  2. Lambda calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus

    Outermost parentheses are dropped: M N instead of (M N). Applications are assumed to be left associative: M N P may be written instead of ((M N) P). [19] When all variables are single-letter, the space in applications may be omitted: MNP instead of M N P. [20] The body of an abstraction extends as far right as possible: λx.M N means λx.(M N ...

  3. Indentation style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style

    In computer programming, indentation style is a convention, a.k.a. style, governing the indentation of blocks of source code.An indentation style generally involves consistent width of whitespace (indentation size) before each line of a block, so that the lines of code appear to be related, and dictates whether to use space or tab characters for the indentation whitespace.

  4. Matrix chain multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_chain_multiplication

    The vertices on each end of a side are the dimensions of the matrix represented by that side. With n matrices in the multiplication chain there are n−1 binary operations and C n−1 ways of placing parentheses, where C n−1 is the (n−1)-th Catalan number.

  5. Bracket (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket_(mathematics)

    In elementary algebra, parentheses ( ) are used to specify the order of operations. [1] Terms inside the bracket are evaluated first; hence 2×(3 + 4) is 14, 20 ÷ (5(1 + 1)) is 2 and (2×3) + 4 is 10. This notation is extended to cover more general algebra involving variables: for example (x + y) × (x − y). Square brackets are also often ...

  6. Symbols of grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_grouping

    For example, in the expression 3(x+y) the parentheses are symbols of grouping, but in the expression (3, 5) the parentheses may indicate an open interval. The most common symbols of grouping are the parentheses and the square brackets, and the latter are usually used to avoid too many repeated parentheses.

  7. Tree traversal - Wikipedia

    May 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this message) In computer science , tree traversal (also known as tree search and walking the tree ) is a form of graph traversal and refers to the process of visiting (e.g. retrieving, updating, or deleting) each node in a tree data structure , exactly once.

  8. Comma operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_operator

    The comma operator separates expressions (which have value) in a way analogous to how the semicolon terminates statements, and sequences of expressions are enclosed in parentheses analogously to how sequences of statements are enclosed in braces: [1] (a, b, c) is a sequence of expressions, separated by commas, which evaluates to the last expression c, while {a; b; c;} is a sequence of ...

  9. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    In the separation of variables, these functions are given by solutions to = Hence, the spectral theorem ensures that the separation of variables will (when it is possible) find all the solutions. For many differential operators, such as d 2 d x 2 {\displaystyle {\frac {d^{2}}{dx^{2}}}} , we can show that they are self-adjoint by integration by ...
