    The American mathematician Richard Hamming pioneered this field in the 1940s and invented the first error-correcting code in 1950: the Hamming (7,4) code. [ 5 ] FEC can be applied in situations where re-transmissions are costly or impossible, such as one-way communication links or when transmitting to multiple receivers in multicast .

    (The standard requires a "type that holds any wide character", which on Windows no longer holds true since the UCS-2 to UTF-16 shift. This was recognized as a defect in the standard and fixed in C++.) [4] C++11 and C11 add two types with explicit widths char16_t and char32_t. [5] Variable-width encodings can be used in both byte strings and ...

  5. Access modifiers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_modifiers

    Access modifiers are a specific part of programming language syntax used to facilitate the encapsulation of components. [1] In C++, there are only three access modifiers. C# extends the number of them to six, [2] while Java has four access modifiers, but three keywords for this purpose. In Java, having no keyword before defaults to the package ...

    For example, using an AutoNumber field for a customer ID might reveal information that it is desirable not to reveal to, say, customer number 6. This is one example of occasion where the start value of an AutoNumber field is raised, so that customer number 6 has, say, AutoNumber field value 10006.

    Portable number: For most signals the corresponding signal number is implementation-defined. This column lists the numbers specified in the POSIX standard. [10] Actions explained: Terminate – Abnormal termination of the process. The process is terminated with all the consequences of _exit() except that the status made available to wait() and ...
