A fixed point number has a specific number of bits (or digits) reserved for the integer part (the part to the left of the decimal point) and a specific number of bits reserved for the fractional part (the part to the right of the decimal point). No matter how large or small your number is, … Read more
Short answer: No. Medium Answer: Can’t really be done, though one could write a program to check the validity of a given proof fairly easily. In the case of propositional logic, the problem of automatically finding a proof is NP-complete (though it is decidable!), and in first order logic there are true theorems for which … Read more
I assume that you are looking for intuitive definitions, since the technical definitions require quite some time to understand. First of all, let’s remember a preliminary needed concept to understand those definitions. Decision problem: A problem with a yes or no answer. Now, let us define those complexity classes. P P is a complexity class that represents the set of … Read more
Statically typed languages A language is statically typed if the type of a variable is known at compile time. For some languages this means that you as the programmer must specify what type each variable is; other languages (e.g.: Java, C, C++) offer some form of type inference, the capability of the type system to deduce … Read more
