1Schlemiel the painter's Algorithm — In software development, a Schlemiel the Painter [ s] algorithm denotes any methodology that is inefficient because the programmer has overlooked some fundamental issues at the very lowest levels of software design. The term was coined by… …
2Operator-precedence parser — An operator precedence parser is a bottom up parser that interprets an operator precedence grammar. For example, most calculators use operator precedence parsers to convert from the human readable infix notation with order of operations format… …
3Operational transformation — Operation Transformation redirects here. For the cross media event, see Operation Transformation (TV series). Operational transformation (OT) is a technology for supporting a range of collaboration functionalities in advanced groupware systems.… …
4Software design pattern — In software engineering, a design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design. A design pattern is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a… …
5Algorithmic efficiency — In computer science, efficiency is used to describe properties of an algorithm relating to how much of various types of resources it consumes. Algorithmic efficiency can be thought of as analogous to engineering productivity for a repeating or… …
6Merge sort — Example of merge sort sorting a list of random dots. Class Sorting algorithm Data structure Array Worst case performance O(n log n) …
7Type inference — Type inference, or implicit typing, refers to the ability to deduce automatically the type of a value in a programming language. It is a feature present in some strongly statically typed languages. It is often characteristic of but not limited to …
8Lamport signature — In cryptography, a Lamport signature or Lamport one time signature scheme is a method for constructing a digital signature. Lamport signatures can be built from any cryptographically secure one way function; usually a cryptographic hash function… …
9Self-modifying code — In computer science, self modifying code is code that alters its own instructions, intentionally or otherwise, while it is executing.Self modifying code is quite straightforward to write when using assembly language (taking into account the CPU… …
10True quantified Boolean formula — The language TQBF is a formal language in computer science that contains True Quantified Boolean Formulas. A fully quantified boolean formula is a formula in first order logic where every variable is quantified (or bound), using either… …
