  2. Primality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primality_test

    Randomly pick a number a. Check equality (corresponding to the chosen test) involving a and the given number n. If the equality fails to hold true, then n is a composite number and a is a witness for the compositeness, and the test stops. Get back to the step one until the required accuracy is reached.

  3. Halting problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

    The halting problem is a decision problem about properties of computer programs on a fixed Turing-complete model of computation, i.e., all programs that can be written in some given programming language that is general enough to be equivalent to a Turing machine. The problem is to determine, given a program and an input to the program, whether ...

  4. Boolean data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_data_type

    Objective-C also has a separate Boolean data type BOOL, with possible values being YES or NO, equivalents of true and false respectively. Also, in Objective-C compilers that support C99, C's _Bool type can be used, since Objective-C is a superset of C. Java. In Java, the value of the boolean data type can only be either true or false.

  5. "Hello, World!" program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"Hello,_World!"_program

    A "Hello, World!" program is often the first written by a student of a new programming language, [1] but such a program can also be used as a sanity check to ensure that the computer software intended to compile or run source code is correctly installed, and that its operator understands how to use it.

  6. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    Computer number format. A computer number format is the internal representation of numeric values in digital device hardware and software, such as in programmable computers and calculators. [1] Numerical values are stored as groupings of bits, such as bytes and words. The encoding between numerical values and bit patterns is chosen for ...

  7. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

    In computer programming, a magic number is any of the following: A unique value with unexplained meaning or multiple occurrences which could (preferably) be replaced with a named constant. A constant numerical or text value used to identify a file format or protocol; for files, see List of file signatures.

  8. Palindromic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindromic_number

    A palindromic number (also known as a numeral palindrome or a numeric palindrome) is a number (such as 16461) that remains the same when its digits are reversed. In other words, it has reflectional symmetry across a vertical axis. The term palindromic is derived from palindrome, which refers to a word (such as rotor or racecar) whose spelling ...
