Algorithms & data structures
in-degree
Computer science; Algorithms & data structures
The number of edges coming into a vertex in a directed graph.
out-degree
Computer science; Algorithms & data structures
The number of edges going out of a vertex in a directed graph.
load factor
Computer science; Algorithms & data structures
The number of elements in a hash table divided by the number of slots. Usually written α (alpha).
quadtree complexity theorem
Computer science; Algorithms & data structures
The number of nodes in a quadtree region representation for a simple polygon (i.e. with nonintersecting edges and without holes) is O(p+q) for a 2 q × 2 q image with perimeter p measured in pixel ...
key
Computer science; Algorithms & data structures
The part of a group of data by which it is sorted, indexed, cross referenced, etc.
recursion termination
Computer science; Algorithms & data structures
The point when conditions are met and a recursive algorithm ceases calling itself and begins to return values.
range
Computer science; Algorithms & data structures
The possible results of a function or relation. For instance, the range of cosine is (-1,+1).
