    In the top figure the fraction 1/9000 in Excel is displayed. Although this number has a decimal representation that is an infinite string of ones, Excel displays only the leading 15 figures. In the second line, the number one is added to the fraction, and again Excel displays only 15 figures.

  3. Endianness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness

    An attempt to read such a file using Fortran on a system of the other endianness results in a run-time error, because the count fields are incorrect. Unicode text can optionally start with a byte order mark (BOM) to signal the endianness of the file or stream. Its code point is U+FEFF.

  4. Data cleansing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_cleansing

    Data cleansing or data cleaning is the process of identifying and correcting (or removing) corrupt, inaccurate, or irrelevant records from a dataset, table, or database.It involves detecting incomplete, incorrect, or inaccurate parts of the data and then replacing, modifying, or deleting the affected data.

  5. Data validation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_validation

    File existence check Checks that a file with a specified name exists. This check is essential for programs that use file handling. Format check Checks that the data is in a specified format (template), e.g., dates have to be in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Regular expressions may be used for this kind of validation. Presence check

  6. Comma-separated values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values

    Comma separated files are used for the interchange of database information between machines of two different architectures. The plain-text character of CSV files largely avoids incompatibilities such as byte-order and word size. The files are largely human-readable, so it is easier to deal with them in the absence of perfect documentation or ...

    where n is the number of keys, m is the number of buckets, and b j is the number of items in bucket j. A ratio within one confidence interval (such as 0.95 to 1.05) is indicative that the hash function evaluated has an expected uniform distribution.

    level-number type OCCURS min-size TO max-size «TIMES» DEPENDING «ON» size. [e] ^a In most expressions (except the sizeof and & operators), values of array types in C are automatically converted to a pointer of its first argument.

  9. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    One discrete problem that is expensive to solve on many computers is that of counting the number of bits that are set to 1 in a (binary) number, sometimes called the population function. For example, the decimal number "37" is "00100101" in binary, so it contains three bits that are set to binary "1". [7]: 282
