  2. Hash function - Wikipedia

    The same technique can be used to map two-letter country codes like "us" or "za" to country names (26 2 = 676 table entries), 5-digit ZIP codes like 13083 to city names (100 000 entries), etc. Invalid data values (such as the country code "xx" or the ZIP code 00000) may be left undefined in the table or mapped to some appropriate "null" value.

  3. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    Unfortunately, most programming languages make the latter much easier to write (X % r), so it is very commonly used. The generator is not sensitive to the choice of c, as long as it is relatively prime to the modulus (e.g. if m is a power of 2, then c must be odd), so the value c=1 is commonly chosen.

  4. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  5. Deterministic algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_algorithm

    For this reason, most programming languages and especially functional programming languages make an effort to prevent the above events from happening except under controlled conditions. The prevalence of multi-core processors has resulted in a surge of interest in determinism in parallel programming and challenges of non-determinism have been ...

  6. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    However, most root-finding algorithms do not guarantee that they will find all roots of a function, and if such an algorithm does not find any root, that does not necessarily mean that no root exists. Most numerical root-finding methods are iterative methods, producing a sequence of numbers that ideally converges towards a root as a limit.

  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. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    In Java, lazy evaluation can be done by using objects that have a method to evaluate them when the value is needed. The body of this method must contain the code required to perform this evaluation. Since the introduction of lambda expressions in Java SE8, Java has supported a compact

  9. Nonlinear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_programming

    SciPy (de facto standard for scientific Python) has scipy.optimize solver, which includes several nonlinear programming algorithms (zero-order, first order and second order ones). IPOPT (C++ implementation, with numerous interfaces including C, Fortran, Java, AMPL, R, Python, etc.) is an interior point method solver (zero-order, and optionally ...
