  2. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. [33] Python is dynamically type-checked and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional ...

  3. Dictionary coder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_coder

    A dictionary coder, also sometimes known as a substitution coder, is a class of lossless data compression algorithms which operate by searching for matches between the text to be compressed and a set of strings contained in a data structure (called the 'dictionary') maintained by the encoder. When the encoder finds such a match, it substitutes ...

  4. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    Note how the use of A[i][j] with multi-step indexing as in C, as opposed to a neutral notation like A(i,j) as in Fortran, almost inevitably implies row-major order for syntactic reasons, so to speak, because it can be rewritten as (A[i])[j], and the A[i] row part can even be assigned to an intermediate variable that is then indexed in a separate expression.

  5. LZ77 and LZ78 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78

    Entry 1 is an 'A' (followed by "entry 0" – nothing) so AB is added to the output. Next 0B is added to the dictionary as the next entry, 3 {0,B} , and B (preceded by nothing) is added to the output. Finally a dictionary entry for 1$ is created and A$ is output resulting in A AB B A$ or AABBA removing the spaces and EOF marker.

  6. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    When the cards are sorted by rank with a stable sort, the two 5s must remain in the same order in the sorted output that they were originally in. When they are sorted with a non-stable sort, the 5s may end up in the opposite order in the sorted output. Stable sort algorithms sort equal elements in the same order that they appear in the input.

  7. Iterator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterator

    In computer programming, an iterator is an object that progressively provides access to each item of a collection, in order. [1] [2] [3]A collection may provide multiple iterators via its interface that provide items in different orders, such as forwards and backwards.

  8. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    Timsort is a stable sorting algorithm (order of elements with same key is kept) and strives to perform balanced merges (a merge thus merges runs of similar sizes). In order to achieve sorting stability, only consecutive runs are merged. Between two non-consecutive runs, there can be an element with the same key inside the runs.

  9. Dynamic dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_dispatch

    In computer science, dynamic dispatch is the process of selecting which implementation of a polymorphic operation (method or function) to call at run time.It is commonly employed in, and considered a prime characteristic of, object-oriented programming (OOP) languages and systems.
