  2. Side effect (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_effect_(computer_science)

    Example side effects include modifying a non-local variable, a static local variable or a mutable argument passed by reference; raising errors or exceptions; performing I/O; or calling other functions with side-effects. [1] In the presence of side effects, a program's behaviour may depend on history; that is, the order of evaluation matters.

  3. Parity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_function

    Parity only depends on the number of ones and is therefore a symmetric Boolean function.. The n-variable parity function and its negation are the only Boolean functions for which all disjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 monomials of length n and all conjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 clauses of length n.

  4. Binary decision diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_decision_diagram

    The left figure below shows a binary decision tree (the reduction rules are not applied), and a truth table, each representing the function (,,).In the tree on the left, the value of the function can be determined for a given variable assignment by following a path down the graph to a terminal.

  5. NC (complexity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NC_(complexity)

    An example of problem in NC 1 is the parity check on a bit string. [6] The problem consists in counting the number of 1s in a string made of 1 and 0. A simple solution consists in summing all the string's bits.

  6. Hamming (7,4) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming(7,4)

    For example, p 2 provides an even parity for bits 2, 3, 6, and 7. It also details which transmitted bit is covered by which parity bit by reading the column. For example, d 1 is covered by p 1 and p 2 but not p 3 This table will have a striking resemblance to the parity-check matrix (H) in the next section.

  7. PPAD (complexity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPAD_(complexity)

    PPAD is a subset of the class TFNP, the class of function problems in FNP that are guaranteed to be total.The TFNP formal definition is given as follows: . A binary relation P(x,y) is in TFNP if and only if there is a deterministic polynomial time algorithm that can determine whether P(x,y) holds given both x and y, and for every x, there exists a y such that P(x,y) holds.

  8. Circuit complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_complexity

    Example Boolean circuit. The nodes are AND gates, the nodes are OR gates, and the nodes are NOT gates. In theoretical computer science, circuit complexity is a branch of computational complexity theory in which Boolean functions are classified according to the size or depth of the Boolean circuits that compute them.

  9. Natural mapping (interface design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_mapping_(interface...

    The term natural mapping comes from proper and natural arrangements for the relations between controls and their movements to the outcome from such action into the world. The real function of natural mappings is to reduce the need for any information from a user’s memory to perform a task.
