  2. Exponentiation by squaring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation_by_squaring

    So this algorithm computes this number of squares and a lower number of multiplication, which is equal to the number of 1 in the binary representation of n. This logarithmic number of operations is to be compared with the trivial algorithm which requires n − 1 multiplications. This algorithm is not tail-recursive. This implies that it ...

  3. C mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_mathematical_functions

    C mathematical operations are a group of functions in the standard library of the C programming language implementing basic mathematical functions. [1] [2] All functions use floating-point numbers in one manner or another. Different C standards provide different, albeit backwards-compatible, sets of functions.

  4. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    Modular exponentiation is the remainder when an integer b (the base) is raised to the power e (the exponent), and divided by a positive integer m (the modulus); that is, c = b e mod m. From the definition of division, it follows that 0 ≤ c < m .

  5. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    The binary number system expresses any number as a sum of powers of 2, and denotes it as a sequence of 0 and 1, separated by a binary point, where 1 indicates a power of 2 that appears in the sum; the exponent is determined by the place of this 1: the nonnegative exponents are the rank of the 1 on the left of the point (starting from 0), and ...

  6. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    Horner's method can be used to convert between different positional numeral systems – in which case x is the base of the number system, and the a i coefficients are the digits of the base-x representation of a given number – and can also be used if x is a matrix, in which case the gain in computational efficiency is even greater.

  7. Type signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_signature

    Thus, calling f x, where f:: a-> b-> c, yields a new function f2:: b-> c that can be called f2 b to produce c. The actual type specifications can consist of an actual type, such as Integer , or a general type variable that is used in parametric polymorphic functions , such as a , or b , or anyType .

  8. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    A function definition starts with the name of the type of value that it returns or void to indicate that it does not return a value. This is followed by the function name, formal arguments in parentheses, and body lines in braces. In C++, a function declared in a class (as non-static) is called a member function or method.

  9. Multiplicative function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_function

    In number theory, a multiplicative function is an arithmetic function f(n) of a positive integer n with the property that f(1) = 1 and = () whenever a and b are coprime.. An arithmetic function f(n) is said to be completely multiplicative (or totally multiplicative) if f(1) = 1 and f(ab) = f(a)f(b) holds for all positive integers a and b, even when they are not coprime.
