Sign function. Signum function. In mathematics, the sign function or signum function (from signum, Latin for "sign") is a function that has the value −1, +1 or 0 according to whether the sign of a given real number is positive or negative, or the given number is itself zero. In mathematical notation the sign function is often represented as or .
Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere ( WORA ), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the ...
In mathematics, the floor function (or greatest integer function) is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor (x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the smallest integer greater than or equal to x, denoted ⌈x⌉ or ceil (x).
Social and cultural anthropology. v. t. e. Pythia ( / ˈpɪθiə /; [1] Ancient Greek: Πυθία [pyːˈtʰíaː]) was the name of the high priestess of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. She specifically served as its oracle and was known as the Oracle of Delphi. Her title was also historically glossed in English as the Pythoness.
The Heaviside step function, or the unit step function, usually denoted by H or θ (but sometimes u, 1 or 𝟙 ), is a step function named after Oliver Heaviside, the value of which is zero for negative arguments and one for nonnegative arguments. [1] It is an example of the general class of step functions, all of which can be represented as ...
Sign extension (sometimes abbreviated as sext, particularly in mnemonics) is the operation, in computer arithmetic, of increasing the number of bits of a binary number while preserving the number's sign (positive/negative) and value. This is done by appending digits to the most significant side of the number, following a procedure dependent on ...
A call graph generated for a simple computer program in Python. A call graph (also known as a call multigraph [1] [2]) is a control-flow graph, [3] which represents calling relationships between subroutines in a computer program. Each node represents a procedure and each edge (f, g) indicates that procedure f calls procedure g.
