  2. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)

    The diameter may be called the length, width, measure, range, or size of the interval. The size of unbounded intervals is usually defined as +∞, and the size of the empty interval may be defined as 0 (or left undefined). The centre of a bounded interval with endpoints a and b is (a + b)/2, and its radius is the half-length | a − b |/2

  3. Range (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Another meaning of range in computer science is an alternative to iterator. When used in this sense, range is defined as "a pair of begin/end iterators packed together". [1] It is argued [1] that "Ranges are a superior abstraction" (compared to iterators) for several reasons, including better safety.

  4. Reductio ad absurdum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum

    Reductio ad absurdum, painting by John Pettie exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1884. In logic, reductio ad absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity"), also known as argumentum ad absurdum (Latin for "argument to absurdity") or apagogical argument, is the form of argument that attempts to establish a claim by showing that the opposite scenario would lead to absurdity or contradiction.

  5. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    Maple has two forms of for-loop, one for iterating over a range of values, and the other for iterating over the contents of a container. The value range form is as follows: for i from f by b to t while w do # loop body od; All parts except do and od are optional. The for I part, if present, must come first.

  6. Do while loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_while_loop

    This repeats until the condition becomes false. Do while loops check the condition after the block of code is executed. This control structure can be known as a post-test loop. This means the do-while loop is an exit-condition loop. However a while loop will test the condition before the code within the block is executed.

  7. Water pouring puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pouring_puzzle

    By restricting ourselves to reversible actions only, we can construct the solution to the problem from the desired result. From the point [4,4,0], there are only two reversible actions: transferring 3 liters from the 8 liter jug to the empty 3 liter jug [1,4,3], and transferring 3 liters from the 5 liter jug to the empty 3 liter jug [4,1,3].

  8. GW-BASIC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW-BASIC

    GW-BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language developed by Microsoft from IBM BASICA.Functionally identical to BASICA, its BASIC interpreter is a fully self-contained executable and does not need the Cassette BASIC ROM found in the original.

  9. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    Unlike traditional locks that put a thread to sleep when it can't acquire the lock, spinlocks repeatedly "spin" in an infinite loop until the lock becomes available. This intentional infinite looping is a deliberate design choice aimed at minimizing the time a thread spends waiting for the lock and avoiding the overhead of higher level ...
