  2. pandas (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandas_(software)

    By default, a Pandas index is a series of integers ascending from 0, similar to the indices of Python arrays. However, indices can use any NumPy data type, including floating point, timestamps, or strings. [4]: 112 Pandas' syntax for mapping index values to relevant data is the same syntax Python uses to map dictionary keys to values.

  3. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    To use column-major order in a row-major environment, or vice versa, for whatever reason, one workaround is to assign non-conventional roles to the indexes (using the first index for the column and the second index for the row), and another is to bypass language syntax by explicitly computing positions in a one-dimensional array.

  4. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    The set ret can be saved efficiently by just storing the index i, which is the last character of the longest common substring (of size z) instead of S[(i-z+1)..i]. Thus all the longest common substrings would be, for each i in ret, S[(ret[i]-z)..(ret[i])]. The following tricks can be used to reduce the memory usage of an implementation:

  5. Dictionary coder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_coder

    A dictionary coder, also sometimes known as a substitution coder, is a class of lossless data compression algorithms which operate by searching for matches between the text to be compressed and a set of strings contained in a data structure (called the 'dictionary') maintained by the encoder. When the encoder finds such a match, it substitutes ...

  6. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    In computer science, an associative array, map, symbol table, or dictionary is an abstract data type that stores a collection of (key, value) pairs, such that each possible key appears at most once in the collection. In mathematical terms, an associative array is a function with finite domain. [1] It supports 'lookup', 'remove', and 'insert ...

  7. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    To illustrate, suppose a is the memory address of the first element of an array, and i is the index of the desired element. To compute the address of the desired element, if the index numbers count from 1, the desired address is computed by this expression: + (), where s is the size of each element. In contrast, if the index numbers count from ...

    function Union(x, y) is // Replace nodes by roots x := Find(x) y := Find(y) if x = y then return // x and y are already in the same set end if // If necessary, swap variables to ensure that // x has at least as many descendants as y if x.size < y.size then (x, y) := (y, x) end if // Make x the new root y.parent := x // Update the size of x x ...

  9. Record (computer science) - Wikipedia

    For example, an employee file might contain employee number, name, department, and salary. The employee number will be unique in the organization and will be the primary key. Depending on the storage medium and file organization, the employee number might be indexed —that is also stored in a separate file to make the lookup faster.
