  2. Dwell time (transportation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwell_time_(transportation)

    Metro rail systems attempt to solve the problem of long dwell times by designing large numbers of doors in the rolling stock. Another solution is to increase the width of doors, but that is often ineffective as there are other bottlenecks within the rail vehicle, such as stairs, or a large number of other passengers not boarding or alighting.

  3. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    A divisor of any number of digits can be used. In this example, 1260257 is to be divided by 37. First the problem is set up as follows: 37)1260257 Digits of the number 1260257 are taken until a number greater than or equal to 37 occurs. So 1 and 12 are less than 37, but 126 is greater.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    The sum of two numbers is unique; there is only one correct answer for a sums. [8] When the sum of a pair of digits results in a two-digit number, the "tens" digit is referred to as the "carry digit". [9] In elementary arithmetic, students typically learn to add whole numbers and may also learn about topics such as negative numbers and fractions.

  5. General Problem Solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Problem_Solver

    General Problem Solver (GPS) is a computer program created in 1957 by Herbert A. Simon, J. C. Shaw, and Allen Newell (RAND Corporation) intended to work as a universal problem solver machine. In contrast to the former Logic Theorist project, the GPS works with means–ends analysis .

  6. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    In computer programming, a function (also procedure, method, subroutine, routine, or subprogram) is a callable unit [1] of software logic that has a well-defined interface and behavior and can be invoked multiple times. Callable units provide a powerful programming tool. [2]

  7. Computer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

    Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages.

  8. Bus stop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_stop

    A bus stop is a place where buses stop for passengers to get on and off the bus.The construction of bus stops tends to reflect the level of usage, where stops at busy locations may have shelters, seating, and possibly electronic passenger information systems; less busy stops may use a simple pole and flag to mark the location.

  9. Halting problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

    The universal halting problem, also known (in recursion theory) as totality, is the problem of determining whether a given computer program will halt for every input (the name totality comes from the equivalent question of whether the computed function is total). This problem is not only undecidable, as the halting problem is, but highly ...
