  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    Existing Eiffel software uses the string classes (such as STRING_8) from the Eiffel libraries, but Eiffel software written for .NET must use the .NET string class (System.String) in many cases, for example when calling .NET methods which expect items of the .NET type to be passed as arguments. So, the conversion of these types back and forth ...

  3. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding

    C, C++, Python, C#, Java: Similar to Base64, but modified to avoid both non-alphanumeric characters (+ and /) and letters that might look ambiguous when printed (0 – zero, I – capital i, O – capital o and l – lower-case L). Base58 is used to represent bitcoin addresses.

  4. Six-bit character code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-bit_character_code

    The TTS code had two pairs of shift codes allowing a total of four shift states. The first operated much like a keyboard's shift key and selected between a lower-case and digits repertoire, and an upper-case and symbols one. A second pair of Linotype-specific "lower rail" and "upper rail" shift codes would select an alternate (usually italic) font.

  5. Huffman coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding

    In computer science and information theory, a Huffman code is a particular type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression.The process of finding or using such a code is Huffman coding, an algorithm developed by David A. Huffman while he was a Sc.D. student at MIT, and published in the 1952 paper "A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes".

  6. Character encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding

    Punched tape with the word "Wikipedia" encoded in ASCII.Presence and absence of a hole represents 1 and 0, respectively; for example, W is encoded as 1010111.. Character encoding is the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using computers.

  7. Data conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_conversion

    Data conversion is the conversion of computer data from one format to another. Throughout a computer environment, data is encoded in a variety of ways. For example, computer hardware is built on the basis of certain standards, which requires that data contains, for example, parity bit checks.

  8. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)

    Strings are typically made up of characters, and are often used to store human-readable data, such as words or sentences.. In computer programming, a string is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable.

  9. Snake case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case

    Piece of code from a module of the Linux kernel, which uses snake case for identifiers. Snake case (sometimes stylized autologically as snake_case) is the naming convention in which each space is replaced with an underscore (_) character, and words are written in lowercase.
