  2. Flajolet–Martin algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flajolet–Martin_algorithm

    The Flajolet–Martin algorithm is an algorithm for approximating the number of distinct elements in a stream with a single pass and space-consumption logarithmic in the maximal number of possible distinct elements in the stream (the count-distinct problem).

  3. Procedural programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_programming

    The principles of modularity and code reuse in functional languages are fundamentally the same as in procedural languages, since they both stem from structured programming. For example: Procedures correspond to functions. Both allow the reuse of the same code in various parts of the programs, and at various points of its execution.

  4. Cursor (databases) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursor_(databases)

    Before code can access the data, it must open the cursor with the OPEN statement. Directly following a successful opening, the cursor is positioned before the first row in the result set. OPEN cursor_name. Applications position cursors on a specific row in the result set with the FETCH statement. A fetch operation transfers the data of the row ...

  5. Inverted index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_index

    The purpose of an inverted index is to allow fast full-text searches, at a cost of increased processing when a document is added to the database. [2] The inverted file may be the database file itself, rather than its index. It is the most popular data structure used in document retrieval systems, [3] used on a large scale for example in search ...

  6. Multiple correspondence analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_correspondence...

    MCA is performed by applying the CA algorithm to either an indicator matrix (also called complete disjunctive table – CDT) or a Burt table formed from these variables. [citation needed] An indicator matrix is an individuals × variables matrix, where the rows represent individuals and the columns are dummy variables representing categories of the variables. [1]

  7. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  8. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_structure)

    For example, the expressions anArrayName[0] and anArrayName[9] are the first and last elements respectively. For a vector with linear addressing, the element with index i is located at the address B + c · i, where B is a fixed base address and c a fixed constant, sometimes called the address increment or stride.

  9. Computer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

    Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages.
