  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    The storage needs may change as a result of the conversion, including a possible loss of precision or truncation. The word cast, on the other hand, refers to explicitly changing the interpretation of the bit pattern representing a value from one type to another. For example, 32 contiguous bits may be treated as an array of 32 Booleans, a 4-byte ...

  3. Playout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playout

    Centralcasting is multi-channel playout that generally uses broadcast automation systems with broadcast programming applications. These systems generally work in a similar way, controlling video servers, video tape recorder (VTR) devices, Flexicarts, audio mixing consoles, vision mixers and video routers, and other devices using a serial communications 9-Pin Protocol (RS-232 or RS-422).

  4. "Hello, World!" program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"Hello,_World!"_program

    A "Hello, World!"program is usually a simple computer program that emits (or displays) to the screen (often the console) a message similar to "Hello, World!".A small piece of code in most general-purpose programming languages, this program is used to illustrate a language's basic syntax.

  5. MATLAB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB

    MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages. Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities.

  6. Type punning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_punning

    However, supposing that floating-point comparisons are expensive, and also supposing that float is represented according to the IEEE floating-point standard, and integers are 32 bits wide, we could engage in type punning to extract the sign bit of the floating-point number using only integer operations:

  7. Short-circuit evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation

    Short-circuit evaluation, minimal evaluation, or McCarthy evaluation (after John McCarthy) is the semantics of some Boolean operators in some programming languages in which the second argument is executed or evaluated only if the first argument does not suffice to determine the value of the expression: when the first argument of the AND function evaluates to false, the overall value must be ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_in_education

    YouTube was founded as a video sharing platform in 2005 and is now the most visited website in the US as of 2019. [1] Almost immediately after the site's launch, educational institutions, such as MIT OpenCourseWare and TED , were using it for the distribution of their content.

  9. Unary operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unary_operation

    In mathematics, a unary operation is an operation with only one operand, i.e. a single input. [1] This is in contrast to binary operations, which use two operands. [2] An example is any function ⁠: ⁠, where A is a set; the function ⁠ ⁠ is a unary operation on A.
