  2. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    Divide-and-conquer approach to sort the list (38, 27, 43, 3, 9, 82, 10) in increasing order. Upper half: splitting into sublists; mid: a one-element list is trivially sorted; lower half: composing sorted sublists. The divide-and-conquer paradigm is often used to find an optimal solution of a problem.

  3. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    If n is greater than the length of the string then most implementations return the whole string (exceptions exist – see code examples). Note that for variable-length encodings such as UTF-8 , UTF-16 or Shift-JIS , it can be necessary to remove string positions at the end, in order to avoid invalid strings.

  4. Strand sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strand_sort

    The sub-list is empty, and the solution list contains {5, 9}. Step 6: Move the first element of the original list into sub-list: sub-list contains {1}. Step 7: Iterate through the original list and compare each number to 1 until there is a number greater than 1. 4 > 1, so 4 is added to the sub-list and 4 is removed from the original list.

  5. Merge algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_algorithm

    A list containing a single element is, by definition, sorted. Repeatedly merge sublists to create a new sorted sublist until the single list contains all elements. The single list is the sorted list. The merge algorithm is used repeatedly in the merge sort algorithm. An example merge sort is given in the illustration.

  6. Merge sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort

    Example C-like code using indices for top-down merge sort algorithm that recursively splits the list (called runs in this example) into sublists until sublist size is 1, then merges those sublists to produce a sorted list. The copy back step is avoided with alternating the direction of the merge with each level of recursion (except for an ...

  7. Selection sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort

    The algorithm divides the input list into two parts: a sorted sublist of items which is built up from left to right at the front (left) of the list and a sublist of the remaining unsorted items that occupy the rest of the list. Initially, the sorted sublist is empty and the unsorted sublist is the entire input list.

  8. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    The user can search for elements in an associative array, and delete elements from the array. The following shows how multi-dimensional associative arrays can be simulated in standard AWK using concatenation and the built-in string-separator variable SUBSEP:

  9. List of programming languages by type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming...

    Basically, object code for the language's interpreter needs to be linked into the executable. Source code fragments for the embedded language can then be passed to an evaluation function as strings. Application control languages can be implemented this way, if the source code is input by the user. Languages with small interpreters are preferred.
