  2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    The order of operations, that is, the order in which the operations in an expression are usually performed, results from a convention adopted throughout mathematics, science, technology and many computer programming languages. It is summarized as: [2] [5] Parentheses; Exponentiation; Multiplication and division; Addition and subtraction

  3. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    On a single-step or immediate-execution calculator, the user presses a key for each operation, calculating all the intermediate results, before the final value is shown. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] On an expression or formula calculator , one types in an expression and then presses a key, such as "=" or "Enter", to evaluate the expression.

  4. Decision cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_cycle

    A decision cycle or decision loop [1] is a sequence of steps used by an entity on a repeated basis to reach and implement decisions and to learn from the results. The "decision cycle" phrase has a history of use to broadly categorize various methods of making decisions, going upstream to the need, downstream to the outcomes, and cycling around to connect the outcomes to the needs.

  5. Sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence

    Informally, a sequence has a limit if the elements of the sequence become closer and closer to some value (called the limit of the sequence), and they become and remain arbitrarily close to , meaning that given a real number greater than zero, all but a finite number of the elements of the sequence have a distance from less than .

  6. Sequence diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_diagram

    A system sequence diagram should be done for the main success scenario of the use case, and frequent or complex alternative scenarios. There are two kinds of sequence diagrams: Sequence Diagram (SD): A regular version of sequence diagram describes how the system operates, and every object within a system is described specifically.

  7. Instruction cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_cycle

    The instruction cycle (also known as the fetch–decode–execute cycle, or simply the fetch–execute cycle) is the cycle that the central processing unit (CPU) follows from boot-up until the computer has shut down in order to process instructions. It is composed of three main stages: the fetch stage, the decode stage, and the execute stage.

  8. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    One implementation can be described as arranging the data sequence in a two-dimensional array and then sorting the columns of the array using insertion sort. The worst-case time complexity of Shellsort is an open problem and depends on the gap sequence used, with known complexities ranging from O(n 2) to O(n 4/3) and Θ(n log 2 n).

  9. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The parity sequence is the same as the sequence of operations. Using this form for f ( n ) , it can be shown that the parity sequences for two numbers m and n will agree in the first k terms if and only if m and n are equivalent modulo 2 k .
