  2. Selection sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort

    Selection sort. In computer science, selection sort is an in-place comparison sorting algorithm. It has an O (n2) time complexity, which makes it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than the similar insertion sort. Selection sort is noted for its simplicity and has performance advantages over more complicated algorithms in ...

  3. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

    The correct number of sections for a fence is n − 1 if the fence is a free-standing line segment bounded by a post at each of its ends (e.g., a fence between two passageway gaps), n if the fence forms one complete, free-standing loop (e.g., enclosure accessible by surmounting, such as a boxing ring), or n + 1 if posts do not occur at the ends ...

  4. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For any integer n, n ≡ 1 (mod 2) if and only if 3n + 1 ≡ 4 (mod 6). Equivalently, ⁠ n − 1 / 3 ⁠ ≡ 1 (mod 2) if and only if n ≡ 4 (mod 6). Conjecturally, this inverse relation forms a tree except for the 12–4 loop (the inverse of the 4–21 loop of the unaltered function f defined in the Statement of the problem section of ...

  5. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    Think of a set of X numbered items (numbered from 1 to x), from which we choose n, yielding an ordered list of the items: e.g. if there are = items of which we choose =, the result might be the list (5, 2, 10). We then count how many different such lists exist, sometimes first transforming the lists in ways that reduce the number of distinct ...

  6. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    t. e. In computer science, a for-loop or for loop is a control flow statement for specifying iteration. Specifically, a for-loop functions by running a section of code repeatedly until a certain condition has been satisfied. For-loops have two parts: a header and a body. The header defines the iteration and the body is the code that is executed ...

  7. Topological sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_sorting

    On a parallel random-access machine, a topological ordering can be constructed in O((log n) 2) time using a polynomial number of processors, putting the problem into the complexity class NC 2. [5] One method for doing this is to repeatedly square the adjacency matrix of the given graph, logarithmically many times, using min-plus matrix ...

  8. Counting sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort

    The output is an array of the elements ordered by their keys. Because of its application to radix sorting, counting sort must be a stable sort; that is, if two elements share the same key, their relative order in the output array and their relative order in the input array should match. [1] [2]

  9. Chart of accounts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_of_accounts

    t. e. A chart of accounts (COA) is a list of financial accounts and reference numbers, grouped into categories, such as assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses, and used for recording transactions in the organization's general ledger. Accounts may be associated with an identifier (account number) and a caption or header and are coded ...
