  2. Latin conditional clauses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_conditional_clauses

    The verbs in the above sentences are present subjunctive, despite the historic context, by a process called repraesentātiō, which makes the situation more vivid. [ 158 ] If the verb in an apodosis is a future perfect tense in direct speech, it cannot be expressed using an active verb, but it is possible to use or deponent or passive perfect ...

  3. If and only if - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_and_only_if

    The corresponding logical symbols are "", "", [6] and , [10] and sometimes "iff".These are usually treated as equivalent. However, some texts of mathematical logic (particularly those on first-order logic, rather than propositional logic) make a distinction between these, in which the first, ↔, is used as a symbol in logic formulas, while ⇔ is used in reasoning about those logic formulas ...

  4. Mathematical practice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_practice

    Mathematical practice comprises the working practices of professional mathematicians: selecting theorems to prove, using informal notations to persuade themselves and others that various steps in the final proof are convincing, and seeking peer review and publication, as opposed to the end result of proven and published theorems.

  5. Ternary conditional operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator

    The detailed semantics of "the" ternary operator as well as its syntax differs significantly from language to language. A top level distinction from one language to another is whether the expressions permit side effects (as in most procedural languages) and whether the language provides short-circuit evaluation semantics, whereby only the selected expression is evaluated (most standard ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Conditional_expressions

    This parser function can be used to detect whether a template parameter is defined, even if it has been set to a false value. For example, to check whether the first positional parameter has been passed to a template (note that the strings "+" and "-" can be any two different non-whitespace strings):

  8. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, parity is the property of an integer of whether it is even or odd. An integer is even if it is divisible by 2, and odd if it is not. [1] For example, −4, 0, and 82 are even numbers, while −3, 5, 7, and 21 are odd numbers.

  9. Dangling else - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_else

    The convention when dealing with the dangling else is to attach the else to the nearby if statement, [2] allowing for unambiguous context-free grammars, in particular. Programming languages like Pascal, [ 3 ] C, [ 4 ] and Java [ 5 ] follow this convention, so there is no ambiguity in the semantics of the language , though the use of a parser ...
