  2. Collection (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collection_(abstract_data...

    In computer programming, a collection is an abstract data type that is a grouping of items that can be used in a polymorphic way. Often, the items are of the same data type such as int or string . Sometimes the items derive from a common type; even deriving from the most general type of a programming language such as object or variant .

  3. Garbage collection (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection...

    Some garbage collection systems using reference counting (like the one in CPython) use specific cycle-detecting algorithms to deal with this issue. [15] Another strategy is to use weak references for the "backpointers" which create cycles. Under reference counting, a weak reference is similar to a weak reference under a tracing garbage collector.

  4. Entity component system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_component_system

    The ECS uses composition, rather than inheritance trees. An entity will be typically made up of an ID and a list of components that are attached to it. Any game object can be created by adding the correct components to an entity. This allows the developer to easily add features to an entity, without any dependency issues.

    C# is a programming language. The following is a list of software programmed in it: Banshee, a cross-platform open-source media player. Beagle, a search system for Linux and other Unix-like systems. Colectica, a suite of programs for use in managing official statistics and statistical surveys using open standards.

  6. Collection development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collection_development

    The collections grid is a model to discuss items in a collection in terms of their uniqueness, and the amount of care or stewardship they attract. [16] For example, rare books and local history materials are held in few libraries and attract much care as the jewels of a collection, whereas books and DVDs are held in many libraries and do not ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Java_and_C++

    Java offers automatic garbage collection, which may be bypassed in specific circumstances via the Real time Java specification. Memory management in C++ is usually done via constructors, destructors, and smart pointers. The C++ standard permits garbage collection, but does not require it. Garbage collection is rarely used in practice.

  8. Trie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie

    While basic trie implementations can be memory-intensive, various optimization techniques such as compression and bitwise representations have been developed to improve their efficiency. A notable optimization is the radix tree, which provides more efficient prefix-based storage.

  9. Convex hull algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull_algorithms

    Insertion of a point may increase the number of vertices of a convex hull at most by 1, while deletion may convert an n-vertex convex hull into an n-1-vertex one. The online version may be handled with O(log n) per point, which is asymptotically optimal. The dynamic version may be handled with O(log 2 n) per operation. [1]
