    2 days ago · In 1974, Donald Knuth said "virtually every theorem in elementary number theory arises in a natural, motivated way in connection with the problem of making computers do high-speed numerical calculations".

    1 day ago · Metafont is a description language used to define raster fonts. It is also the name of the interpreter that executes Metafont code, generating the bitmap fonts that can be embedded into e.g. PostScript. Metafont was devised by Donald Knuth as a companion to his TeX typesetting system. One of the characteristics of Metafont is that the points ...

    The KMP algorithm is an efficient string matching algorithm due to Donald Knuth, Vaughan Pratt, and James H. Morris. It is a linear time algorithm that exploits the observation that every time a match (or a mismatch) happens, the pattern itself contains enough information to dictate where the new examination should begin from.

    Jul 2, 2024 · The concept was introduced by Donald Knuth in 1984, in an attempt to develop a workflow suited for both producing programs, and essays about those programs. Important: The main focus of literate programming is producing high-quality documentation, that explains the inner workings of the code (with the drawback that extending the code can be quite slow).

    Jul 19, 2024 · Background: The man or boy test was proposed by computer scientist Donald Knuth as a means of evaluating implementations of the ALGOL 60 programming language. The aim of the test was to distinguish compilers that correctly implemented "recursion and non-local references" from those that did not.
