  2. Path (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)

    A path (or filepath, file path, pathname, or similar) is a string of characters used to uniquely identify a location in a directory structure. It is composed by following the directory tree hierarchy in which components, separated by a delimiting character, represent each directory.

  3. Pathfinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathfinding

    Pathfinding or pathing is the search, by a computer application, for the shortest route between two points. It is a more practical variant on solving mazes. This field of research is based heavily on Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest path on a weighted graph.

  4. Path ordering (term rewriting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_ordering_(term_rewriting)

    Given two terms s and t, with a root symbol f and g, respectively, to decide their relation their root symbols are compared first. If f <. g, then s can dominate t only if one of s's subterms does. If f. > g, then s dominates t if s dominates each of t's subterms. If f = g, then the immediate subterms of s and t need to be compared recursively ...

  5. Symbolic execution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_execution

    In computer science, symbolic execution (also symbolic evaluation or symbex) is a means of analyzing a program to determine what inputs cause each part of a program to execute. An interpreter follows the program, assuming symbolic values for inputs rather than obtaining actual inputs as normal execution of the program would.

  6. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.

  7. diff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff

    In computing, the utility diff is a data comparison tool that computes and displays the differences between the contents of files. Unlike edit distance notions used for other purposes, diff is line-oriented rather than character-oriented, but it is like Levenshtein distance in that it tries to determine the smallest set of deletions and insertions to create one file from the other.

  8. Node (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Depth: the depth of node A is the length of the path from A to the root node. The root node is said to have depth 0. Edge: the connection between nodes. Forest: a set of trees. Height: the height of node A is the length of the longest path through children to a leaf node. Internal node: a node with at least one child. Leaf node: a node with no ...

  9. Optical path length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_path_length

    A difference in OPL between two paths is often called the optical path difference (OPD). OPL and OPD are important because they determine the phase of the light and govern interference and diffraction of light as it propagates. In a medium of constant refractive index, n, the OPL for a path of geometrical length s is just
