  2. Perfect number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number

    In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its positive proper divisors, that is, divisors excluding the number itself. For instance, 6 has proper divisors 1, 2 and 3, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, so 6 is a perfect number. The next perfect number is 28, since 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28.

  3. Aliquot sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliquot_sum

    The aliquot sum function can be used to characterize several notable classes of numbers: 1 is the only number whose aliquot sum is 0. A number is prime if and only if its aliquot sum is 1. [1] The aliquot sums of perfect, deficient, and abundant numbers are equal to, less than, and greater than the number itself respectively. [1]

  4. Polite number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polite_number

    A Young diagram representing visually a polite expansion 15 = 4 + 5 + 6. In number theory, a polite number is a positive integer that can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive positive integers.

  5. Five-number summary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-number_summary

    The five-number summary is a set of descriptive statistics that provides information about a dataset. It consists of the five most important sample percentiles: the sample minimum (smallest observation) the lower quartile or first quartile. the median (the middle value) the upper quartile or third quartile. the sample maximum (largest observation)

  6. Aliquot sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliquot_sequence

    The first five candidate numbers are often called the Lehmer five (named after D.H. Lehmer): 276, 552, 564, 660, and 966. [4] However, it is worth noting that 276 may reach a high apex in its aliquot sequence and then descend; the number 138 reaches a peak of 179931895322 before returning to 1.

  7. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Fibonacci sequence. In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fn . The sequence commonly starts from 0 and 1, although some authors start the sequence from 1 and 1 or sometimes ...

  8. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    Java syntax. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike in C++, in Java there are no global functions or variables, but there are data members which are also regarded as global variables. All code belongs to classes and all values are objects.

  9. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    t. e. In computer science, a for-loop or for loop is a control flow statement for specifying iteration. Specifically, a for-loop functions by running a section of code repeatedly until a certain condition has been satisfied. For-loops have two parts: a header and a body. The header defines the iteration and the body is the code that is executed ...
