  2. PHP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP

    PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to server-side web development, in which case PHP generally runs on a web server. Any PHP code in a requested file is executed by the PHP runtime, usually to create dynamic web page content or dynamic images used on websites or elsewhere. [282]

  3. PHP syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_syntax_and_semantics

    PHP generally follows C syntax, with exceptions and enhancements for its main use in web development, which makes heavy use of string manipulation. PHP variables must be prefixed by " $ ". This allows PHP to perform string interpolation in double quoted strings, where backslash is supported as an escape character.

  4. CSS - Wikipedia

    To demonstrate specificity Inheritance Inheritance is a key feature in CSS; it relies on the ancestor-descendant relationship to operate. Inheritance is the mechanism by which properties are applied not only to a specified element but also to its descendants. Inheritance relies on the document tree, which is the hierarchy of XHTML elements in a page based on nesting. Descendant elements may ...

  5. Coding theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_theory

    Linear block codes have the property of linearity, i.e. the sum of any two codewords is also a code word, and they are applied to the source bits in blocks, hence the name linear block codes. There are block codes that are not linear, but it is difficult to prove that a code is a good one without this property.

  6. List of chemical elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

    List of chemical elements. 118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC. A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z ). [1]

  7. Spectral method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_method

    Examples of spectral methods A concrete, linear example. Here we presume an understanding of basic multivariate calculus and Fourier series.If (,) is a known, complex-valued function of two real variables, and g is periodic in x and y (that is, (,) = (+,) = (, +)) then we are interested in finding a function f(x,y) so that

  8. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    Each chemical element has a unique atomic number (Z) representing the number of protons in its nucleus. All elements have multiple isotopes, variants with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, carbon has three naturally occurring isotopes: all of its atoms have six protons and most have six neutrons as well ...

  9. Group (periodic table) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)

    Group (periodic table) In chemistry, a group (also known as a family) [1] is a column of elements in the periodic table of the chemical elements. There are 18 numbered groups in the periodic table; the 14 f-block columns, between groups 2 and 3, are not numbered. The elements in a group have similar physical or chemical characteristics of the ...
