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).
