  2. Duplicate code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplicate_code

    In computer programming, duplicate code is a sequence of source code that occurs more than once, either within a program or across different programs owned or maintained by the same entity. Duplicate code is generally considered undesirable for a number of reasons. [ 1 ]

  3. Abstraction principle (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction_principle...

    In software engineering and programming language theory, the abstraction principle (or the principle of abstraction) is a basic dictum that aims to reduce duplication of information in a program (usually with emphasis on code duplication) whenever practical by making use of abstractions provided by the programming language or software libraries. [1]

  4. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  5. Metaphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphone

    Metaphone is a phonetic algorithm, published by Lawrence Philips in 1990, for indexing words by their English pronunciation. [1] It fundamentally improves on the Soundex algorithm by using information about variations and inconsistencies in English spelling and pronunciation to produce a more accurate encoding, which does a better job of matching words and names which sound similar.

  6. Bloom filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter

    By allowing a false positive rate for the duplicates, the communication volume can be reduced further as the PEs don't have to send elements with duplicated hashes at all and instead any element with a duplicated hash can simply be marked as a duplicate. As a result, the false positive rate for duplicate detection is the same as the false ...

  7. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    The constants 1 and 0 are sometimes used to represent the Boolean values true and false in programming languages without a Boolean type, such as older versions of C. Most modern programming languages provide a boolean or bool primitive type and so the use of 0 and 1 is ill-advised. This can be more confusing since 0 sometimes means programmatic ...

  8. Wikipedia : Lists of common misspellings/Repetitions

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_of_common...

    The following is a list of the 172 most common word duplicates (number after word is count of occurrences) extracted from a search of all English Wikipedia articles existing on 21 February 2006. Most punctuation was automatically removed and so the count is unlikely to be 100% accurate.

  9. Prolog syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog_syntax_and_semantics

    Examples of compound terms are truck_year('Mazda', 1986) and 'Person_Friends'(zelda,[tom,jim]). Compound terms with functors that are declared as operators can be written in prefix or infix notation. For example, the terms -(z), +(a,b) and =(X,Y) can also be written as -z, a+b and X=Y, respectively. Users can declare arbitrary functors as ...
