  2. Off-side rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-side_rule

    The off-side rule describes syntax of a computer programming language that defines the bounds of a code block via indentation. [1] [2]The term was coined by Peter Landin, possibly as a pun on the offside law in association football.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero. Round-to-nearest : f l ( x ) {\displaystyle fl(x)} is set to the nearest floating-point number to x {\displaystyle x} . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal to 0) is used.

  5. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. [33] Python is dynamically type-checked and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional ...

  6. Zen of Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python

    The Zen of Python is a collection of 19 "guiding principles" for writing computer programs that influence the design of the Python programming language. [1] Python code that aligns with these principles is often referred to as "Pythonic". [2] Software engineer Tim Peters wrote this set of principles and posted it on the Python mailing list in ...

  7. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    In the example from "Double rounding" section, rounding 9.46 to one decimal gives 9.4, which rounding to integer in turn gives 9. With binary arithmetic, this rounding is also called "round to odd" (not to be confused with "round half to odd"). For example, when rounding to 1/4 (0.01 in binary), x = 2.0 ⇒ result is 2 (10.00 in binary)

  8. Stemming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming

    Stemming is performed by inputting an inflected form to the trained model and having the model produce the root form according to its internal ruleset, which again is similar to suffix stripping and lemmatisation, except that the decisions involved in applying the most appropriate rule, or whether or not to stem the word and just return the ...

  9. Floating-point error mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_error...

    Variable length arithmetic represents numbers as a string of digits of a variable's length limited only by the memory available. Variable-length arithmetic operations are considerably slower than fixed-length format floating-point instructions.
