  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    In all versions of Python, boolean operators treat zero values or empty values such as "", 0, None, 0.0, [], and {} as false, while in general treating non-empty, non-zero values as true. The boolean values True and False were added to the language in Python 2.2.1 as constants (subclassed from 1 and 0 ) and were changed to be full blown ...

  3. Conditional (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    First, when the user runs the program, a cursor appears waiting for the reader to type a number. If that number is greater than 10, the text "My variable is named 'foo'." is displayed on the screen. If the number is smaller than 10, then the message "My variable is named 'bar'." is printed on the screen.

  4. Persistence of a number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_of_a_number

    In base 10, there is thought to be no number with a multiplicative persistence greater than 11; this is known to be true for numbers up to 2.67×10 30000. [1] [2] The smallest numbers with persistence 0, 1, 2, ... are: 0, 10, 25, 39, 77, 679, 6788, 68889, 2677889, 26888999, 3778888999, 277777788888899. (sequence A003001 in the OEIS)

  5. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    The relation not greater than can also be represented by , the symbol for "greater than" bisected by a slash, "not". The same is true for not less than , a ≮ b . {\displaystyle a\nless b.} The notation a ≠ b means that a is not equal to b ; this inequation sometimes is considered a form of strict inequality. [ 4 ]

  6. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    So are 1 and 2, 1 and 9, or 1 and 0.2. However, 1 and 15 are not within an order of magnitude, since their ratio is 15/1 = 15 > 10. The reciprocal ratio, 1/15, is less than 0.1, so the same result is obtained. Differences in order of magnitude can be measured on a base-10 logarithmic scale in "decades" (i.e., factors of ten). [2]

  7. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    For numbers with a base-2 exponent part of 0, i.e. numbers with an absolute value higher than or equal to 1 but lower than 2, an ULP is exactly 2 −23 or about 10 −7 in single precision, and exactly 2 −53 or about 10 −16 in double precision. The mandated behavior of IEEE-compliant hardware is that the result be within one-half of a ULP.

  8. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor(x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x, denoted ⌈x⌉ or ceil(x). [1]

  9. Relational operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_operator

    In computer science, a relational operator is a programming language construct or operator that tests or defines some kind of relation between two entities.These include numerical equality (e.g., 5 = 5) and inequalities (e.g., 4 ≥ 3).
