difference

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The difference of set A minus set B is a set having all the members which are in A, but not in B.

Manhattan distance

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The distance between two points measured along axes at right angles. In a plane with p 1 at (x 1 , y 1 ) and p 2 at (x 2 , y 2 ), it is

offset

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The distance from the beginning of a string to the end of a segment in that string.

root

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The distinguished initial or fundamental item of a tree. The only item which has no parent.

single program multiple data (SPMD)

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The dominant style of parallel programming, where all processors use the same program, though each has its own data.

dual

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The dual of a planar graph, G, is a graph with a vertex for each region in G and an edge between vertices for each pair of adjacent regions. The new edge crosses the edge in G which is the boundary ...

suffix

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The end characters of a string. More formally a string v is a suffix of a string u if u=u'v for some string u'.
