  2. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_inversion

    In mathematics, set inversion is the problem of characterizing the preimage X of a set Y by a function f, i.e., X = f −1 (Y ) = {x ∈ R n | f(x) ∈ Y }. It can also be viewed as the problem of describing the solution set of the quantified constraint "Y(f (x))", where Y( y) is a constraint, e.g. an inequality, describing the set Y.

  4. Exception handling (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling...

    Since exceptions in C++ are supposed to be exceptional (i.e. uncommon/rare) events, the phrase "zero-cost exceptions" [note 2] is sometimes used to describe exception handling in C++. Like runtime type identification (RTTI), exceptions might not adhere to C++'s zero-overhead principle as implementing exception handling at run-time requires a ...

    Otherwise, let x j be any variable that is set to a fractional value in the relaxed solution. Form two subproblems, one in which x j is set to 0 and the other in which x j is set to 1; in both subproblems, the existing assignments of values to some of the variables are still used, so the set of remaining variables becomes V i \ {x j ...

    That is, a statement such as x = expression; (i.e. the assignment of the result of an expression to a variable) clearly calls for the expression to be evaluated and the result placed in x, but what actually is in x is irrelevant until there is a need for its value via a reference to x in some later expression whose evaluation could itself be ...

    For example: x > 0 { x++ } x > 1. The example above uses the notation for including assertions used by C. A. R. Hoare in his 1969 article. [1] That notation cannot be used in existing mainstream programming languages. However, programmers can include unchecked assertions using the comment feature of their programming language. For example, in C++:

  8. Error function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_function

    n = 1 that yield a minimax approximation or bound for the closely related Q-function: Q(x) ≈ Q̃(x), Q(x) ≤ Q̃(x), or Q(x) ≥ Q̃(x) for x ≥ 0. The coefficients {( a n , b n )} N n = 1 for many variations of the exponential approximations and bounds up to N = 25 have been released to open access as a comprehensive dataset.

    The choice rule in Line 1 "generates" all subsets of the set of edges. The three constraints "weed out" the subsets that are not Hamiltonian cycles. The last of them uses the auxiliary predicate () (" is reachable from 0") to prohibit the vertices that do not satisfy this condition. This predicate is defined recursively in Lines 6 and 7.
