  2. de Bruijn sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence

    For example, a digital door lock with a 4-digit code (each digit having 10 possibilities, from 0 to 9) would have B (10, 4) solutions, with length 10 000. Therefore, only at most 10 000 + 3 = 10 003 (as the solutions are cyclic) presses are needed to open the lock, whereas trying all codes separately would require 4 × 10 000 = 40 000 presses.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    Computer number format. A computer number format is the internal representation of numeric values in digital device hardware and software, such as in programmable computers and calculators. [1] Numerical values are stored as groupings of bits, such as bytes and words. The encoding between numerical values and bit patterns is chosen for ...

  4. Ternary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_numeral_system

    A ternary / ˈtɜːrnəri / numeral system (also called base 3 or trinary) has three as its base. Analogous to a bit, a ternary digit is a trit (tri nary dig it). One trit is equivalent to log 2 3 (about 1.58496) bits of information. Although ternary most often refers to a system in which the three digits are all non–negative numbers ...

  5. Combinatorial number system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_number_system

    Combinatorial number system. In mathematics, and in particular in combinatorics, the combinatorial number system of degree k (for some positive integer k), also referred to as combinadics, or the Macaulay representation of an integer, is a correspondence between natural numbers (taken to include 0) N and k - combinations.

  6. 4-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-bit_computing

    4-bit computing is the use of computer architectures in which integers and other data units are 4 bits wide. 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers or data buses of that size. A group of four bits is also called a nibble and has 2 4 = 16 possible values, with a ...

  7. Quaternary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_numeral_system

    v. t. e. Quaternary / kwəˈtɜːrnəri / is a numeral system with four as its base. It uses the digits 0, 1, 2, and 3 to represent any real number. Conversion from binary is straightforward. Four is the largest number within the subitizing range and one of two numbers that is both a square and a highly composite number (the other being thirty ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_mathematics

    In a typical 6/49 game, each player chooses six distinct numbers from a range of 1–49. If the six numbers on a ticket match the numbers drawn by the lottery, the ticket holder is a jackpot winner— regardless of the order of the numbers. The probability of this happening is 1 in 13,983,816. The chance of winning can be demonstrated as ...

    Digits. Two basic conventions are in common use for some Arabic numerals: display segment A is optional for digit 6 (/), [1][2][3][4] segment F for 7 (/), and segment D for 9 (/). [1][2][3][4] Although EF () could also be used to represent digit 1, this seems to be rarely done if ever. CDEG () is occasionally encountered on older calculators to ...
