An off-by-one error or off-by-one bug (known by acronyms OBOE, OBO, OB1 and OBOB) is a logic error that involves a numerical value incorrectly bigger or smaller by one. It often occurs in computer programming when a loop iterates one time too many or too few. Such problem arises, for instance, when a programmer writes non-strict inequality (≤) in a terminating condition where strict inequality (

L'objectif de ce cours est d'introduire les étudiants à la pensée algorithmique, de les familiariser avec les fondamentaux de l'Informatique et de développer une première compétence en programmation (
In computer science, array is a data type that represents a collection of elements (values or variables), each selected by one or more indices (identifying keys) that can be computed at run time during program execution. Such a collection is usually called an array variable or array value. By analogy with the mathematical concepts vector and matrix, array types with one and two indices are often called vector type and matrix type, respectively. More generally, a multidimensional array type can be called a tensor type, by analogy with the physical concept, tensor.
0 (zero) is a number representing an empty quantity. As a number, 0 fulfills a central role in mathematics as the additive identity of the integers, real numbers, and other algebraic structures. In place-value notation such as decimal, 0 also serves as a numerical digit to indicate that that position's power of 10 is not multiplied by anything or added to the resulting number. This concept appears to have been difficult to discover. Common names for the number 0 in English are zero, nought, naught (nɔːt), nil.
Introduces the Hubble law, parsec, and redshift in observational cosmology.
Explores stack organization, return addresses, and array overflow cases.
We present an approach for using formal methods in embedded systems and its evaluation on a case study. In our approach, the developers describe the system in a restricted subset of the high-level programming language Scala. We then use 1) a verification s ...
Program verification is a promising approach to improving program quality, because it can search all possible program executions for specific errors. However, the need to formally describe correct behavior or errors is a major barrier to the widespread ado ...
