  2. Name–value pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namevalue_pair

    Example of a web form with name-value pairs. A namevalue pair, also called an attribute–value pair, key–value pair, or field–value pair, is a fundamental data representation in computing systems and applications. Designers often desire an open-ended data structure that allows for future extension without modifying existing code or data.

  3. Data-driven programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-driven_programming

    Data-driven languages frequently have a default action: if no condition matches, line-oriented languages may print the line (as in sed), or deliver a message (as in sieve). In some applications, such as filtering, matching is may be done exclusively (so only first matching statement), while in other cases all matching statements are applied.

  4. Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_Overhead_Byte...

    It employs a particular byte value, typically zero, to serve as a packet delimiter (a special value that indicates the boundary between packets). When zero is used as a delimiter, the algorithm replaces each zero data byte with a non-zero value so that no zero data bytes will appear in the packet and thus be misinterpreted as packet boundaries.

  5. 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.

  6. Cursor (databases) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursor_(databases)

    UPDATE table_name SET ... WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name DELETE FROM table_name WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name. The cursor must operate on an updatable result set in order to successfully execute a positioned update or delete statement. Otherwise, the DBMS would not know how to apply the data changes to the underlying tables referred to in the cursor.

  7. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    This implementation uses a pointer to the first element in the list as a surrogate for the entire list. If a new value is added to the beginning of the list, head has to be changed to point to the new element. Since C arguments are always passed by value, using double indirection allows the insertion to be implemented correctly, and has the ...

  8. Missing data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_data

    In words, the observed portion of X should be independent on the missingness status of Y, conditional on every value of Z. Failure to satisfy this condition indicates that the problem belongs to the MNAR category. [22] (Remark: These tests are necessary for variable-based MAR which is a slight variation of event-based MAR. [23] [24] [25])

  9. Hash function - Wikipedia

    The same technique can be used to map two-letter country codes like "us" or "za" to country names (26 2 = 676 table entries), 5-digit ZIP codes like 13083 to city names (100 000 entries), etc. Invalid data values (such as the country code "xx" or the ZIP code 00000) may be left undefined in the table or mapped to some appropriate "null" value.
