  2. Indirection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirection

    In computer programming, an indirection (also called a reference) is a way of referring to something using a name, reference, or container instead of the value itself. The most common form of indirection is the act of manipulating a value through its memory address .

  3. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    To use column-major order in a row-major environment, or vice versa, for whatever reason, one workaround is to assign non-conventional roles to the indexes (using the first index for the column and the second index for the row), and another is to bypass language syntax by explicitly computing positions in a one-dimensional array.

  4. Table (database) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_(database)

    In a database, a table is a collection of related data organized in table format; consisting of columns and rows.. In relational databases, and flat file databases, a table is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows, the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect. [1]

  5. Indirect self-reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_self-reference

    Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that in fact, the Scheme example above uses a quine, and f is actually the quine function itself. Indirect self-reference was studied in great depth by W. V. Quine (after whom the operation above is named), and occupies a central place in the proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorem. Among the paradoxical ...

  6. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

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

    "Column major order" is analogous with respect to the first index. In systems which use processor cache or virtual memory, scanning an array is much faster if successive elements are stored in consecutive positions in memory, rather than sparsely scattered. This is known as spatial locality, which is a type of locality of reference. Many ...

  7. Indirect utility function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_utility_function

    A consumer's indirect utility (,) can be computed from their utility function (), defined over vectors of quantities of consumable goods, by first computing the most preferred affordable bundle, represented by the vector (,) by solving the utility maximization problem, and second, computing the utility ((,)) the consumer derives from that ...

  8. Addressing mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addressing_mode

    Indirect addressing does carry a performance penalty due to the extra memory access involved. Some early minicomputers (e.g. DEC PDP-8, Data General Nova) had only a few registers and only a limited direct addressing range (8 bits). Hence the use of memory indirect addressing was almost the only way of referring to any significant amount of memory.

  9. Straight dough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_dough

    Prior to folding, the dough surfaces that are folded together should be brushed to remove excess dry flour. [24] This is also called knock back [25] or punch down, and may occur in an oiled bowl followed by a few folds, then flipped over so the seam side is down. [22] This stretching and folding develops the gluten and equalizes the dough ...
