  2. Double factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_factorial

    These are counted by the double factorial 15 = (6 − 1)‼. In mathematics, the double factorial of a number n, denoted by n‼, is the product of all the positive integers up to n that have the same parity (odd or even) as n. [1] That is,

  3. Continuation-passing style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style

    The translations shown above show that CPS is a global transformation. The direct-style factorial takes, as might be expected, a single argument; the CPS factorial& takes two: the argument and a continuation. Any function calling a CPS-ed function must either provide a new continuation or pass its own; any calls from a CPS-ed function to a non ...

  4. Factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial

    The factorial function is a common feature in scientific calculators. [73] It is also included in scientific programming libraries such as the Python mathematical functions module [74] and the Boost C++ library. [75]

  5. APL syntax and symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_syntax_and_symbols

    The programming language APL is distinctive in being symbolic rather than lexical: its primitives are denoted by symbols, not words. These symbols were originally devised as a mathematical notation to describe algorithms. [ 1 ]

  6. Hyperfactorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfactorial

    The hyperfactorials were studied beginning in the 19th century by Hermann Kinkelin [3] [4] and James Whitbread Lee Glaisher. [5] [4] As Kinkelin showed, just as the factorials can be continuously interpolated by the gamma function, the hyperfactorials can be continuously interpolated by the K-function.

  7. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.

  8. Declarative programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming

    Lisp is a family of programming languages loosely inspired by mathematical notation and Alonzo Church's lambda calculus. Some dialects, such as Common Lisp, are primarily imperative but support functional programming. Others, such as Scheme, are designed for functional programming. In Scheme, the factorial function can be defined as follows:

  9. Arbitrary-precision arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic

    Some programming languages such as Lisp, Python, Perl, Haskell, Ruby and Raku use, or have an option to use, arbitrary-precision numbers for all integer arithmetic. Although this reduces performance, it eliminates the possibility of incorrect results (or exceptions) due to simple overflow.
