  2. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

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

    The user can search for elements in an associative array, and delete elements from the array. The following shows how multi-dimensional associative arrays can be simulated in standard AWK using concatenation and the built-in string-separator variable SUBSEP:

  3. Off-side rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-side_rule

    The off-side rule describes syntax of a computer programming language that defines the bounds of a code block via indentation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The term was coined by Peter Landin , possibly as a pun on the offside law in association football .

  4. Knuth's Algorithm X - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth's_Algorithm_X

    The exact cover problem is represented in Algorithm X by an incidence matrix A consisting of 0s and 1s. The goal is to select a subset of the rows such that the digit 1 appears in each column exactly once. Algorithm X works as follows: If the matrix A has no columns, the current partial solution is a valid solution; terminate successfully.

  5. Covering problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covering_problems

    The most prominent examples of covering problems are the set cover problem, which is equivalent to the hitting set problem, and its special cases, the vertex cover problem and the edge cover problem. Covering problems allow the covering primitives to overlap; the process of covering something with non-overlapping primitives is called decomposition.

  6. Multiset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset

    For instance, consider "SELECT name from Student". In the case that there are multiple records with name "Sara" in the student table, all of them are shown. That means the result of an SQL query is a multiset; if the result were instead a set, the repetitive records in the result set would have been eliminated.

  7. Minimum bounding box algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box...

    In computational geometry, the smallest enclosing box problem is that of finding the oriented minimum bounding box enclosing a set of points. It is a type of bounding volume. "Smallest" may refer to volume, area, perimeter, etc. of the box. It is sufficient to find the smallest enclosing box for the convex hull of the objects in question. It is ...

  8. Composite key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_key

    In database design, a composite key is a candidate key that consists of two or more attributes, [1] [2] [3] (table columns) that together uniquely identify an entity occurrence (table row). A compound key is a composite key for which each attribute that makes up the key is a foreign key in its own right.

    Box-spring Queen size box-spring on metal bed frame 8-way hand-tied box spring. A box-spring (or divan in some countries) is a type of bed base typically consisting of a sturdy wooden frame covered in cloth and containing springs. Usually, the box-spring is placed on top of a wooden or metal bedframe that sits on the floor and acts as a brace ...
