  2. Pairwise summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairwise_summation

    Pairwise summation is the default summation algorithm in NumPy [9] and the Julia technical-computing language, [10] where in both cases it was found to have comparable speed to naive summation (thanks to the use of a large base case).

  3. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    In functional programming, fold (also termed reduce, accumulate, aggregate, compress, or inject) refers to a family of higher-order functions that analyze a recursive data structure and through use of a given combining operation, recombine the results of recursively processing its constituent parts, building up a return value.

  4. Aggregate function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregate_function

    Common aggregate functions include: Average (i.e., arithmetic mean) Count; Maximum; Median; Minimum; Mode; Range; Sum; Others include: Nanmean (mean ignoring NaN values, also known as "nil" or "null") Stddev; Formally, an aggregate function takes as input a set, a multiset (bag), or a list from some input domain I and outputs an element of an ...

  5. Nested function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_function

    In computer programming, a nested function (or nested procedure or subroutine) is a named function that is defined within another, enclosing, block and is lexically scoped within the enclosing block – meaning it is only callable by name within the body of the enclosing block and can use identifiers declared in outer blocks, including outer ...

  6. Nesting (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    Nesting can mean: nested calls: using several levels of subroutines; recursive calls; nested levels of parentheses in arithmetic expressions; nested blocks of imperative source code such as nested if-clauses, while-clauses, repeat-until clauses etc. information hiding: nested function definitions with lexical scope

  7. Floating-point error mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_error...

    Variable length arithmetic represents numbers as a string of digits of a variable's length limited only by the memory available. Variable-length arithmetic operations are considerably slower than fixed-length format floating-point instructions.

  8. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    When an aggregate is entirely composed of the same type of primitive, the aggregate may be called an array; in a sense, a multi-byte word primitive is an array of bytes, and some programs use words in this way. A pointer is a programming concept used in computer science to reference or point to a memory location that stores a value or an object.

  9. Aggregate pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregate_pattern

    An Aggregate pattern can refer to concepts in either statistics or computer programming. Both uses deal with considering a large case as composed of smaller, simpler, pieces. Both uses deal with considering a large case as composed of smaller, simpler, pieces.
