  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    Conversely, precision can be lost when converting representations from integer to floating-point, since a floating-point type may be unable to exactly represent all possible values of some integer type. For example, float might be an IEEE 754 single precision type, which cannot represent the integer 16777217 exactly, while a 32-bit integer type ...

  3. Varchar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varchar

    A VARCHAR or variable character field is a set of character data of indeterminate length. The term varchar refers to a data type of a field (or column ) in a database which can hold letters and numbers.

  4. List of CIL instructions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CIL_instructions

    Convert to an int64 (on the stack as int64) and throw an exception on overflow. Base instruction 0x85 conv.ovf.i8.un: Convert unsigned to an int64 (on the stack as int64) and throw an exception on overflow. Base instruction 0xD5 conv.ovf.u: Convert to a native unsigned int (on the stack as native int) and throw an exception on overflow. Base ...

  5. Data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type

    The standard type hierarchy of Python 3. In computer science and computer programming, a data type (or simply type) is a collection or grouping of data values, usually specified by a set of possible values, a set of allowed operations on these values, and/or a representation of these values as machine types. [1]

  6. Data conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_conversion

    For example, it is possible to convert Cyrillic text from KOI8-R to Windows-1251 using a lookup table between the two encodings, but the modern approach is to convert the KOI8-R file to Unicode first and from that to Windows-1251. This is a more manageable approach; rather than needing lookup tables for all possible pairs of character encodings ...

    For an example, see Case (SQL). Support for alterations of schema definitions via ALTER and DROP. Bindings for C, Ada, and MUMPS. New features for user privileges. New integrity-checking functionality such as within a CHECK constraint. A new information schema—read-only views about database metadata like what tables it contains, etc.

  8. Variable-length quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_quantity

    A variable-length quantity (VLQ) is a universal code that uses an arbitrary number of binary octets (eight-bit bytes) to represent an arbitrarily large integer. A VLQ is essentially a base-128 representation of an unsigned integer with the addition of the eighth bit to mark continuation of bytes. VLQ is identical to LEB128 except in endianness ...

  9. Computer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

    Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages.
