  2. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    The following is a dynamic programming implementation (with Python 3) which uses a matrix to keep track of the optimal solutions to sub-problems, and returns the minimum number of coins, or "Infinity" if there is no way to make change with the coins given. A second matrix may be used to obtain the set of coins for the optimal solution.

  3. Name–value pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name–value_pair

    Example of a web form with name-value pairs. A name–value pair, also called an attribute–value pair, keyvalue pair, or field–value pair, is a fundamental data representation in computing systems and applications. Designers often desire an open-ended data structure that allows for future extension without modifying existing code or data.

  4. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    In a well-dimensioned hash table, the average time complexity for each lookup is independent of the number of elements stored in the table. Many hash table designs also allow arbitrary insertions and deletions of keyvalue pairs, at amortized constant average cost per operation. [3] [4] [5] Hashing is an example of a space-time tradeoff.

  5. Key–value database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyvalue_database

    A tabular data card proposed for Babbage's Analytical Engine showing a keyvalue pair, in this instance a number and its base-ten logarithm. A keyvalue database, or keyvalue store, is a data storage paradigm designed for storing, retrieving, and managing associative arrays, and a data structure more commonly known today as a dictionary or hash table.

  6. Unique key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_key

    Here ID serves as the primary key in the table 'Author', but also as AuthorID serves as a Foreign Key in the table 'Book'. The Foreign Key serves as the link, and therefore the connection, between the two related tables in this sample database. In a relational database, a candidate key uniquely identifies each row of data values in a database ...

  7. Primary key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_key

    In the relational model of databases, a primary key is a designated attribute that can reliably identify and distinguish between each individual record in a table.The database creator can choose an existing unique attribute or combination of attributes from the table (a natural key) to act as its primary key, or create a new attribute containing a unique ID that exists solely for this purpose ...

  8. The Lottery Hackers - The Huffington Post

    highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/lotto...

    Lottery terminals in convenience stores could print only 10 slips of paper at a time, with up to 10 lines of numbers on each slip (at $1 per line), which meant that if you wanted to bet $100,000 on Winfall, you had to stand at a machine for hours upon hours, waiting for the machine to print 10,000 tickets.

  9. Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

    Instead of defining to represent the total value of the coins on the table, we could define to represent the count of the various coin types on the table. For instance, X 6 = 1 , 0 , 5 {\displaystyle X_{6}=1,0,5} could be defined to represent the state where there is one quarter, zero dimes, and five nickels on the table after 6 one-by-one draws.
