  2. Decimal data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_data_type

    Some programming languages (or compilers for them) provide a built-in (primitive) or library decimal data type to represent non-repeating decimal fractions like 0.3 and −1.17 without rounding, and to do arithmetic on them. Examples are the decimal.Decimal or num7.Num type of Python, and analogous types provided by other languages.

  3. List of HTTP status codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

    The requested resource is available only through a proxy, the address for which is provided in the response. For security reasons, many HTTP clients (such as Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer) do not obey this status code. [10] 306 Switch Proxy No longer used. Originally meant "Subsequent requests should use the specified proxy."

  4. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Magic numbers become particularly confusing when the same number is used for different purposes in one section of code. It is easier to alter the value of the number, as it is not duplicated. Changing the value of a magic number is error-prone, because the same value is often used several times in different places within a program. [6] Also ...

  5. Don't repeat yourself - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself

    "Don't repeat yourself" (DRY), also known as "duplication is evil", is a principle of software development aimed at reducing repetition of information which is likely to change, replacing it with abstractions that are less likely to change, or using data normalization which avoids redundancy in the first place.

  6. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    For numbers with a base-2 exponent part of 0, i.e. numbers with an absolute value higher than or equal to 1 but lower than 2, an ULP is exactly 2 −23 or about 10 −7 in single precision, and exactly 2 −53 or about 10 −16 in double precision. The mandated behavior of IEEE-compliant hardware is that the result be within one-half of a ULP.

  7. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    The syntax :=, called the "walrus operator", was introduced in Python 3.8. It assigns values to variables as part of a larger expression. [106] In Python, == compares by value. Python's is operator may be used to compare object identities (comparison by reference), and comparisons may be chained—for example, a <= b <= c.

  8. First normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_normal_form

    All columns are regular [i.e. rows have no hidden components such as row IDs, object IDs, or hidden timestamps]. Violation of any of these conditions would mean that the table is not strictly relational, and therefore that it is not in first normal form. Examples of tables (or views) that would not meet this definition of first normal form are:

  9. SQLAlchemy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQLAlchemy

    SQLAlchemy is an open-source Python library that provides an SQL toolkit (called "SQLAlchemy Core") and an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) for database interactions. It allows developers to work with databases using Python objects, enabling efficient and flexible database access.
