Ordered pair. Analytic geometry associates to each point in the Euclidean plane an ordered pair. The red ellipse is associated with the set of all pairs (x, y) such that x24 + y2 = 1. In mathematics, an ordered pair, denoted (a, b), is a pair of objects in which their order is significant. The ordered pair (a, b) is different from the ...
An n-tuple is a tuple of n elements, where n is a non-negative integer. There is only one 0-tuple, called the empty tuple. A 1-tuple and a 2-tuple are commonly called a singleton and an ordered pair, respectively. The term "infinite tuple" is occasionally used for "infinite sequences".
List (abstract data type) In computer science, a list or sequence is collection of items that are finite in number and in a particular order. An instance of a list is a computer representation of the mathematical concept of a tuple or finite sequence. A list may contain the same value more than once, and each occurrence is considered a distinct ...
Sorting algorithm. Merge sort. In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order. The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order, and either ascending or descending.
The relational model (RM) is an approach to managing data using a structure and language consistent with first-order predicate logic, first described in 1969 by English computer scientist Edgar F. Codd, [1][2] where all data is represented in terms of tuples, grouped into relations. A database organized in terms of the relational model is a ...
The set C = {0, 1} ∞ of all infinite binary sequences is sometimes called the Cantor space. An infinite binary sequence can represent a formal language (a set of strings) by setting the n th bit of the sequence to 1 if and only if the n th string (in shortlex order) is in the language.
In mathematics, a permutation of a set can mean one of two different things: an arrangement of its members in a sequence or linear order, or. the act or process of changing the linear order of an ordered set. [ 1 ] An example of the first meaning is the six permutations (orderings) of the set {1, 2, 3}: written as tuples, they are (1, 2, 3), (1 ...
In mathematics, specifically set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets A and B, denoted A × B, is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) where a is in A and b is in B. [1] In terms of set-builder notation, that is [2][3] A table can be created by taking the Cartesian product of a set of rows and a set of columns.
