  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    In computer science, type conversion, [1] [2] type casting, [1] [3] type coercion, [3] and type juggling [4] [5] are different ways of changing an expression from one data type to another. An example would be the conversion of an integer value into a floating point value or its textual representation as a string , and vice versa.

  5. Winding number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winding_number

    Generally, the ray casting algorithm is a better alternative to the PIP problem as it does not require trigonometric functions, contrary to the winding number algorithm. Nevertheless, the winding number algorithm can be sped up so that it too, does not require calculations involving trigonometric functions. [ 10 ]

  6. Downcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downcasting

    In class-based programming, downcasting, or type refinement, is the act of casting a base or parent class reference, to a more restricted derived class reference. [1] This is only allowable if the object is already an instance of the derived class, and so this conversion is inherently fallible.

  7. Box2D - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box2D

    The Chipmunk physics engine (written in C) [19] and Phys2D (written in Java) [20] are both partially based on Box2D Lite. The physics engine used in SpriteKit for iOS and OS X uses Box2D internally. [21] The LiquidFun physics engine is a fork of Box2D by Google, [22] which adds fluid simulation to the engine.

  9. Symplectic integrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_integrator

    In recent decades symplectic integrator in plasma physics has become an active research topic, [9] because straightforward applications of the standard symplectic methods do not suit the need of large-scale plasma simulations enabled by the peta- to exa-scale computing hardware. Special symplectic algorithms need to be customarily designed ...
