  2. Rational data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_data_type

    A variable or value of that type is usually represented as a fraction m/n where m and n are two integer numbers, either with a fixed or arbitrary precision.Depending on the language, the denominator n may be constrained to be non-zero, and the two numbers may be kept in reduced form (without any common divisors except 1).

  3. List of arbitrary-precision arithmetic software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_arbitrary...

    Python: the built-in int (3.x) / long (2.x) integer type is of arbitrary precision. The Decimal class in the standard library module decimal has user definable precision and limited mathematical operations (exponentiation, square root, etc. but no trigonometric functions).

  4. Numerical tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_tower

    In the Python examples, we can see that numerical issues freely arise with an inconsistent application of the semantics of its type coercion. While 1 / 3 in Python is treated as a call to divide 1 by 3, yielding a float, the inclusion of rationals inside a complex number, though clearly permissible, implicitly coerces them from rationals into ...

  5. Arbitrary-precision arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic

    In base ten, a sixteen-bit integer is certainly adequate as it allows up to 32767. However, this example cheats, in that the value of n is not itself limited to a single digit. This has the consequence that the method will fail for n > 3200 or so. In a more general implementation, n would also use a multi-digit representation.

  6. Data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type

    For example, in the Python programming language, int represents an arbitrary-precision integer which has the traditional numeric operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication. However, in the Java programming language , the type int represents the set of 32-bit integers ranging in value from −2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 ...

  7. Statistical data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_data_type

    For example, count data requires a different distribution (e.g. a Poisson distribution or binomial distribution) than non-negative real-valued data require, but both fall under the same level of measurement (a ratio scale). Various attempts have been made to produce a taxonomy of levels of measurement.

  8. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    Each input integer can be represented by 3nL bits, divided into 3n zones of L bits. Each zone corresponds to a vertex. Each zone corresponds to a vertex. For each edge (w,x,y) in the 3DM instance, there is an integer in the SSP instance, in which exactly three bits are "1": the least-significant bits in the zones of the vertices w, x, and y.

  9. Remainder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remainder

    Given an integer a and a non-zero integer d, it can be shown that there exist unique integers q and r, such that a = qd + r and 0 ≤ r < | d |. The number q is called the quotient, while r is called the remainder. (For a proof of this result, see Euclidean division. For algorithms describing how to calculate the remainder, see division algorithm.)
