  2. 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.

  3. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    Likewise, in PL/I a structure may be declared UNALIGNED to eliminate all padding except around bit strings. One use for such "packed" structures is to conserve memory. For example, a structure containing a single byte (such as a char) and a four-byte integer (such as uint32_t) would require three additional bytes of padding.

  4. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    A basic example is in the argv argument to the main function in C (and C++), which is given in the prototype as char **argv—this is because the variable argv itself is a pointer to an array of strings (an array of arrays), so *argv is a pointer to the 0th string (by convention the name of the program), and **argv is the 0th character of the ...

  5. Open reading frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_reading_frame

    The ORF Finder (Open Reading Frame Finder) [16] is a graphical analysis tool which finds all open reading frames of a selectable minimum size in a user's sequence or in a sequence already in the database. This tool identifies all open reading frames using the standard or alternative genetic codes.

    A possible relationship between PANDAS and other early-onset conditions. [24]PANDAS is hypothesized to be an autoimmune disorder that results in a variable combination of tics, obsessions, compulsions, and other symptoms with sudden or abrupt onset that may be severe enough to qualify for diagnoses such as chronic tic disorder, OCD, and TS.

  7. Softmax function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softmax_function

    One can normalize input scores by assuming that the sum is zero (subtract the average: where =), and then the softmax takes the hyperplane of points that sum to zero, =, to the open simplex of positive values that sum to 1 =, analogously to how the exponent takes 0 to 1, = and is positive.

    With regard to what actions the machine actually does, Turing (1936) [2] states the following: "This [example] table (and all succeeding tables of the same kind) is to be understood to mean that for a configuration described in the first two columns the operations in the third column are carried out successively, and the machine then goes over into the m-configuration in the final column."
