Request...

    Generated code classes are the result of compiling the user IDL code, which translates the high-level interface definition into an OS- and language-specific class base for use by the user application. This step is necessary in order to enforce CORBA semantics and provide a clean user process for interfacing with the CORBA infrastructure.
