  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    The above is not limited to subtractions, try = 1 + 1.405*2^(-48) in one cell, Excel rounds the display to 1,00000000000000000000, and = 0.9 + 225179982494413×2^(-51) in another, same display [d] above, different rounding for value and display, violates one of the elementary requirements in Goldberg (1991) [8] who states:

  3. Data Interchange Format - Wikipedia

    A header chunk is composed of an identifier line followed by the two lines of a value. TABLE - a numeric value follows of the version, the disused second line of the value contains a generator comment; VECTORS - the number of columns follows as a numeric value; TUPLES - the number of rows follows as a numeric value

  4. Nesting (computing) - Wikipedia

    In this Microsoft Excel formula, the SUM function is nested inside the IF function. First, the formula calculates the sum of the numbers in the cells from C8 to G8. It then decides whether the sum is 0, and it displays the letter Y if the sum is 0, and the letter N if it is not.

  5. Circular reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_reference

    Circular references can appear in computer programming when one piece of code requires the result from another, but that code needs the result from the first. For example, the two functions, posn and plus1 in the following Python program comprise a circular reference: [further explanation needed]

  6. Spreadsheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreadsheet

    When the computer calculates a formula in one cell to update the displayed value of that cell, cell reference(s) in that cell, naming some other cell(s), causes the computer to fetch the value of the named cell(s). A cell on the same "sheet" is usually addressed as: =A1 A cell on a different sheet of the same spreadsheet is usually addressed as:

  7. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of highly efficient linear block codes made from many single parity check (SPC) codes. They can provide performance very close to the channel capacity (the theoretical maximum) using an iterated soft-decision decoding approach, at linear time complexity in terms of their block length.

  8. Property list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_list

    One limitation of the original NeXT property list format is that it could not represent an NSValue (number, Boolean, etc.) object. As a result, these values would have to be converted to string, and "fuzzily" recovered by the application. [2] Another limitation is that there is no official 8-bit encoding defined. [3]

  9. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    In some languages, such as BASIC, a callable has different syntax (i.e. keyword) for a callable that returns a value vs. one that does not. In other languages, the syntax is the same regardless. In some of these languages an extra keyword is used to declare no return value; for example void in C, C++ and C#. In some languages, such as Python ...
