  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  3. 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.

  4. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    In the Sixth Edition source code of the Unix program loader, the exec() function read the executable image from the file system. The first 8 bytes of the file was a header containing the sizes of the program (text) and initialized (global) data areas.

  5. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python has array index and array slicing expressions in lists, denoted as a[key], a [start: stop] or a [start: stop: step]. Indexes are zero-based, and negative indexes are relative to the end. Slices take elements from the start index up to, but not including, the stop index.

  6. Array programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_programming

    In array languages, operations are generalized to apply to both scalars and arrays. Thus, a+b expresses the sum of two scalars if a and b are scalars, or the sum of two arrays if they are arrays. An array language simplifies programming but possibly at a cost known as the abstraction penalty.

  7. Block code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_code

    The rate of a block code is defined as the ratio between its message length and its block length: = /. A large rate means that the amount of actual message per transmitted block is high.

  8. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, array is a data type that represents a collection of elements (values or variables), each selected by one or more indices (identifying keys) that can be computed at run time during program execution. Such a collection is usually called an array variable or array value. [1]

  9. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

    Off-by-one errors are common in using the C library because it is not consistent with respect to whether one needs to subtract 1 byte – functions like fgets() and strncpy will never write past the length given them (fgets() subtracts 1 itself, and only retrieves (length − 1) bytes), whereas others, like strncat will write past the length given them.
