  2. Boxing (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_(computer_programming)

    Unboxing the object also returns a copy of the stored value. Repeated boxing and unboxing of objects can have a severe performance impact, because boxing dynamically allocates new objects and unboxing (if the boxed value is no longer used) then makes them eligible for garbage collection. However, modern garbage collectors such as the default ...

  3. Word2vec - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec

    This facet of word2vec has been exploited in a variety of other contexts. For example, word2vec has been used to map a vector space of words in one language to a vector space constructed from another language. Relationships between translated words in both spaces can be used to assist with machine translation of new words. [27]

  4. Bounds checking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounds_checking

    The JS++ programming language is able to analyze if an array index or map key is out-of-bounds at compile time using existent types, which is a nominal type describing whether the index or key is within-bounds or out-of-bounds and guides code generation. Existent types have been shown to add only 1ms overhead to compile times.

  5. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_structure)

    The base index of an array can be freely chosen. Usually programming languages allowing n-based indexing also allow negative index values and other scalar data types like enumerations, or characters may be used as an array index. Using zero based indexing is the design choice of many influential programming languages, including C, Java and Lisp ...

  6. Mask (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_(computing)

    To create an index from the output of the function, a modulo can be taken to reduce the size of the domain to match the size of the array; however, it is often faster on many processors to restrict the size of the hash table to powers of two sizes and use a bitmask instead. An example of both modulo and masking in C:

  7. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A simple and inefficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check at each index, one by one. First, we see if there is a copy of the needle starting at the first character of the haystack; if not, we look to see if there's a copy of the needle starting at the second character of the haystack, and so forth.

  8. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    In these three, sequence types (C arrays, Java arrays and lists, and Lisp lists and vectors) are indexed beginning with the zero subscript. Particularly in C, where arrays are closely tied to pointer arithmetic, this makes for a simpler implementation: the subscript refers to an offset from the starting position of an array, so the first ...

  9. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    Switch statements function somewhat similarly to the if statement used in programming languages like C/C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET, Java and exist in most high-level imperative programming languages such as Pascal, Ada, C/C++, C#, [1]: 374–375 Visual Basic .NET, Java, [2]: 157–167 and in many other types of language, using such keywords as ...
