    Widely used in many programs, e.g. it is used in Excel 2003 and later versions for the Excel function RAND [8] and it was the default generator in the language Python up to version 2.2. [9] Rule 30: 1983 S. Wolfram [10] Based on cellular automata. Inversive congruential generator (ICG) 1986 J. Eichenauer and J. Lehn [11] Blum Blum Shub: 1986

  3. String metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_metric

    It operates between two input strings, returning a number equivalent to the number of substitutions and deletions needed in order to transform one input string into another. Simplistic string metrics such as Levenshtein distance have expanded to include phonetic, token , grammatical and character-based methods of statistical comparisons.

  4. Randomness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness_test

    There have been a fairly small number of different types of (pseudo-)random number generators used in practice. They can be found in the list of random number generators, and have included: Linear congruential generator and Linear-feedback shift register; Generalized Fibonacci generator; Cryptographic generators; Quadratic congruential generator

  5. Diehard tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diehard_tests

    The DNA test considers an alphabet of 4 letters C, G, A, T, determined by two designated bits in the sequence of random integers being tested. It considers 10-letter words, so that as in OPSO and OQSO, there are 2 20 possible words, and the mean number of missing words from a string of 2 21 (overlapping) 10-letter words (2 21 + 9 "keystrokes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)

    an expression is either an atom or a list; an atom is either a number or a symbol; a number is an unbroken sequence of one or more decimal digits, optionally preceded by a plus or minus sign; a symbol is a letter followed by zero or more of any characters (excluding whitespace); and

  7. Random password generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_password_generator

    A random password generator is a software program or hardware device that takes input from a random or pseudo-random number generator and automatically generates a password. Random passwords can be generated manually, using simple sources of randomness such as dice or coins , or they can be generated using a computer.

  8. Naming convention (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention...

    The two characters commonly used for this purpose are the hyphen ("-") and the underscore ("_"); e.g., the two-word name "two words" would be represented as "two-words" or "two_words". The hyphen is used by nearly all programmers writing COBOL (1959), Forth (1970), and Lisp (1958); it is also common in Unix for commands and packages, and is ...

  9. Word2vec - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec

    Word2vec is a technique in natural language processing (NLP) for obtaining vector representations of words. These vectors capture information about the meaning of the word based on the surrounding words.
