The set of equations ( 5 ), ( 6 ), and the starting equation ( 7 ) is of a recursive type well suited to programming on the digital computer.

Many amateurs make valuable contributions in the field of computer programming through the open source movement.

* APL ( programming language ), a computer programming language with specialized array-processing capabilities

The modern computer programming language Ada is named in her honour.

The computer was brought to Polytechnic University of Turin where it was fixed and used to run the BASIC programming language .</ li >

An assembly language is a low-level programming language for a computer, microcontroller, or other programmable device, in which each statement corresponds to a single machine code instruction.

Each assembly language is specific to a particular computer architecture, in contrast to most high-level programming languages, which are generally portable across multiple systems.

ALGOL ( short for ALGOrithmic Language ) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the ACM, in textbooks, and academic works for the next 30 years and more.

Such a description language can be based on any computer programming language, such as Lisp, Pascal, or Java Virtual Machine bytecode.

A few US professional societies whose professions frequently employ various non-word characters, such as chemistry and computer programming, use the British form in their style guides ( see ACS Style Guide ).

* 1959 – A team of computer manufacturers, users, and university people led by Grace Hopper meets to discuss the creation of a new programming language that would be called COBOL.

Since algorithms are platform-independent ( i. e. a given algorithm can be implemented in an arbitrary programming language on an arbitrary computer running an arbitrary operating system ), there are significant drawbacks to using an empirical approach to gauge the comparative performance of a given set of algorithms.

* Automatic differentiation, a way to speedily compute derivatives in computer programming

In computer science, an abstract data type ( ADT ) is a mathematical model for a certain class of data structures that have similar behavior ; or for certain data types of one or more programming languages that have similar semantics.

AMOS BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language implemented on the Amiga computer.

Bjarne Stroustrup (); born December 30, 1950 in Århus, Denmark ) is a Danish computer scientist, most notable for the creation and the development of the widely used C ++ programming language.

BCPL ( Basic Combined Programming Language ) is a procedural, imperative, and structured computer programming language designed by Martin Richards of the University of Cambridge in 1966.

In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory.

Computer programming in general is the process of writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code and documentation of computer programs.

This source code is written in a programming language, which is an artificial language often more restrictive or demanding than natural languages, but easily translated by the computer.

And a single programmer could do most or all of the computer programming needed to generate the proof of concept to launch a new " killer " application.

The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software.

There was only one possible answer, but Jack's horrified mind refused to believe it until he had fed the radar plots of the skiff's course into the computer.

It is worth mentioning that the Nepōhualtzintzin amounted to the rank from 10 to the 18 in floating point, which calculated stellar as well as infinitesimal amounts with absolute precision, meant that no round off was allowed, when translated into modern computer arithmetic.

Alan Mathison Turing, OBE, FRS ( ; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954 ), was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist.

He was highly influential in the development of computer science, giving a formalisation of the concepts of " algorithm " and " computation " with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.

The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician Charles Babbage.

It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's Difference Engine, a design for a mechanical computer.

The Apple I's built-in computer terminal circuitry was distinctive.

As Wozniak was the only person who could answer most customer support questions about the computer, the company offered Apple I owners discounts and trade-ins for Apple IIs to persuade them to return their computers, contributing to their scarcity.

The high price was likely due to the rare documents and packaging offered in the sale in addition to the computer, including the original packaging ( with the return label showing Steve Jobs ' parents ' address, the original Apple Computer Inc ' headquarters ' being their garage ), a personally typed and signed letter from Jobs ( answering technical questions about the computer ), and the original invoice showing ' Steven ' as the salesman.

The computer was designated an IEEE Milestone in 1990.

Atanasoff and Clifford Berry's computer work was not widely known until it was rediscovered in the 1960s, amidst conflicting claims about the first instance of an electronic computer.

At that time, the ENIAC was considered to be the first computer in the modern sense, but in 1973 a U. S. District Court invalidated the ENIAC patent and concluded that the ENIAC inventors had derived the subject matter of the electronic digital computer from Atanasoff ( see Patent dispute ).

It was not a Turing complete computer, which distinguishes it from more general machines, like contemporary Konrad Zuse's Z3 ( 1941 ), or later machines like the 1946 ENIAC, 1949 EDVAC, the University of Manchester designs, or Alan Turing's post-War designs at NPL and elsewhere.

The machine was, however, the first to implement three critical ideas that are still part of every modern computer:

George W. Snedecor, the head of Iowa State's Statistics Department, was very likely the first user of an electronic digital computer to solve real world mathematics problems.

The first model was launched in 1985 as a high-end home computer and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking abilities.

Anagrams constructed without aid of a computer are noted as having been done " manually " or " by hand "; those made by utilizing a computer may be noted " by machine " or " by computer ", or may indicate the name of the computer program ( using Anagram Genius ).

While this went on MCP renamed itself to MCP CHIP but ran into problems with the German computer magazine CHIP, and had to return to its former name.

So they decided to designed a TRS-80 and CP / M software compatible computer system, which ( following the lead of Apple Computer ) they decided to name after a " typical Dutch flower ".

Perhaps the Aster computer inspired another Dutch computer firm to name their computer after another typical Dutch flower — the Tulip's Tulip System-1 which appeared about the same time Aster folded.

* A small cabinet, which gave its name to the computer

In environments in which a file is named, a file's name and the path to the file's directory must uniquely identify it among all other files in the computer system — no two files can have the same name and path.

Whether or not a name is well-formed depends on the type of computer system being used.

When a computer allows the use of folders, each file and folder has not only a name of its own, but also a path, which identifies the folder or folders in which a file or folder resides.

Commodore is the commonly used collective name for Commodore International Limited and the various national companies that operated underneath it, including Commodore Business Machines ( CBM ), the U. S .- based home computer and electronics manufacturer with headquarters in West Chester, Pennsylvania that it shared with its parent.

In September 1997, the Commodore brand name was acquired by Dutch computer maker Tulip Computers NV.

Worried that a new computer company would find it difficult to arrange further financing, Doriot suggested the fledgling company change its business plan to focus less on computers, and even change their name from " Digital Computer Corporation ".

In keeping with Doriot's instructions, the name was an initialism for " Programmable Data Processor ", leaving off the term " computer ".

In 1983, using the psychoacoustic principle of the masking of critical bands first published in 1967, he started developing a practical application based on the recently developed IBM PC computer, and the broadcast automation system was launched in 1987 under the name Audicom.

For example, if the authoritative name server for < tt > example. org </ tt > is < tt > ns1. example. org </ tt >, a computer trying to resolve < tt > www. example. org </ tt > first resolves < tt > ns1. example. org </ tt >.

* Filename extension, suffix to the name of a computer file, designed to show its format

At that time, according to Newsham, the code name ECHELON was NSA's term for the computer network itself.

The Gang of Nine was the informal name given to the consortium of personal computer manufacturing companies who came together in 1988 to create the EISA bus.

In 1986, the novel was adapted into a computer text adventure game of the same name.
