  2. Type punning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_punning

    Lastly we have the problem wherein the storage of the floating point data may be in big endian or little endian memory order and thus the sign bit could be in the least significant byte or the most significant byte. Therefore the use of type punning with floating point data is a questionable method with unpredictable results.

  4. Bit array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_array

    A bit array is effective at exploiting bit-level parallelism in hardware to perform operations quickly. A typical bit array stores kw bits, where w is the number of bits in the unit of storage, such as a byte or word, and k is some nonnegative integer. If w does not divide the number of bits to be stored, some space is wasted due to internal ...

  5. Trimming (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimming_(computer...

    The most popular variants of the trim function strip only the beginning or end of the string. Typically named ltrim and rtrim respectively, or in the case of Python: lstrip and rstrip. C# uses TrimStart and TrimEnd, and Common Lisp string-left-trim and string-right-trim.

  6. Array slicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_slicing

    In computer programming, array slicing is an operation that extracts a subset of elements from an array and packages them as another array, possibly in a different dimension from the original. Common examples of array slicing are extracting a substring from a string of characters, the " ell " in "h ell o", extracting a row or column from a two ...

  7. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_structure)

    Thus a one-dimensional array is a list of data, a two-dimensional array is a rectangle of data, [12] a three-dimensional array a block of data, etc. This should not be confused with the dimension of the set of all matrices with a given domain, that is, the number of elements in the array.

  8. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    array + 1 means 0x1004: the "+ 1" means to add the size of 1 int, which is 4 bytes; *array means to dereference the contents of array. Considering the contents as a memory address (0x1000), look up the value at that location (0x0002); array[i] means element number i, 0-based, of array which is translated into *(array + i).

  9. Bit numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_numbering

    Least significant bit first means that the least significant bit will arrive first: hence e.g. the same hexadecimal number 0x12, again 00010010 in binary representation, will arrive as the (reversed) sequence 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0.
