  2. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    In data analysis applications, such as image processing, a lookup table (LUT) can be used to transform the input data into a more desirable output format. For example, a grayscale picture of the planet Saturn could be transformed into a color image to emphasize the differences in its rings.

  3. Foreach loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreach_loop

    myArray. forEach (function (item, index) {// Do stuff with item and index // The index variable can be omitted from the parameter list if not needed}); The ECMAScript 6 standard introduced a more conventional for..of syntax that works on all iterables rather than operating on only array instances.

  4. Range query (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    The top-k data structure at each node is constructed based on the values existing in the subtrees of that node and is meant to answer one-sided range top-k queries. Please note that for a one-dimensional array A {\displaystyle A} , a range tree can be constructed by dividing A {\displaystyle A} into two halves and recursing on both halves ...

  5. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    A lookup table, which contains, as keys, the case values and, as values, the part under the case statement. (In some languages, only actual data types are allowed as values in the lookup table. In other languages, it is also possible to assign functions as lookup table values, gaining the same flexibility as a real switch statement.

  6. Database index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index

    A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of data retrieval operations on a database table at the cost of additional writes and storage space to maintain the index data structure. Indexes are used to quickly locate data without having to search every row in a database table every time said table is accessed.

  7. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})

  8. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    The output is a hash code used to index a hash table holding the data or records, or pointers to them. A hash function may be considered to perform three functions: Convert variable-length keys into fixed-length (usually machine-word-length or less) values, by folding them by words or other units using a parity-preserving operator like ADD or XOR,

  9. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Insertion sort is widely used for small data sets, while for large data sets an asymptotically efficient sort is used, primarily heapsort, merge sort, or quicksort. Efficient implementations generally use a hybrid algorithm , combining an asymptotically efficient algorithm for the overall sort with insertion sort for small lists at the bottom ...
