  2. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both).. Most programming languages that have a string datatype will have some string functions although there may be other low-level ways within each language to handle strings directly.

  3. Fork (software development) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(software_development)

    The word "fork" has been used to mean "to divide in branches, go separate ways" as early as the 14th century. [2] In the software environment, the word evokes the fork system call, which causes a running process to split itself into two (almost) identical copies that (typically) diverge to perform different tasks.

  4. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  5. k-d tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-d_tree

    This form of k-d tree allows a variety of split mechanics other than the standard median split. The midpoint splitting rule [18] selects on the middle of the longest axis of the space being searched, regardless of the distribution of points. This guarantees that the aspect ratio will be at most 2:1, but the depth is dependent on the ...

  6. Shamir's secret sharing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_secret_sharing

    The secret is split into multiple shares, which individually do not give any information about the secret. To reconstruct a secret secured by SSS, a number of shares is needed, called the threshold. No information about the secret can be gained from any number of shares below the threshold (a property called perfect secrecy).

  7. R*-tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R*-tree

    When splitting, the R*-tree uses a topological split that chooses a split axis based on perimeter, then minimizes overlap. In addition to an improved split strategy, the R*-tree also tries to avoid splits by reinserting objects and subtrees into the tree, inspired by the concept of balancing a B-tree .

  8. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision not completely backward-compatible with earlier versions. Python 2.7.18, released in 2020, was the last release of Python 2. [37] Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages, and has gained widespread use in the machine learning community. [38] [39] [40] [41]

  9. Stackless Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stackless_Python

    Stackless Python, or Stackless, is a Python programming language interpreter, so named because it avoids depending on the C call stack for its own stack. In practice, Stackless Python uses the C stack, but the stack is cleared between function calls. [ 2 ]
