  2. Cut, copy, and paste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut,_copy,_and_paste

    The functions were mapped to key combinations using the ⌘ Command key as a special modifier, which is held down while also pressing X for cut, C for copy, or V for paste. These few keyboard shortcuts allow the user to perform all the basic editing operations, and the keys are clustered at the left end of the bottom row of the standard QWERTY ...

  3. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    However, the first form keeps better numerical accuracy for large values of x, because squares of differences between x and x leads to less round-off than the differences between the much larger numbers Σ(x 2) and (Σx) 2. The built-in Excel function STDEVP, however, uses the less accurate formulation because it is faster computationally. [5]

  4. Copy-and-paste programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-and-paste_programming

    Copy and paste is a less formal alternative to classical branching, often used when it is foreseen that the branches will diverge more and more over time, as when a new product is being spun off from an existing product. As a way of spinning-off a new product, copy-and-paste programming has some advantages.

  5. Object copying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_copying

    The copy feature effects a shallow, field-by-field copy from one object to another. In this case no new object is created. In this case no new object is created. If y were copied to x , then the same objects referenced by y before the application of copy , will also be referenced by x after the copy feature completes.

  6. Reference counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting

    Operations that would replace a value with a modified copy are generally optimized to instead modify the original when its reference count indicates that it is not shared. The references are counted at a data structure level, so the problems with very frequent updates discussed above do not arise.

  7. Tracing garbage collection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_garbage_collection

    Another complication with this approach is that, in languages with both reference types and unboxed value types, the garbage collector needs to somehow be able to distinguish which variables on the stack or fields in an object are regular values and which are references: in memory, an integer and a reference might look alike. The garbage ...

  8. Zero-copy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-copy

    "Zero-copy" describes computer operations in which the CPU does not perform the task of copying data from one memory area to another or in which unnecessary data copies are avoided. This is frequently used to save CPU cycles and memory bandwidth in many time consuming tasks, such as when transmitting a file at high speed over a network, etc., thus improving the performance of programs executed by

  9. Operator-precedence parser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator-precedence_parser

    In computer science, an operator-precedence parser is a bottom-up parser that interprets an operator-precedence grammar.For example, most calculators use operator-precedence parsers to convert from the human-readable infix notation relying on order of operations to a format that is optimized for evaluation such as Reverse Polish notation (RPN).
