  2. Indirect self-reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_self-reference

    Indirect self-reference describes an object referring to itself indirectly.. For example, define the function f such that f(x) = x(x). Any function passed as an argument to f is invoked with itself as an argument, and thus in any use of that argument is indirectly referring to itself.

    Convert to an int16 (on the stack as int32) and throw an exception on overflow. Base instruction 0x83 conv.ovf.i2.un: Convert unsigned to an int16 (on the stack as int32) and throw an exception on overflow. Base instruction 0xB7 conv.ovf.i4: Convert to an int32 (on the stack as int32) and throw an exception on overflow. Base instruction 0x84

  4. Indirection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirection

    In computer programming, an indirection (also called a reference) is a way of referring to something using a name, reference, or container instead of the value itself. The most common form of indirection is the act of manipulating a value through its memory address .

  5. Checkbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkbox

    A checkbox (check box, tickbox, tick box) is a graphical widget that allows the user to make a binary choice, i.e. a choice between one of two possible mutually exclusive options. For example, the user may have to answer 'yes' (checked) or 'no' (not checked) on a simple yes/no question .

  6. Truth value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_value

    In C, the number 0 or 0.0 is false, and all other values are treated as true. In JavaScript, the empty string (""), null, undefined, NaN, +0, −0 and false [3] are sometimes called falsy (of which the complement is truthy) to distinguish between strictly type-checked and coerced Booleans (see also: JavaScript syntax#Type conversion). [4]

  7. Proof by contradiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_contradiction

    In this general sense, proof by contradiction is also known as indirect proof, proof by assuming the opposite, [2] and reductio ad impossibile. [3] A mathematical proof employing proof by contradiction usually proceeds as follows: The proposition to be proved is P. We assume P to be false, i.e., we assume ¬P. It is then shown that ¬P implies ...

  8. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    Data can be lost when converting representations from floating-point to integer, as the fractional components of the floating-point values will be truncated (rounded toward zero). Conversely, precision can be lost when converting representations from integer to floating-point, since a floating-point type may be unable to exactly represent all ...

  9. False (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_(logic)

    Because p → p is usually a theorem or axiom, a consequence is that the negation of false (¬ ⊥) is true. A contradiction is the situation that arises when a statement that is assumed to be true is shown to entail false (i.e., φ ⊢ ⊥). Using the equivalence above, the fact that φ is a contradiction may be derived, for example, from ⊢ ...
