    Here the 'IEEE 754 double value' resulting of the 15 bit figure is 3.330560653658221E-15, which is rounded by Excel for the 'user interface' to 15 digits 3.33056065365822E-15, and then displayed with 30 decimals digits gets one 'fake zero' added, thus the 'binary' and 'decimal' values in the sample are identical only in display, the values ...

    The following function takes a card number, including the check digit, as an array of integers and outputs true if the check digit is correct, false otherwise. function isValid(cardNumber[1..length]) sum := 0 parity := length mod 2 for i from 1 to length do if i mod 2 != parity then sum := sum + cardNumber[i] elseif cardNumber[i] > 4 then sum ...

    In 493 AD, Victorius of Aquitaine wrote a 98-column multiplication table which gave (in Roman numerals) the product of every number from 2 to 50 times and the rows were "a list of numbers starting with one thousand, descending by hundreds to one hundred, then descending by tens to ten, then by ones to one, and then the fractions down to 1/144 ...

  5. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    The final digit of a Universal Product Code, International Article Number, Global Location Number or Global Trade Item Number is a check digit computed as follows: [3] [4]. Add the digits in the odd-numbered positions from the left (first, third, fifth, etc.—not including the check digit) together and multiply by three.

  6. Verhoeff algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verhoeff_algorithm

    The inverse table inv represents the multiplicative inverse of a digit, that is, the value that satisfies d(j, inv(j)) = 0. The permutation table p applies a permutation to each digit based on its position in the number. This is actually a single permutation (1 5 8 9 4 2 7 0)(3 6) applied iteratively; i.e. p(i+j,n) = p(i, p(j,n)).

  7. Uniqueness quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniqueness_quantification

    In mathematics and logic, the term "uniqueness" refers to the property of being the one and only object satisfying a certain condition. [1] This sort of quantification is known as uniqueness quantification or unique existential quantification, and is often denoted with the symbols "∃!"

  8. Fixed-point combinator - Wikipedia

    (Here we use the standard notations and conventions of lambda calculus: Y is a function that takes one argument f and returns the entire expression following the first period; the expression . ( ) denotes a function that takes one argument x, thought of as a function, and returns the expression ( ), where ( ) denotes x applied to itself ...

    the use of 2 to check whether a number is even or odd, as in isEven = (x % 2 == 0), where % is the modulo operator the use of simple arithmetic constants, e.g., in expressions such as circumference = 2 * Math.PI * radius , [ 1 ] or for calculating the discriminant of a quadratic equation as d = b^2 − 4*a*c
