  2. Variable-length code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_code

    Other commonly used names for this concept are prefix-free code, instantaneous code, or context-free code. The example mapping M 3 {\displaystyle M_{3}} above is not a prefix code because we do not know after reading the bit string "0" whether it encodes an "a" source symbol, or if it is the prefix of the encodings of the "b" or "c" symbols.

  3. C data types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types

    In the C programming language, data types constitute the semantics and characteristics of storage of data elements. They are expressed in the language syntax in form of declarations for memory locations or variables. Data types also determine the types of operations or methods of processing of data elements. The C language provides basic ...

Language for communicating instructions to a machine The source code for a computer program in C. The gray lines are comments that explain the program to humans. When compiled and run, it will give the output "Hello, world!". A programming language is a system of notation for writing ...

    The declaration var A: MyTable then defines a variable A of that type, which is an aggregate of eight elements, each being an integer variable identified by two indices. In the Pascal program, those elements are denoted A[1,1], A[1,2], A[2,1], …, A[4,2]. [3] Special array types are often defined by the language's standard libraries.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_array

    In computer programming, a variable-length array (VLA), also called variable-sized or runtime-sized, is an array data structure whose length is determined at runtime, instead of at compile time. [1] In the language C , the VLA is said to have a variably modified data type that depends on a value (see Dependent type ).

    In C and C++ short, long, and long long types are required to be at least 16, 32, and 64 bits wide, respectively, but can be more. The int type is required to be at least as wide as short and at most as wide as long , and is typically the width of the word size on the processor of the machine (i.e. on a 32-bit machine it is often 32 bits wide ...

    A pointer a pointing to the memory address associated with a variable b, i.e., a contains the memory address 1008 of the variable b.In this diagram, the computing architecture uses the same address space and data primitive for both pointers and non-pointers; this need not be the case.

    B + c 1 · i 1 + c 2 · i 2 + … + c k · i k. For example: int a[2][3]; This means that array a has 2 rows and 3 columns, and the array is of integer type. Here we can store 6 elements they will be stored linearly but starting from first row linear then continuing with second row. The above array will be stored as a 11, a 12, a 13, a 21, a 22 ...
