  2. Digital root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_root

    The digital root (also repeated digital sum) of a natural number in a given radix is the (single digit) value obtained by an iterative process of summing digits, on each iteration using the result from the previous iteration to compute a digit sum. The process continues until a single-digit number is reached.

  3. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    One example is tree traversal as in depth-first search; though both recursive and iterative methods are used, [17] they contrast with list traversal and linear search in a list, which is a singly recursive and thus naturally iterative method. Other examples include divide-and-conquer algorithms such as Quicksort, and functions such as the ...

    Therefore, those products can be computed by recursive calls of the Karatsuba algorithm. The recursion can be applied until the numbers are so small that they can (or must) be computed directly. In a computer with a full 32-bit by 32-bit multiplier, for example, one could choose B = 2 31 and store

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_algorithm

    Karatsuba multiplication is an O(n log 2 3) ≈ O(n 1.585) divide and conquer algorithm, that uses recursion to merge together sub calculations. By rewriting the formula, one makes it possible to do sub calculations / recursion. By doing recursion, one can solve this in a fast manner.

  6. Luhn algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm

    If doubling a digit results in a value > 9, subtract 9 from it (or sum its digits). Sum all the resulting digits (including the ones that were not doubled). The check digit is calculated by ( 10 − ( s mod 1 0 ) ) mod 1 0 {\displaystyle (10-(s{\bmod {1}}0)){\bmod {1}}0} , where s is the sum from step 3.

  7. Recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

    A recursive step — a set of rules that reduces all successive cases toward the base case. For example, the following is a recursive definition of a person's ancestor. One's ancestor is either: One's parent (base case), or; One's parent's ancestor (recursive step). The Fibonacci sequence is another classic example of recursion: Fib(0) = 0 as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    For example, one can add N numbers either by a simple loop that adds each datum to a single variable, or by a D&C algorithm called pairwise summation that breaks the data set into two halves, recursively computes the sum of each half, and then adds the two sums. While the second method performs the same number of additions as the first and pays ...

  9. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    The algorithm performs summation with two accumulators: sum holds the sum, and c accumulates the parts not assimilated into sum, to nudge the low-order part of sum the next time around. Thus the summation proceeds with "guard digits" in c , which is better than not having any, but is not as good as performing the calculations with double the ...
