  2. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_structure)

    For example, a two-dimensional array A with three rows and four columns might provide access to the element at the 2nd row and 4th column by the expression A[1][3] in the case of a zero-based indexing system. Thus two indices are used for a two-dimensional array, three for a three-dimensional array, and n for an n-dimensional array.

  3. Conway's Game of Life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life

    The Game of Life, also known simply as Conway's Game of Life or simply Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. [1] It is a zero-player game, [2][3] meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an ...

  4. Sparse matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_matrix

    A sparse matrix obtained when solving a finite element problem in two dimensions. The non-zero elements are shown in black. In numerical analysis and scientific computing, a sparse matrix or sparse array is a matrix in which most of the elements are zero. [1] There is no strict definition regarding the proportion of zero-value elements for a ...

  5. Quadtree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadtree

    A quadtree is a tree data structure in which each internal node has exactly four children. Quadtrees are the two-dimensional analog of octrees and are most often used to partition a two-dimensional space by recursively subdividing it into four quadrants or regions. The data associated with a leaf cell varies by application, but the leaf cell ...

  6. Maximum subarray problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_subarray_problem

    In this case, the array from which samples are taken is [2, 3, -1, -20, 5, 10]. In computer science, the maximum sum subarray problem, also known as the maximum segment sum problem, is the task of finding a contiguous subarray with the largest sum, within a given one-dimensional array A [1...n] of numbers. It can be solved in time and space.

  7. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Main article: Bubble sort. Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm. The algorithm starts at the beginning of the data set. It compares the first two elements, and if the first is greater than the second, it swaps them. It continues doing this for each pair of adjacent elements to the end of the data set.

  8. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

    In computer science, array is a data type that represents a collection of elements (values or variables), each selected by one or more indices (identifying keys) that can be computed at run time during program execution. Such a collection is usually called an array variable or array value. [1] By analogy with the mathematical concepts vector ...

  9. Life-like cellular automaton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-like_cellular_automaton

    A cellular automaton (CA) is Life-like (in the sense of being similar to Conway's Game of Life) if it meets the following criteria: The array of cells of the automaton has two dimensions. The neighborhood of each cell is the Moore neighborhood; it consists of the eight adjacent cells to the one under consideration and (possibly) the cell itself.
