Calculator input methods. There are various ways in which calculators interpret keystrokes. These can be categorized into two main types: On a single-step or immediate-execution calculator, the user presses a key for each operation, calculating all the intermediate results, before the final value is shown.

Luhn algorithm. The Luhn algorithm or Luhn formula, also known as the " modulus 10" or "mod 10" algorithm, named after its creator, IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn, is a simple check digit formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers. It is described in US patent 2950048A, granted on 23 August 1960. [ 1]
Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...
Source lines of code. Source lines of code ( SLOC ), also known as lines of code ( LOC ), is a software metric used to measure the size of a computer program by counting the number of lines in the text of the program's source code. SLOC is typically used to predict the amount of effort that will be required to develop a program, as well as to ...
To subtract a decimal number y (the subtrahend) from another number x (the minuend) two methods may be used: In the first method, the nines' complement of x is added to y. Then the nines' complement of the result obtained is formed to produce the desired result. In the second method, the nines' complement of y is added to x and one is added to ...
The machine will perform the following three steps on any odd number until only one 1 remains: Append 1 to the (right) end of the number in binary (giving 2n + 1); Add this to the original number by binary addition (giving 2n + 1 + n = 3n + 1); Remove all trailing 0 s (that is, repeatedly divide by 2 until the result is odd).
The mapping of characters to code-points and back can be implemented in a number of ways. The simplest approach (akin to the original Luhn algorithm) is to use ASCII code arithmetic. For example, given an input set of 0 to 9, the code-point can be calculated by subtracting the ASCII code for '0' from the ASCII code of the desired character. The ...
AsciiMath is a client-side mathematical markup language for displaying mathematical expressions in web browsers.
