  2. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    The final algorithm takes the six most significant bits of the size of the array, adds one if any of the remaining bits are set, and uses that result as the minrun. This algorithm works for all arrays, including those smaller than 64; for arrays of size 63 or less, this sets minrun equal to the array size and Timsort reduces to an insertion ...

  3. Stack (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(abstract_data_type)

    For each position in the array, the stack is popped until a smaller value is found on its top, and then the value in the new position is pushed onto the stack. [ 22 ] The nearest-neighbor chain algorithm , a method for agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on maintaining a stack of clusters, each of which is the nearest neighbor of its ...

  4. Buffer overflow protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection

    Canaries or canary words or stack cookies are known values that are placed between a buffer and control data on the stack to monitor buffer overflows. When the buffer overflows, the first data to be corrupted will usually be the canary, and a failed verification of the canary data will therefore alert of an overflow, which can then be handled, for example, by invalidating the corrupted data.

    Stack Overflow is a question-and-answer website for computer programmers. It is the flagship site of the Stack Exchange Network . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It was created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky .

  6. Uninitialized variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninitialized_variable

    In any case, even when a variable is implicitly initialized to a default value like 0, this is typically not the correct value. Initialized does not mean correct if the value is a default one. (However, default initialization to 0 is a right practice for pointers and arrays of pointers, since it makes them invalid before they are actually ...

  7. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

    An array data structure can be mathematically modeled as an abstract data structure (an abstract array) with two operations get(A, I): the data stored in the element of the array A whose indices are the integer tuple I. set(A, I, V): the array that results by setting the value of that element to V. These operations are required to satisfy the ...

  8. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    C, Java, and Python are notable mainstream languages in which all function calls, including tail calls, may cause stack allocation that would not occur with the use of looping constructs; in these languages, a working iterative program rewritten in recursive form may overflow the call stack, although tail call elimination may be a feature that ...

  9. Object copying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_copying

    One method of copying an object is the shallow copy.In that case a new object B is created, and the fields values of A are copied over to B. [3] [4] [5] This is also known as a field-by-field copy, [6] [7] [8] field-for-field copy, or field copy. [9]
