  2. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    If the variable has a signed integer type, a program may make the assumption that a variable always contains a positive value. An integer overflow can cause the value to wrap and become negative, which violates the program's assumption and may lead to unexpected behavior (for example, 8-bit integer addition of 127 + 1 results in −128, a two's ...

  3. Bitwise operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

    Another example is a pseudocode implementation of addition, showing how to calculate a sum of two integers a and b using bitwise operators and zero-testing: while a ≠ 0 c ← b and a b ← b xor a left shift c by 1 a ← c return b

  4. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    Declarative solutions are easier to understand than imperative solutions, [12] and there has been a long-term trend from imperative to declarative methods. [13] [14] Formula calculators are part of this trend. Many software tools for the general user, such as spreadsheets, are declarative. Formula calculators are examples of such tools.

  5. XOR swap algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_swap_algorithm

    Using the XOR swap algorithm to exchange nibbles between variables without the use of temporary storage. In computer programming, the exclusive or swap (sometimes shortened to XOR swap) is an algorithm that uses the exclusive or bitwise operation to swap the values of two variables without using the temporary variable which is normally required.

  6. Partition problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_problem

    In number theory and computer science, the partition problem, or number partitioning, [1] is the task of deciding whether a given multiset S of positive integers can be partitioned into two subsets S 1 and S 2 such that the sum of the numbers in S 1 equals the sum of the numbers in S 2.

  7. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    Therefore, the smallest difference between two x solutions is b/g, whereas the smallest difference between two y solutions is a/g. Thus, the solutions may be expressed as x = x 1 − bu/g y = y 1 + au/g. By allowing u to vary over all possible integers, an infinite family of solutions can be generated from a single solution (x 1, y 1).

  8. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    From a computational point of view, it is faster to solve the variables in reverse order, a process known as back-substitution. One sees the solution is z = −1 , y = 3 , and x = 2 . So there is a unique solution to the original system of equations.

    In other words, multiply the remainder by 100 and add the two digits. This will be the current value c. Find p, y and x, as follows: Let p be the part of the root found so far, ignoring any decimal point. (For the first step, p = 0.) Determine the greatest digit x such that (+). We will use a new variable y = x(20p + x).
