  2. Epoch (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...

  3. System time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_time

    System time is measured by a system clock, which is typically implemented as a simple count of the number of ticks that have transpired since some arbitrary starting date, called the epoch. For example, Unix and POSIX -compliant systems encode system time (" Unix time ") as the number of seconds elapsed since the start of the Unix epoch at 1 ...

  4. C date and time functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_date_and_time_functions

    The C date and time functions are a group of functions in the standard library of the C programming language implementing date and time manipulation operations. [1] They provide support for time acquisition, conversion between date formats, and formatted output to strings.

  5. Plain old CLR object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_CLR_Object

    Plain Old CLR Object is a play on the term plain old Java object from the Java EE programming world, which was coined by Martin Fowler in 2000. [2] POCO is often expanded to plain old C# object, though POCOs can be created with any language targeting the CLR. An alternative acronym sometimes used is plain old .NET object. [3]

    C# (/ ˌ s iː ˈ ʃ ɑːr p / see SHARP) [b] is a general-purpose high-level programming language supporting multiple paradigms.C# encompasses static typing, [16]: 4 strong typing, lexically scoped, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, [16]: 22 object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines.

  7. Unix time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

    Unix time [a] is a date and time representation widely used in computing. It measures time by the number of non-leap seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, the Unix epoch. For example, at midnight on 1 January 2010, Unix time was 1262304000. Unix time originated as the system time of Unix operating systems.

  8. Chronological dating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronological_dating

    Chronological dating, or simply dating, is the process of attributing to an object or event a date in the past, allowing such object or event to be located in a previously established chronology. This usually requires what is commonly known as a "dating method".

  9. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    LZW is used in GIF images, programs such as PKZIP, and hardware devices such as modems. [8] LZ methods use a table-based compression model where table entries are substituted for repeated strings of data. For most LZ methods, this table is generated dynamically from earlier data in the input. The table itself is often Huffman encoded.
