  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  4. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    For instance, if Goldbach's conjecture is true but unprovable, then the result of rounding the following value, n, up to the next integer cannot be determined: either n =1+10 − k where k is the first even number greater than 4 which is not the sum of two primes, or n =1 if there is no such number. The rounded result is 2 if such a number k ...

  5. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports a wide variety of string operations. Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify ...

  6. Longest palindromic substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_palindromic_substring

    The loop at the center of the function only works for palindromes where the length is an odd number. The function works for even-length palindromes by modifying the input string. The character '|' is inserted between every character in the inputs string, and at both ends. So the input "book" becomes "|b|o|o|k|".

  7. Truncation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation

    Truncation of positive real numbers can be done using the floor function. Given a number x ∈ R + {\displaystyle x\in \mathbb {R} _{+}} to be truncated and n ∈ N 0 {\displaystyle n\in \mathbb {N} _{0}} , the number of elements to be kept behind the decimal point, the truncated value of x is

    Remember the four P's when dealing with cold: Pets, Pipes, Plants and People (elderly and young). Bring pets inside and make sure they have plenty of food and water as well.

  9. Arbitrary-precision arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic

    The 1620 was a decimal-digit machine which used discrete transistors, yet it had hardware (that used lookup tables) to perform integer arithmetic on digit strings of a length that could be from two to whatever memory was available. For floating-point arithmetic, the mantissa was restricted to a hundred digits or fewer, and the exponent was ...
