  2. Array slicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_slicing

    Thus, if we have a vector containing elements (2, 5, 7, 3, 8, 6, 4, 1), and we want to create an array slice from the 3rd to the 6th items, we get (7, 3, 8, 6). In programming languages that use a 0-based indexing scheme, the slice would be from index 2 to 5. Reducing the range of any index to a single value effectively eliminates that index.

  3. Map (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_(higher-order_function)

    In many programming languages, map is a higher-order function that applies a given function to each element of a collection, e.g. a list or set, returning the results in a collection of the same type.

  4. 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.

  5. Data Matrix - Wikipedia

    A Data Matrix on a Mini PCI card, encoding the serial number 15C06E115AZC72983004. The most popular application for Data Matrix is marking small items, due to the code's ability to encode fifty characters in a symbol that is readable at 2 or 3 mm 2 (0.003 or 0.005 sq in) and the fact that the code can be read with only a 20% contrast ratio.

    The DROP statement destroys an existing database, table, index, or view. A DROP statement in SQL removes a component from a relational database management system (RDBMS). The types of objects that can be dropped depends on which RDBMS is being used, but most support the dropping of tables , users , and databases .

  7. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    The output is a hash code used to index a hash table holding the data or records, or pointers to them. A hash function may be considered to perform three functions: Convert variable-length keys into fixed-length (usually machine-word -length or less) values, by folding them by words or other units using a parity-preserving operator like ADD or XOR,

  8. Stack trace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_trace

    Many programming languages, including Java [3] and C#, [4] have built-in support for retrieving the current stack trace via system calls. Before std::stacktrace was added in standard library as a container for std::stacktrace_entry , pre- C++23 has no built-in support for doing this, but C++ users can retrieve stack traces with (for example ...

  9. Travelling salesman problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

    Solution of a travelling salesman problem: the black line shows the shortest possible loop that connects every red dot. In the theory of computational complexity, the travelling salesman problem (TSP) asks the following question: "Given a list of cities and the distances between each pair of cities, what is the shortest possible route that visits each city exactly once and returns to the ...
