  2. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    The algorithm performs summation with two accumulators: sum holds the sum, and c accumulates the parts not assimilated into sum, to nudge the low-order part of sum the next time around. Thus the summation proceeds with "guard digits" in c , which is better than not having any, but is not as good as performing the calculations with double the ...

  3. Pairwise summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairwise_summation

    Pairwise summation is the default summation algorithm in NumPy [9] and the Julia technical-computing language, [10] where in both cases it was found to have comparable speed to naive summation (thanks to the use of a large base case).

  4. Flowgorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowgorithm

    Flowgorithm is a graphical authoring tool which allows users to write and execute programs using flowcharts.The approach is designed to emphasize the algorithm rather than the syntax of a specific programming language. [1]

  5. Nassi–Shneiderman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassi–Shneiderman_diagram

    A Nassi–Shneiderman diagram (NSD) in computer programming is a graphical design representation for structured programming. [1] This type of diagram was developed in 1972 by Isaac Nassi and Ben Shneiderman who were both graduate students at Stony Brook University. [2] These diagrams are also called structograms, [3] as they show a program's ...

  6. Prefix sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum

    Express each term of the final sequence y 0, y 1, y 2, ... as the sum of up to two terms of these intermediate sequences: y 0 = x 0, y 1 = z 0, y 2 = z 0 + x 2, y 3 = w 1, etc. After the first value, each successive number y i is either copied from a position half as far through the w sequence, or is the previous value added to one value in the ...

  7. Carry (arithmetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_(arithmetic)

    Here, 7 − 9 = −2, so try (10 − 9) + 7 = 8, and the 10 is got by taking ("borrowing") 1 from the next digit to the left. There are two ways in which this is commonly taught: The ten is moved from the next digit left, leaving in this example 3 − 1 in the tens column.

  8. Pseudocode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocode

    Pseudocode is commonly used in textbooks and scientific publications related to computer science and numerical computation to describe algorithms in a way that is accessible to programmers regardless of their familiarity with specific programming languages.

  9. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    When that occurs, that number is the GCD of the original two numbers. By reversing the steps or using the extended Euclidean algorithm, the GCD can be expressed as a linear combination of the two original numbers, that is the sum of the two numbers, each multiplied by an integer (for example, 21 = 5 × 105 + (−2) × 252).
