  2. Truncation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation

    Truncation of positive real numbers can be done using the floor function. Given a number x ∈ R + {\displaystyle x\in \mathbb {R} _{+}} to be truncated and n ∈ N 0 {\displaystyle n\in \mathbb {N} _{0}} , the number of elements to be kept behind the decimal point, the truncated value of x is

  3. 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 ) .

  4. Common Lisp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp

    This is a key difference between Common Lisp and Scheme. For Common Lisp, operators that define names in the function namespace include defun , flet , labels , defmethod and defgeneric . To pass a function by name as an argument to another function, one must use the function special operator, commonly abbreviated as #' .

  5. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    In computing, a roundoff error, [1] also called rounding error, [2] is the difference between the result produced by a given algorithm using exact arithmetic and the result produced by the same algorithm using finite-precision, rounded arithmetic. [3]

  6. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

    A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...

  8. Truncation error (numerical integration) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation_error...

    The relation between local and global truncation errors is slightly different from in the simpler setting of one-step methods. For linear multistep methods, an additional concept called zero-stability is needed to explain the relation between local and global truncation errors. Linear multistep methods that satisfy the condition of zero ...

  9. Comparison of C Sharp and Visual Basic .NET - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_C_Sharp_and...

    C# and VB.NET are very different languages in syntax and history. As the name suggests, the C# syntax is based on the core C programming language originally developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs (AT&T) in the 1970s. [1] Java and C++ are two other programming languages whose syntax is also based on the C syntax, [2] so they share a common ...
