  2. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

    Off-by-one errors are common in using the C library because it is not consistent with respect to whether one needs to subtract 1 byte – functions like fgets() and strncpy will never write past the length given them (fgets() subtracts 1 itself, and only retrieves (length − 1) bytes), whereas others, like strncat will write past the length given them.

    Let be the number of delay lines and be the number of symbols introduced by each delay line. Thus, the separation between consecutive inputs = n d {\displaystyle nd} symbols. Let the length of codeword ⩽ n . {\displaystyle \leqslant n.}

  4. Bounds checking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounds_checking

    In computer programming, bounds checking is any method of detecting whether a variable is within some bounds before it is used. It is usually used to ensure that a number fits into a given type (range checking), or that a variable being used as an array index is within the bounds of the array (index checking).

  5. Stride of an array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stride_of_an_array

    In computer programming, the stride of an array (also referred to as increment, pitch or step size) is the number of locations in memory between beginnings of successive array elements, measured in bytes or in units of the size of the array's elements. The stride cannot be smaller than the element size but can be larger, indicating extra space ...

  6. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    The register width of a processor determines the range of values that can be represented in its registers. Though the vast majority of computers can perform multiple-precision arithmetic on operands in memory, allowing numbers to be arbitrarily long and overflow to be avoided, the register width limits the sizes of numbers that can be operated on (e.g., added or subtracted) using a single ...

    Ie for DM is 301 % k is the size of the message % n is the total size (k+redundant) % Example: msg = uint8('Test') % enc_msg = rsEncoder(msg, 8, 301, 12, numel(msg)); % Get the alpha alpha = gf (2, m, prim_poly); % Get the Reed-Solomon generating polynomial g(x) g_x = genpoly (k, n, alpha); % Multiply the information by X^(n-k), or just pad ...

  8. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    A label is an explicit name or number assigned to a fixed position within the source code, and which may be referenced by control flow statements appearing elsewhere in the source code. A label marks a position within source code and has no other effect. Line numbers are an alternative to a named label used in some languages (such as BASIC).

  9. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})
