  2. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    For tie-breaking, Python 3 uses round to even: round(1.5) and round(2.5) both produce 2. [124] Versions before 3 used round-away-from-zero: round(0.5) is 1.0, round(-0.5) is −1.0. [125] Python allows Boolean expressions with multiple equality relations in a manner that is consistent with general use in mathematics.

    This is why the next missile built by Rafael in early 1970s was named Python-3, but there is no Python-1 or Python-2 (they were Shafrir-1, Shafrir-2). The Python-3 has improved range and all-aspect attack ability, it proved itself before and during the 1982 Lebanon War , destroying 35 enemy aircraft.

  4. Exception handling (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling...

    LISP 1.5 (1958-1961) [5] allowed exceptions to be raised by the ERROR pseudo-function, similarly to errors raised by the interpreter or compiler. Exceptions were caught by the ERRORSET keyword, which returned NIL in case of an error, instead of terminating the program or entering the debugger. [ 6 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Numeric literals in Python are of the normal sort, e.g. 0, -1, 3.4, 3.5e-8. Python has arbitrary-length integers and automatically increases their storage size as necessary. Prior to Python 3, there were two kinds of integral numbers: traditional fixed size integers and "long" integers of arbitrary size.

  6. Cyclic redundancy check - Wikipedia

    The polynomial is written in binary as the coefficients; a 3rd-degree polynomial has 4 coefficients (1x 3 + 0x 2 + 1x + 1). In this case, the coefficients are 1, 0, 1 and 1. The result of the calculation is 3 bits long, which is why it is called a 3-bit CRC. However, you need 4 bits to explicitly state the polynomial. Start with the message to ...

    And in case of more than 1 error, this decoder outputs 28 erasures. The deinterleaver at the succeeding stage distributes these erasures across 28 D2 codewords. Again in most solutions, D2 is set to deal with erasures only (a simpler and less expensive solution). If more than 4 erasures were to be encountered, 24 erasures are output by D2.

  8. Exception handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling

    Common exceptions include an invalid argument (e.g. value is outside of the domain of a function), [5] an unavailable resource (like a missing file, [6] a network drive error, [7] or out-of-memory errors [8]), or that the routine has detected a normal condition that requires special handling, e.g., attention, end of file. [9]

  9. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

    Off-by-one errors are common in using the C library because it is not consistent with respect to whether one needs to subtract 1 byte – functions like fgets() and strncpy will never write past the length given them (fgets() subtracts 1 itself, and only retrieves (length − 1) bytes), whereas others, like strncat will write past the length given them.
