program and outputs

An algorithm, design, networking protocol, program, or other system is said to scale if it is suitably efficient and practical when applied to large situations ( e. g. a large input data set, a large number of outputs or users, or a large number of participating nodes in the case of a distributed system ).

program and string
Any string s has at least one description, namely the program:
Thus, if P is a program in L < sub > 2 </ sub > which is a minimal description of s, then InterpretLanguage ( P ) returns the string s. The length of this description of s is the sum of
In other words, there is no program which takes a string s as input and produces the integer K ( s ) as output.
We show this by contradiction by making a program that creates a string that should only be able to be created by a longer program.
The program tries every string, starting with the shortest, until it finds a string with complexity at least n ( if there is one ), then returns that string ( or goes into an infinite loop if there is no such string ).
Therefore, given any positive integer n, it produces a string with Kolmogorov complexity at least as great as n. The program itself has a fixed length U. The input to the program GenerateComplexString is an integer n. Here, the size of n is measured by the number of bits required to represent n, which is log < sub > 2 </ sub >( n ).
* Despite its heritage, Applesoft lacked commands common to most other Microsoft BASIC interpreters, such as INSTR ( which searched for a substring in a given string ; this had to be done manually with loops and the MID $ function ), PRINT USING ( which formatted numbers with commas and currency signs according to a format string ), and INKEY $ ( which checked for a keypress without stopping the program as Applesoft's GET command — analogous to the INPUT $ function — did, although a PEEK location did provide this functionality ).
In the following example, a program has defined two data items which are adjacent in memory: an 8-byte-long string buffer, A, and a two-byte integer, B.
Data structures are generally based on the ability of a computer to fetch and store data at any place in its memory, specified by an address — a bit string that can be itself stored in memory and manipulated by the program.
