  2. Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science)

    Attempting to take a resource from an empty MVar results in the thread blocking until the resource is available. [24] As an alternative to locking, an implementation of software transactional memory also exists. [25] Go provides a low-level Mutex object in standard's library sync package. [26] It can be used for locking code blocks, methods or ...

  3. Bubble sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort

    Take an array of numbers "5 1 4 2 8", and sort the array from lowest number to greatest number using bubble sort. In each step, elements written in bold are being compared. Three passes will be required; First Pass ( 5 1 4 2 8 ) → ( 1 5 4 2 8 ), Here, algorithm compares the first two elements, and swaps since 5 > 1.

    An example of a readable book [b]. Each of the nine countries covered by the library, as well as Reporters without Borders, has an individual wing, containing a number of articles, [1] available in English and the original language the article was written in. [2] The texts within the library are contained in in-game book items, which can be opened and placed on stands to be read by multiple ...

  5. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Magic numbers become particularly confusing when the same number is used for different purposes in one section of code. It is easier to alter the value of the number, as it is not duplicated. Changing the value of a magic number is error-prone, because the same value is often used several times in different places within a program. [ 6 ]

  6. Selection sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort

    In computer science, selection sort is an in-place comparison sorting algorithm.It has a O(n 2) time complexity, which makes it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than the similar insertion sort.

  7. Merge sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort

    The number of comparisons made by merge sort in the worst case is given by the sorting numbers. These numbers are equal to or slightly smaller than (n ⌈lg n⌉ − 2 ⌈lg n⌉ + 1), which is between (n lg n − n + 1) and (n lg n + n + O(lg n)). [6] Merge sort's best case takes about half as many iterations as its worst case. [7]

  8. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Packing squares in a square: Optimal solutions have been proven for n from 1-10, 14-16, 22-25, 33-36, 62-64, 79-81, 98-100, and any square integer. The wasted space is asymptotically O(a 3/5). Packing squares in a circle: Good solutions are known for n ≤ 35. The optimal packing of 10 squares in a square

  9. Mutation (evolutionary algorithm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_(evolutionary...

    Many EAs, such as the evolution strategy [10] [11] or the real-coded genetic algorithms, [12] [13] [8] work with real numbers instead of bit strings. This is due to the good experiences that have been made with this type of coding. [8] [14] The value of a real-valued gene can either be changed or redetermined.
