In programming languages, a type system is a logical system comprising a set of rules that assigns a property called a type to the various constructs of a computer program, such as variables, expressions, functions or modules. These types formalize and enforce the otherwise implicit categories the programmer uses for algebraic data types, data structures, or other components (e.g. "string", "array of float", "function returning boolean"). The main purpose of a type system is to reduce possibilities for bugs in computer programs by defining interfaces between different parts of a computer program, and then checking that the parts have been connected in a consistent way. This checking can happen statically (at compile time), dynamically (at run time), or as a combination of both. Type systems have other purposes as well, such as expressing business rules, enabling certain compiler optimizations, allowing for multiple dispatch, providing a form of documentation, etc.
A type system associates a type with each computed value and, by examining the flow of these values, attempts to ensure or prove that no type errors can occur. The given type system in question determines what constitutes a type error, but in general, the aim is to prevent operations expecting a certain kind of value from being used with values for which that operation does not make sense (logic errors). Type systems are often specified as part of programming languages and built into interpreters and compilers, although the type system of a language can be extended by optional tools that perform added checks using the language's original type syntax and grammar.

Hi again. About over 5 years ago I was reading something on the net about a certain human gene that is unique and rare in humans called the freak gene, super human, or slow turtle gene. Is there another name for it and does this gene exist in humans? How do I find out if I have this gene or...
Hello! (Wave)
I want to construct a grammar for the language $L=\{ a^i b^j \mid i,j \geq 1, i>j\}$. What type of grammar is it?
I have thought to start with the command $S \to aSb$.
Since we can have several times $a,b$ I have thought to continue with the command $S \to aDb$.
Since there have...
My professor is teaching us that type 1 error increases with sample size if you keep alpha constant, and I think I understand what she's getting at, but I can't find anything online that supports the idea. Here's what I'm thinking:
We accept that there is an equal chance that a flipped coin...
Hi I am a beginner in this topic. I didn't understand this question type clearly.What does it mean" With Magnitude and Unit Vectors" exactly? May you help me for the solution step by step :). Thanks in advance.
I was just looking to see if anyone knew of a book pitched at the pre-university to undergrad level which contains slightly more unconventional Physics/Maths problems, but is not as formal as some of the old warhorses like Irodov.
Something similar to what I'm looking for would be Professor...
I would like vertical lines with dots at the top of them, with the x-positions and heights coming from

In the market, there are a lot of different brands of microfiber cloth, but in general, there are only two types - less expensive and the more expensive one. The less expensive one is usually suggested for general cleaning while the more expensive one is usually suggested that it's for delicate...
Is it possible to typehttps://drive.google.com/open?id=186OoXjmVjb3nhXjSBKEAq2u_6MF-UXlm into LaTeX, or should I just print out the thing as it is? If the former, I do not know how I would go about it; the matrices seem much too wide for me to fit onto a letter-size page. For the record, the...
Hi, hopefully someone can help with showing me how I can work this one out as I am new to the topic area and a bit stumped.

I am reading a pdf where, under a "classic ways of reasoning" section, the author introduced a method called la disjonction de cas, which I think in English would be "case by case" reasoning. He enounced it as follows:
$$\text{Let }\mathrm A,\,\mathrm B\text{ and }\mathrm C\text{ be three...
Hey! :o
We have data of a sample of $100$ people from a population with standard deviation $\sigma=20$.
We consider the following test: \begin{align*}H_0 : \ \mu\leq 100 \\ H_1 : \ \mu>100\end{align*}
The real mean is $\mu=102$ and the significance level is $\alpha=0.1$.

Hi all; I have a very basic understanding of sequences and series and recently encountered a sequence which really has me confused: $$(\frac{1}{5}+(\frac{1}{5}+(\frac{1}{5}+(...)^2 )^2)^2)^2$$ What type of sequence would you call this? I couldn't even google it because I couldn't work out how to...
Hello everyone,
I'm a mechanical engineering student working on a reconnaissance/surveillance UAV system. To summarize it,

Summary: why do group 15 share the same conduction band as the silicon atoms.
In a n type extrinsic semiconductors the atoms of silicon are doped with the atoms of a gr15 element to increase the number of valance electrons in the semiconductor. But the reason given to me by my teacher and what...
Hi! Sorry if this isn't the best question, but I've been trying to do a project where I thought it would be interesting to talk about coastlines.
I downloaded a GIS (QGIS) to try and see if I could roughly measure all the continents for myself, but I haven't really done this before, so I wasn't...
We were thinking about buying a room heater. The minimum required would be 1000W (?), considering room size of about 120sq.ft. The temperature doesn't drop below 10°C normally.
We found that there are two types of heaters: coil type and halogen lamp type. We will buy one that has a fan...
NOTE: Was not sure where to post this as it is a math question, but a part of my "Theoretical Physics" course.
I have no idea where to start this and am probably doing this mathematically incorrect.
given the function f(z) = cos(z+1/z) there should exist a singular point at z=0 as at z = 0...
I am totally confused about whether it even makes sense to speak of n and p-types materials, when referring to whether the majority of charge carriers are electrons or holes.
We can read all over the place that the Hall effect can tell us whether a material is p or n-type, just by checking the...
I’m writing a story about warfare several decades in the future. While I was doing research into possible directed-energy weapons, I came across something interesting. I don’t know if there is a name for the whole concept but it can be generally described as the use of brief laser pulses to...
Hi,
I got this question on a recent astronomy course but can't really find the right answer (rough translation from Swedish):
If there was a fourth neutrino type it would have affected Universe's development the following way:
a. more photons and more He-4 generated
b. less photons and less...
I believe the answer is incorrect, reasons:
The answer assumes that electric field will exist .
But this is not the case , until and unless there is a bipolarity there cannot be an electric field ( in case of isolated charged objects, the field exists because the bipolarity is separated by a...
Today, we went to our old house and brought back two record players. One is an HMV stereo 666, and another is of Philips. They have been lying there for almost twenty years, since my grandfather passed away. Maybe they are more than 40 years old. One of them had the plug broken, and dad's memory...

I'm currently working on a design project which requires using sheet metal with ASTM A1011 CS Type B steels. Reading their latest designation for this type of steel, it is shown that the yield strength varies between 30 - 50 ksi. [1] Maybe it's just because I'm new and naive, but I find this...
Is there any theory in physics that can be modeled in any type of space (Hilbert space, Euclidean, Non-Euclidean...etc)? And if yes, could that theory also contain/be compatible with all types of (physical) symmetries?
hi, so I've been trying to find the initial velocity of this projectile; but i ended up getting a negative value for seconds squared. I've gone over my solution multiple times but don't see where i went wrong. alternatively, was i supposed to take the absolute value of seconds squared?
thanks...
You collect 200 data points, 100 with input ##A## and 100 with input ##A'##.
For all 100 ##A## you get output ##C## and for all 100 ##A'## you get ##C'##.
That's way more than 5 standard deviations, so you're ready to publish...
But not really.
Because what matters is not just that input ##A##...
While working on an old electric iron, I found this joint in the wires:
Any idea what this joint is? Does it have a special name?
The wires are in a horrible condition, so I have to change them. How can I build this joint by myself? Or are such wires readily available in the market?
I have a problem where I want to model the dose in Gy of a gamma source on a surface as a function of distance. In the papers I have read several different tallys have been used which leaves me a little confused as to the appropriate tally. In the papers the *F4Mesh, F4, F6, and *F8 tallys were...
