  2. Template:Trim leading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Trim_leading

    New code should strongly consider {{#invoke:string|replace}} or {{#invoke:MultiReplace|main}}. For backward compatibility, both the input and pattern string are trimmed of surrounding whitespace before processing begins. This means you cannot remove three instances of "the " from "the the the thing"; instead you will remove one instance of "the".

  3. Leading zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_zero

    A leading zero is any 0 digit that comes before the first nonzero digit in a number string in positional notation. [1] For example, James Bond 's famous identifier, 007, has two leading zeros. [ 2 ] Any zeroes appearing to the left of the first non-zero digit (of any integer or decimal) do not affect its value, and can be omitted (or replaced ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Conditional_expressions

    The #if function selects one of two alternatives based on the truth value of a test string. {{#if: test string | value if true | value if false}} As explained above, a string is considered true if it contains at least one non-whitespace character. Any string containing only whitespace or no characters at all will be treated as false.

  5. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    Similarly, in the case of 0.056 m, there are two insignificant leading zeros since 0.056 m is the same as 56 mm, thus the leading zeros do not contribute to the length indication. Trailing zeros when they serve as placeholders. In the measurement 1500 m, when the measurement resolution is 100 m, the trailing zeros are insignificant as they ...

  6. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    The digit the farthest to the right (which is multiplied by 1) is the check digit, chosen to make the sum correct. It may need to have the value 10, which is represented as the letter X. For example, take the ISBN 0-201-53082-1: The sum of products is 0×10 + 2×9 + 0×8 + 1×7 + 5×6 + 3×5 + 0×4 + 8×3 + 2×2 + 1×1 = 99 ≡ 0 (mod 11). So ...

  7. Computation of cyclic redundancy checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_of_cyclic...

    If some leading 0 bits are prepended to such a message, they will not change its interpretation as a polynomial. This is equivalent to the fact that 0001 and 1 are the same number. But if the message being transmitted does care about leading 0 bits, the inability of the basic CRC algorithm to detect such a change is undesirable.

  8. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    In information theory, linguistics, and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. The Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other.

  9. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    A floating-point number system is normalized if the leading digit is always nonzero unless the number is zero. [3] Since the significand is d 0 . d 1 d 2 … d p − 1 {\displaystyle d_{0}.d_{1}d_{2}\ldots d_{p-1}} , the significand of a nonzero number in a normalized system satisfies 1 ≤ significand < β p {\displaystyle 1\leq {\text ...
