  2. Scope (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    The scope of a name binding is an entire program, which is known as global scope. Variable names with global scope—called global variables—are frequently considered bad practice, at least in some languages, due to the possibility of name collisions and unintentional masking, together with poor modularity, and function scope or block scope ...

  3. Tensor contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_contraction

    In multilinear algebra, a tensor contraction is an operation on a tensor that arises from the canonical pairing of a vector space and its dual.In components, it is expressed as a sum of products of scalar components of the tensor(s) caused by applying the summation convention to a pair of dummy indices that are bound to each other in an expression.

  4. Global variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_variable

    Variables declared with file scope are visible between their declaration and the end of the compilation unit (.c file) (unless shadowed by a like-named object in a nearer scope, such as a local variable); and they implicitly have external linkage and are thus visible to not only the .c file or compilation unit containing their declarations but ...

  5. List of programming languages by type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming...

    Procedural programming languages are based on the concept of the unit and scope (the data viewing range) of an executable code statement. A procedural program is composed of one or more units or modules, either user coded or provided in a code library; each module is composed of one or more procedures, also called a function, routine ...

  6. Automatic variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_variable

    In computer programming, an automatic variable is a local variable which is allocated and deallocated automatically when program flow enters and leaves the variable's scope. The scope is the lexical context, particularly the function or block in which a variable is defined. Local data is typically (in most languages) invisible outside the ...

  7. Sobol sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobol_sequence

    A free/open-source implementation in up to 1111 dimensions, based on the Joe and Kuo initialisation numbers, is available in C, [10] and up to 21201 dimensions in Python [11] [12] and Julia. [13] A different free/open-source implementation in up to 1111 dimensions is available for C++, Fortran 90, Matlab, and Python. [14]

  8. Lie derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie_derivative

    valid for any vector fields X and Y and any tensor field T.. Considering vector fields as infinitesimal generators of flows (i.e. one-dimensional groups of diffeomorphisms) on M, the Lie derivative is the differential of the representation of the diffeomorphism group on tensor fields, analogous to Lie algebra representations as infinitesimal representations associated to group representation ...

  9. External variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_variable

    In B, all variables must be declared, as one of auto, extrn, or implicitly as function arguments. [1] An external variable is defined outside functions, has a lifetime of the whole program execution, and introduced to function by the mean of extrn declaration. Using the following code in the tutorial as an example: [1]
