  2. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    The year 2038 problem (also known as Y2038, [1] Y2K38, Y2K38 superbug or the Epochalypse [2] [3]) is a time computing problem that leaves some computer systems unable to represent times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. The problem exists in systems which measure Unix time —the number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC ...

  3. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

    Off-by-one errors are common in using the C library because it is not consistent with respect to whether one needs to subtract 1 byte – functions like fgets() and strncpy will never write past the length given them (fgets() subtracts 1 itself, and only retrieves (length − 1) bytes), whereas others, like strncat will write past the length given them.

  4. Software versioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning

    Software versioning. Software versioning is the process of assigning either unique version names or unique version numbers to unique states of computer software. Within a given version number category (e.g., major or minor), these numbers are generally assigned in increasing order and correspond to new developments in the software.

  5. Double-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating...

    Sign bit: 1 bit; Exponent: 11 bits; Significand precision: 53 bits (52 explicitly stored) The sign bit determines the sign of the number (including when this number is zero, which is signed). The exponent field is an 11-bit unsigned integer from 0 to 2047, in biased form: an exponent value of 1023 represents the actual zero. Exponents range ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. Object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and many of their features support functional programming and aspect-oriented programming (including metaprogramming [70] and metaobjects ). [71] Many other paradigms are supported via extensions, including design by ...

  7. GNU Debugger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Debugger

    GDB is still actively being developed. As of version 7.0 new features include support for Python scripting [8] and as of version 7.8 GNU Guile scripting as well. [9] Since version 7.0, support for "reversible debugging" — allowing a debugging session to step backward, much like rewinding a crashed program to see what happened — is available ...

  8. OpenBUGS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBUGS

    The BUGS language is the language that specifies the model code. It is parsed by OpenBUGS, which then creates an executable (compiled code) that generates a sample from the posterior distribution when run. OpenBUGS was designed to run together with S-Plus and the BUGS language is similar to the S programming language.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug

    A software bug is a bug in computer software . A computer program with many or serious bugs may be described as buggy. The effects of a software bug range from minor (such as a misspelled word in the user interface) to severe (such as frequent crashing ). Software bugs have been linked to disasters.
