  2. Parity of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_zero

    In this sense, 0 is the "most even" number of all. [1] Among the general public, the parity of zero can be a source of confusion. In reaction time experiments, most people are slower to identify 0 as even than 2, 4, 6, or 8. Some teachers—and some children in mathematics classes—think that zero is odd, or both even and odd, or neither.

  3. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    Some authors prefer one-based indexing, as it corresponds more closely to how entities are indexed in other contexts. [11] Another property of this convention is in the use of modular arithmetic as implemented in modern computers. Usually, the modulo function maps any integer modulo N to one of the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., N − 1, where N ≥ 1 ...

  4. Parity bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit

    In serial data transmission, a common format is 7 data bits, an even parity bit, and one or two stop bits. That format accommodates all the 7-bit ASCII characters in an 8-bit byte. Other formats are possible; 8 bits of data plus a parity bit can convey all 8-bit byte values.

  5. Empty string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_string

    Even a string of length zero can require memory to store it, depending on the format being used. In most programming languages, the empty string is distinct from a null reference (or null pointer) because a null reference points to no string at all, not even the empty string. The empty string is a legitimate string, upon which most string ...

  6. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_(mathematics)

    That is, if the last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, then it is odd; otherwise it is even—as the last digit of any even number is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. The same idea will work using any even base. In particular, a number expressed in the binary numeral system is odd if its last digit is 1; and it is even if its last digit is 0.

  7. SQL syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_syntax

    SQL statements also include the semicolon (";") statement terminator. Though not required on every platform, it is defined as a standard part of the SQL grammar. Insignificant whitespace is generally ignored in SQL statements and queries, making it easier to format SQL code for readability.

  8. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    sign = 0 ; e = 1 ; s = 110010010000111111011011 (including the hidden bit) The sum of the exponent bias (127) and the exponent (1) is 128, so this is represented in the single-precision format as 0 10000000 10010010000111111011011 (excluding the hidden bit) = 40490FDB [27] as a hexadecimal number. An example of a layout for 32-bit floating point is

  9. Open Database Connectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Database_Connectivity

    For instance, a SQL statement like SELECT * FROM city could be inserted as text within C source code, and during compiling it would be converted into a custom format that directly called a function within a library that would pass the statement into the SQL system.
