  2. Counting sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort

    The other two for loops, and the initialization of the output array, each take O(n) time. Therefore, the time for the whole algorithm is the sum of the times for these steps, O(n + k). [1] [2] Because it uses arrays of length k + 1 and n, the total space usage of the algorithm is also O(n + k). [1]

  3. Selection sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort

    Selection sort. In computer science, selection sort is an in-place comparison sorting algorithm. It has an O (n2) time complexity, which makes it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than the similar insertion sort. Selection sort is noted for its simplicity and has performance advantages over more complicated algorithms in ...

  4. Variadic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variadic_function

    In mathematics and in computer programming, a variadic function is a function of indefinite arity, i.e., one which accepts a variable number of arguments.Support for variadic functions differs widely among programming languages.

  5. Prefix sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum

    Prefix sums are trivial to compute in sequential models of computation, by using the formula y i = y i − 1 + x i to compute each output value in sequence order. However, despite their ease of computation, prefix sums are a useful primitive in certain algorithms such as counting sort, [1] [2] and they form the basis of the scan higher-order function in functional programming languages.

  6. Luhn algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm

    The Luhn algorithm or Luhn formula, also known as the "modulus 10" or "mod 10" algorithm, named after its creator, IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn, is a simple check digit formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers.

  7. Maximum subarray problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_subarray_problem

    In this case, the array from which samples are taken is [2, 3, -1, -20, 5, 10]. In computer science, the maximum sum subarray problem, also known as the maximum segment sum problem, is the task of finding a contiguous subarray with the largest sum, within a given one-dimensional array A [1...n] of numbers. It can be solved in time and space.

  8. List comprehension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_comprehension

    Here, the list [0..] represents , x^2>3 represents the predicate, and 2*x represents the output expression.. List comprehensions give results in a defined order (unlike the members of sets); and list comprehensions may generate the members of a list in order, rather than produce the entirety of the list thus allowing, for example, the previous Haskell definition of the members of an infinite list.

  9. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    Folds can be regarded as consistently replacing the structural components of a data structure with functions and values. Lists, for example, are built up in many functional languages from two primitives: any list is either an empty list, commonly called nil ([]), or is constructed by prefixing an element in front of another list, creating what is called a cons node ( Cons(X1,Cons(X2,Cons ...
