CMPSC 130A Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Programming A General Overview
Document Summary
Writing a working program is often not good enough. Running time can become an issue for large data sets. The error in this approximation tends to euler"s constant: if divides. Is true if and only if or. If a prime number divides a product of two numbers, it divides at least one of. The equation has a unique solution for all. The equation has eitheer two solutions for all , or it has no solutions the two numbers. Establishing that a theorem is true for some small value. The theorem is assumed to be true for all cases up to some limit , and the theorem is shown to be true for the next value , proving the theorem. Assume that the theorem is false and show that this assumption implies that some known property is false, and hence the original assumption was erroneous. Recursive = a function that is defined in terms of itself is called recursive.
