  2. Branch table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table

    Where there is no obvious integer value available for a branch table it can nevertheless be created from a search key (or part of a search key) by some form of arithmetic transformation, or could simply be the row number of a database or the entry number in an array containing the search key found during earlier validation of the key.

  3. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

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

    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, when two semantically distinct variables or numbers have the same value they may be accidentally both edited together. [6]

  4. Fortran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran

    The following program illustrates dynamic memory allocation and array-based operations, two features introduced with Fortran 90. Particularly noteworthy is the absence of DO loops and IF/THEN statements in manipulating the array; mathematical operations are applied to the array as a whole. Also apparent is the use of descriptive variable names ...

  5. Delete (SQL) - Wikipedia

    Deleting all rows from a table can be very time-consuming. Some DBMS [clarification needed] offer a TRUNCATE TABLE command that works a lot quicker, as it only alters metadata and typically does not spend time enforcing constraints or firing triggers. DELETE only deletes the rows. For deleting a table entirely the DROP command can be used.

  7. Hungarian notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation

    In C, this contains some semantic information because it is not clear whether a variable of type char* is a pointer to a single character, an array of characters or a zero-terminated string. w marks a variable that is a word. This contains essentially no semantic information at all, and would probably be considered Systems Hungarian.
