Double-entry bookkeeping, also known as double-entry accounting, is a method of bookkeeping that relies on a two-sided accounting entry to maintain financial information. Every entry to an account requires a corresponding and opposite entry to a different account. The double-entry system has two equal and corresponding sides known as debit and credit.

In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software, providing generic functionality, can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software.It provides a standard way to build and deploy applications and is a universal, reusable software environment that provides particular functionality as part of a …

In computer programming, Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data (more specifically, a sequence of 8-bit bytes) in sequences of 24 bits that can be represented by four 6-bit Base64 digits.. Common to all binary-to-text encoding schemes, Base64 is designed to carry data stored in binary formats across channels that only reliably support …

In computing, a shebang is the character sequence consisting of the characters number sign and exclamation mark (#!) at the beginning of a script.It is also called sharp-exclamation, sha-bang, hashbang, pound-bang, or hash-pling.. When a text file with a shebang is used as if it is an executable in a Unix-like operating system, the program loader mechanism parses the rest of …

Discrete-time Board games played with dice. A game of snakes and ladders or any other game whose moves are determined entirely by dice is a Markov chain, indeed, an absorbing Markov chain.This is in contrast to card games such as blackjack, where the cards represent a 'memory' of the past moves.To see the difference, consider the probability for a certain event in the game.

Message transport. An email address consists of two parts, a local part and a domain; if the domain is a domain name rather than an IP address then the SMTP client uses the domain name to look up the mail exchange IP address. The general format of an email address is local-part@domain, e.g. jsmith@[192.168.1.2], [email protected] SMTP client transmits the …

History. Around 1978, an early variant of a fork bomb called wabbit was reported to run on a System/360.It may have descended from a similar attack called RABBITS reported from 1969 on a Burroughs 5500 at the University of Washington.. Implementation. Fork bombs operate both by consuming CPU time in the process of forking, and by saturating the operating system's …

Chunked transfer encoding is a streaming data transfer mechanism available in Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) version 1.1, defined in RFC 9112 §7.1.In chunked transfer encoding, the data stream is divided into a series of non-overlapping "chunks". The chunks are sent out and received independently of one another.

Examples in 2 dimensions. Most common geometric transformations that keep the origin fixed are linear, including rotation, scaling, shearing, reflection, and orthogonal projection; if an affine transformation is not a pure translation it keeps some point fixed, and that point can be chosen as origin to make the transformation linear. In two ...

Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small (usually would result in a long string of digits) to be conveniently written in decimal form.It may be referred to as scientific form or standard index form, or standard form in the United Kingdom. This base ten notation is commonly used by scientists, mathematicians, and engineers, in part because it …
