Big O notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In computer science, big O notation is used to classify algorithms by how they respond to changes in input size, such as how the processing time of an algorithm changes as the problem size becomes extremely large.[3] In analytic number theory it is used to estimate the "error committed" while replacing the asymptotic size of an arithmetical function by the value it takes at a large finite argument. A famous example is the problem of estimating the remainder term in the prime number theorem. in Software Engineeringwith algorithmalgorithmsclassifycomputernotationprocessingsciencetheory
Duplicate code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Duplicate code is a computer programming term for a sequence of source code that occurs more than once, either within a program or across different programs owned or maintained by the same entity. Duplicate code is generally considered undesirable for a number of reasons.[1] A minimum requirement is usually applied to the quantity of code that must appear in a sequence for it to be considered duplicate rather than coincidentally similar. Sequences of duplicate code are sometimes known as code clones or just clones, the automated process of finding duplications in source code is called clone detection. in Software Engineeringwith anti-patterncodecomputerduplicatemultipleoccurrencesundesirable
