  2. C (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)

    C (pronounced / ˈsiː / – like the letter c) [6] is a general-purpose programming language. It was created in the 1970s by Dennis Ritchie and remains very widely used and influential. By design, C's features cleanly reflect the capabilities of the targeted CPUs. It has found lasting use in operating systems code (especially in kernels [7 ...

  3. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    A basic example is in the argv argument to the main function in C (and C++), which is given in the prototype as char **argv—this is because the variable argv itself is a pointer to an array of strings (an array of arrays), so *argv is a pointer to the 0th string (by convention the name of the program), and **argv is the 0th character of the ...

  4. C data types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types

    For every type T, except void and function types, there exist the types "array of N elements of type T". An array is a collection of values, all of the same type, stored contiguously in memory. An array of size N is indexed by integers from 0 up to and including N−1. Here is a brief example:

  5. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    A snippet of C code which prints "Hello, World!". The syntax of the C programming language is the set of rules governing writing of software in C. It is designed to allow for programs that are extremely terse, have a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provide relatively high-level data abstraction.

  6. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

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

    An array is stored such that the position of each element can be computed from its index tuple by a mathematical formula. [1][2][3] The simplest type of data structure is a linear array, also called one-dimensional array. For example, an array of ten 32-bit (4-byte) integer variables, with indices 0 through 9, may be stored as ten words at ...

  7. Standard array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_array

    Definition. A standard array for an [n, k]-code is a by array where: The first row lists all codewords (with the 0 codeword on the extreme left) Each row is a coset with the coset leader in the first column. The entry in the i-th row and j-th column is the sum of the i-th coset leader and the j-th codeword. For example, the [5, 2]-code = {0 ...

  8. Array programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_programming

    In computer science, array programming refers to solutions that allow the application of operations to an entire set of values at once. Such solutions are commonly used in scientific and engineering settings. Modern programming languages that support array programming (also known as vector or multidimensional languages) have been engineered ...

  9. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    Zero-based numbering is a way of numbering in which the initial element of a sequence is assigned the index 0, rather than the index 1 as is typical in everyday non-mathematical or non-programming circumstances. Under zero-based numbering, the initial element is sometimes termed the zeroth element, [ 1 ] rather than the first element; zeroth is ...
