  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel's storage of numbers in binary format also affects its accuracy. [3] To illustrate, the lower figure tabulates the simple addition 1 + x − 1 for several values of x. All the values of x begin at the 15 th decimal, so Excel must take them into account. Before calculating the sum 1 + x, Excel first approximates x as a binary number

  3. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    To approximate the greater range and precision of real numbers, we have to abandon signed integers and fixed-point numbers and go to a "floating-point" format. In the decimal system, we are familiar with floating-point numbers of the form ( scientific notation ):

  4. Range query (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Given a function that accepts an array, a range query (,) on an array = [,..,] takes two indices and and returns the result of when applied to the subarray [, …,].For example, for a function that returns the sum of all values in an array, the range query ⁡ (,) returns the sum of all values in the range [,].

  5. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    The subset sum problem (SSP) is a decision problem in computer science. In its most general formulation, there is a multiset of integers and a target-sum , and the question is to decide whether any subset of the integers sum to precisely . [1] The problem is known to be NP-complete.

  6. 3SUM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3SUM

    In computational complexity theory, the 3SUM problem asks if a given set of real numbers contains three elements that sum to zero. A generalized version, k-SUM, asks the same question on k elements, rather than simply 3. 3SUM can be easily solved in () time, and matching (⌈ / ⌉) lower bounds are known in some specialized models of computation (Erickson 1999).

  7. Unum (number format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unum_(number_format)

    This set of points is chosen arbitrarily, and arithmetic operations involving them are not performed logically but rather by using a lookup table. The size of such a table becomes prohibitive for an encoding format spanning multiple bytes. This challenge necessitated the development of the Type III unum, known as the posit, discussed below.

  8. Maximum subarray problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_subarray_problem

    In this case, the array from which samples are taken is [2, 3, -1, -20, 5, 10]. In computer science, the maximum sum subarray problem, also known as the maximum segment sum problem, is the task of finding a contiguous subarray with the largest sum, within a given one-dimensional array A[1...n] of numbers.

  9. Sum of squares function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares_function

    The number of ways to write a natural number as sum of two squares is given by r 2 (n).It is given explicitly by = (() ())where d 1 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 1 modulo 4 and d 3 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 3 modulo 4.
