  2. Rational data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_data_type

    Applying the arithmetic operations *, +, -, /, to fractions returns a reduced fraction. With external libraries: For C & C++ there are projects like the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library. The Apache Commons Math library provides rational numbers for Java with its Fraction class.

  3. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    The order of operations, that is, the order in which the operations in an expression are usually performed, results from a convention adopted throughout mathematics, science, technology and many computer programming languages. It is summarized as: [2] [5] Parentheses; Exponentiation; Multiplication and division; Addition and subtraction

  4. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    The elementary functions are constructed by composing arithmetic operations, the exponential function (), the natural logarithm (), trigonometric functions (,), and their inverses. The complexity of an elementary function is equivalent to that of its inverse, since all elementary functions are analytic and hence invertible by means of Newton's ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numerical_libraries

    Matrix Toolkit Java is a linear algebra library based on BLAS and LAPACK. ojAlgo is an open source Java library for mathematics, linear algebra and optimisation. exp4j is a small Java library for evaluation of mathematical expressions. SuanShu is an open-source Java math library. It supports numerical analysis, statistics and optimization.

  6. Primitive recursive function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_recursive_function

    An example of a primitive recursive programming language is one that contains basic arithmetic operators (e.g. + and −, or ADD and SUBTRACT), conditionals and comparison (IF-THEN, EQUALS, LESS-THAN), and bounded loops, such as the basic for loop, where there is a known or calculable upper bound to all loops (FOR i FROM 1 TO n, with neither i ...

  7. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

    This helps to simplify mathematical computations by reducing the number of basic arithmetic operations needed to perform calculations. [48] The additive identity element is 0 and the additive inverse of a number is the negative of that number. For instance, + = and + =. Addition is both commutative and associative.

  8. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    Pointer arithmetic, that is, the ability to modify a pointer's target address with arithmetic operations (as well as magnitude comparisons), is restricted by the language standard to remain within the bounds of a single array object (or just after it), and will otherwise invoke undefined behavior.

  9. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    In mathematics, a basic algebraic operation is any one of the common operations of elementary algebra, which include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to a whole number power, and taking roots (fractional power). [5] These operations may be performed on numbers, in which case they are often called arithmetic operations.
