  2. Sudoku solving algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku_solving_algorithms

    If a cell is discovered where none of the 9 digits is allowed, then the algorithm leaves that cell blank and moves back to the previous cell. The value in that cell is then incremented by one. This is repeated until the allowed value in the last (81st) cell is discovered. The animation shows how a Sudoku is solved with this method.

  3. Quicksort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort

    For recursion, recurse on the smaller subfile first, then iterate to handle the larger subfile. Once a sub-file is less than or equal to 4 B records, the subfile is sorted in-place via quicksort and written. That subfile is now sorted and in place in the file. The process is continued until all sub-files are sorted and in place.

  4. Visual Basic for Applications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic_for_Applications

    Code written in VBA is compiled [6] to Microsoft P-Code (pseudo-code), a proprietary intermediate language, which the host applications (Access, Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint) store as a separate stream in COM Structured Storage files (e.g., .doc or .xls) independent of the document streams.

  5. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    Making a Macro that changes the cell colors and making changes to other aspects of cells may not be backward compatible. VBA code interacts with the spreadsheet through the Excel Object Model, [24] a vocabulary identifying spreadsheet objects, and a set of supplied functions or methods that enable reading and writing to the spreadsheet and ...

  6. Insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort

    It combines the speed of insertion sort on small data sets with the speed of merge sort on large data sets. [8] To avoid having to make a series of swaps for each insertion, the input could be stored in a linked list, which allows elements to be spliced into or out of the list in constant time when the position in the list is known. However ...

  7. Elevator algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator_algorithm

    The elevator algorithm, or SCAN, is a disk-scheduling algorithm to determine the motion of the disk's arm and head in servicing read and write requests.. This algorithm is named after the behavior of a building elevator, where the elevator continues to travel in its current direction (up or down) until empty, stopping only to let individuals off or to pick up new individuals heading in the ...

  8. Spreadsheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreadsheet

    Most cell references indicate another cell in the same spreadsheet, but a cell reference can also refer to a cell in a different sheet within the same spreadsheet, or (depending on the implementation) to a cell in another spreadsheet entirely, or a value from a remote application.

  9. Macro (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Another, less common, use of macros is to do the reverse: to map a sequence of instructions to a macro string. This was the approach taken by the STAGE2 Mobile Programming System , which used a rudimentary macro compiler (called SIMCMP) to map the specific instruction set of a given computer into machine-independent macros.
