  2. Soundex - Wikipedia

    Map all occurrences of a, e, i, o, u, y, h, w. to zero(0) Replace all consonants (include the first letter) with digits as in [2.] above. Replace all adjacent same digits with one digit, and then remove all the zero (0) digits; If the saved letter's digit is the same as the resulting first digit, remove the digit (keep the letter).

  3. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

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

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  4. Spell checker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spell_checker

    Spell checkers can use approximate string matching algorithms such as Levenshtein distance to find correct spellings of misspelled words. [1] An alternative type of spell checker uses solely statistical information, such as n-grams, to recognize errors instead of correctly-spelled words. This approach usually requires a lot of effort to obtain ...

    Double data entry is considered to be the goldstandard approach, although even when ruled important, it is described emotionally as "laborious". [2] However, as double-entry needs to be carried out by two separate data entry officers, the expenses associated with double data entry are substantial.

    Thus, declaring const string testUserName = "John" is better than several occurrences of the 'magic value' "John" in a test suite. For example, if it is required to randomly shuffle the values in an array representing a standard pack of playing cards, this pseudocode does the job using the Fisher–Yates shuffle algorithm:

  7. Software bug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug

    A software bug is a design defect in computer software.A computer program with many or serious bugs may be described as buggy.. The effects of a software bug range from minor (such as a misspelled word in the user interface) to severe (such as frequent crashing).

  8. Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_string-search...

    The Boyer–Moore algorithm searches for occurrences of P in T by performing explicit character comparisons at different alignments. Instead of a brute-force search of all alignments (of which there are ⁠ n − m + 1 {\displaystyle n-m+1} ⁠ ), Boyer–Moore uses information gained by preprocessing P to skip as many alignments as possible.

  9. Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    In computer science, the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm (or KMP algorithm) is a string-searching algorithm that searches for occurrences of a "word" W within a main "text string" S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to determine where the next match could begin, thus bypassing re-examination of previously matched characters.
