Look-ahead (backtracking) — In backtracking algorithms, look ahead is the generic term for a subprocedure that attempts to foresee the effects of choosing a branching variable to evaluate or one of its values. The two main aims of look ahead are to choose a variable to… … Wikipedia
Algorithm — Flow chart of an algorithm (Euclid s algorithm) for calculating the greatest common divisor (g.c.d.) of two numbers a and b in locations named A and B. The algorithm proceeds by successive subtractions in two loops: IF the test B ≤ A yields yes… … Wikipedia
Look — Looking refers to the act of visual perception.Look may also refer to:* LOOK, a high end racing bicycle manufacturer * Look (film), a 2007 film drama directed by Adam Rifkin * LOOK (Computer Science) disk scheduling algorithmMagazines:* Look… … Wikipedia
Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm — The Knuth–Morris–Pratt string searching algorithm (or KMP algorithm) searches for occurrences of a word W within a main text string S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to… … Wikipedia
String searching algorithm — String searching algorithms, sometimes called string matching algorithms, are an important class of string algorithms that try to find a place where one or several strings (also called patterns) are found within a larger string or text. Let Σ be… … Wikipedia
Elevator algorithm — The elevator algorithm (also SCAN) is a disk scheduling algorithm to determine the motion of the disk s arm and head in servicing read and write requests.This algorithm is named after the behavior of a building elevator, where the elevator… … Wikipedia

Medical algorithm — A medical algorithm for assessment and treatment of overweight and obesity. A medical algorithm is any computation, formula, statistical survey, nomogram, or look up table, useful in healthcare. Medical algorithms … Wikipedia
Multiplication algorithm — A multiplication algorithm is an algorithm (or method) to multiply two numbers. Depending on the size of the numbers, different algorithms are in use. Efficient multiplication algorithms have existed since the advent of the decimal system.… … Wikipedia
Page replacement algorithm — This article is about algorithms specific to paging. For outline of general cache algorithms (e.g. processor, disk, database, web), see Cache algorithms. In a computer operating system that uses paging for virtual memory management, page… … Wikipedia
