  2. Successor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successor_function

    The successor function is one of the basic components used to build a primitive recursive function. Successor operations are also known as zeration in the context of a zeroth hyperoperation: H 0 (a, b) = 1 + b. In this context, the extension of zeration is addition, which is defined as repeated succession.

  3. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    Starting with Python 3.12, the built-in "sum()" function uses the Neumaier summation. [ 25 ] In the Julia language, the default implementation of the sum function does pairwise summation for high accuracy with good performance, [ 26 ] but an external library provides an implementation of Neumaier's variant named sum_kbn for the cases when ...

  4. Functional programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

    The distinction between the two is subtle: "higher-order" describes a mathematical concept of functions that operate on other functions, while "first-class" is a computer science term for programming language entities that have no restriction on their use (thus first-class functions can appear anywhere in the program that other first-class ...

    The decorator pattern is a design pattern used in statically-typed object-oriented programming languages to allow functionality to be added to objects at run time; Python decorators add functionality to functions and methods at definition time, and thus are a higher-level construct than decorator-pattern classes.

  6. Sum of normally distributed random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_normally...

    Extensions of this result can be made for more than two random variables, using the covariance matrix. Note that the condition that X and Y are known to be jointly normally distributed is necessary for the conclusion that their sum is normally distributed to apply.

  7. Augmented assignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_assignment

    Augmented assignment (or compound assignment) is the name given to certain assignment operators in certain programming languages (especially those derived from C).An augmented assignment is generally used to replace a statement where an operator takes a variable as one of its arguments and then assigns the result back to the same variable.

  8. Primitive recursive function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_recursive_function

    For example, addition and division, the factorial and exponential function, and the function which returns the nth prime are all primitive recursive. [1] In fact, for showing that a computable function is primitive recursive, it suffices to show that its time complexity is bounded above by a primitive recursive function of the input size. [ 2 ]
