  2. Pancake sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancake_sorting

    A pancake number is the minimum number of flips required for a given number of pancakes. In this form, the problem was first discussed by American geometer Jacob E. Goodman. [1] A variant of the problem is concerned with burnt pancakes, where each pancake has a burnt side and all pancakes must, in addition, end up with the burnt side on bottom.

  3. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Merge sort. In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order.The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order, and either ascending or descending.

  4. JavaPOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaPOS

    JavaPOS (short for Java for Point of Sale Devices), is a standard for interfacing point of sale (POS) software, written in Java, with the specialized hardware peripherals typically used to create a point-of-sale system. The advantages are reduced POS terminal costs, platform independence, and reduced administrative costs.

  5. Bridge pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_pattern

    The bridge pattern is often confused with the adapter pattern, and is often implemented using the object adapter pattern; e.g., in the Java code below. Variant: The implementation can be decoupled even more by deferring the presence of the implementation to the point where the abstraction is utilized.

  6. Programming by example - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_by_example

    The system records user actions and infers a generalized program that can be used on new examples. PbE is intended to be easier to do than traditional computer programming, which generally requires learning and using a programming language. Many PbE systems have been developed as research prototypes, but few have found widespread real-world ...

  7. Singleton pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_pattern

    In object-oriented programming, the singleton pattern is a software design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to a singular instance. It is one of the well-known "Gang of Four" design patterns, which describe how to solve recurring problems in object-oriented software. [1]

  8. Visitor pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern

    The following example is in the language Java, and shows how the contents of a tree of nodes (in this case describing the components of a car) can be printed. Instead of creating print methods for each node subclass ( Wheel , Engine , Body , and Car ), one visitor class ( CarElementPrintVisitor ) performs the required printing action.

  9. Easy Java Simulations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Java_Simulations

    EJSS is written in the Java programming language and the created simulations are in Java or JavaScript. Java Virtual Machines (JVM) are available for many different platforms; a platform for which a JVM is available can run Java programs. Though Java applets were popular before 2014, JavaScript Applets outputs can be run on almost any device ...
