  2. Comparison of parser generators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Comparison_of_parser_generators

    A classic example of a problem which a regular grammar cannot handle is the question of whether a given string contains correctly nested parentheses. (This is typically handled by a Chomsky Type 2 grammar, also termed a context-free grammar.)

  3. Deterministic finite automaton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_finite_automaton

    An example of a deterministic finite automaton that accepts only binary numbers that are multiples of 3. The state S 0 is both the start state and an accept state. For example, the string "1001" leads to the state sequence S 0, S 1, S 2, S 1, S 0, and is hence accepted.

  4. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    In the asymptotic setting, a family of deterministic polynomial time computable functions : {,} {,} for some polynomial p, is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG, or PRG in some references), if it stretches the length of its input (() > for any k), and if its output is computationally indistinguishable from true randomness, i.e. for any probabilistic polynomial time algorithm A, which ...

  5. Comparison of data-serialization formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data...

    1–2 bit integer interpreted as boolean. Boolean sign, plus arbitrary length 7-bit octets, parsed until most-significant bit is 0, in little-endian. The schema can set the zero-point to any arbitrary number. Unsigned skips the boolean flag.

  6. Parsing expression grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar

    A parsing expression is a kind of pattern that each string may either match or not match.In case of a match, there is a unique prefix of the string (which may be the whole string, the empty string, or something in between) which has been consumed by the parsing expression; this prefix is what one would usually think of as having matched the expression.

  7. Pseudorandom generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_generator

    In theoretical computer science and cryptography, a pseudorandom generator (PRG) for a class of statistical tests is a deterministic procedure that maps a random seed to a longer pseudorandom string such that no statistical test in the class can distinguish between the output of the generator and the uniform distribution.

  8. Flex (lexical analyser generator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex_(lexical_analyser...

    Flex (fast lexical analyzer generator) is a free and open-source software alternative to lex. [2] It is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers (also known as "scanners" or "lexers").

  9. Computation of cyclic redundancy checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_of_cyclic...

    The software to generate the lookup table is so small and fast that it is usually faster to compute them on program startup than to load precomputed tables from storage. One popular technique is to use the bit-at-a-time code 256 times to generate the CRCs of the 256 possible 8-bit bytes. [4]
