Printer's key. A copyright page with the printer's key underlined. This version of the book is the eighteenth printing. The printer's key, also known as the number line, is a line of text printed on a book's copyright page (often the verso of the title page, especially in English-language publishing) used to indicate the print run of the ...
Fibonacci sequence. For the chamber ensemble, see Fibonacci Sequence (ensemble). In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fn . The sequence commonly starts from 0 and 1, although ...
Repeating decimal. A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be ...
Fibonacci prime. A Fibonacci prime is a Fibonacci number that is prime, a type of integer sequence prime. The first Fibonacci primes are (sequence A005478 in the OEIS ): 2, 3, 5, 13, 89, 233, 1597, 28657, 514229, 433494437, 2971215073, ....
An integer sequence is a computable sequence if there exists an algorithm which, given n, calculates a n, for all n > 0. The set of computable integer sequences is countable . The set of all integer sequences is uncountable (with cardinality equal to that of the continuum ), and so not all integer sequences are computable.
Page numbering. Page numbering is the process of applying a sequence of numbers (or letters, or Roman numerals) to the pages of a book or other document. The number itself, which may appear in various places on the page, can be referred to as a page number or as a folio. [1] Like other numbering schemes such as chapter numbering, page numbers ...
In the C programming language, an escape sequence is specially delimited text in a character or string literal that represents one or more other characters to the compiler. It allows a programmer to specify characters that are otherwise difficult or impossible to specify in a literal. An escape sequence starts with a backslash ( \) called the ...
Control character. In computing and telecommunication, a control character or non-printing character ( NPC) is a code point in a character set that does not represent a written character or symbol. They are used as in-band signaling to cause effects other than the addition of a symbol to the text.
