JavaScript is supported by Mozilla (from Netscape 2), Explorer (from version 3), Opera (from version 3), Safari, iCab, and Konqueror. I regularly test my scripts in these browsers. See also the "Browser compatibility" section on the Resources page .

In addition, the following browsers support JavaScript, but I don't test my scripts in them: Hotjava 3 WebTV OmniWeb QNX Voyager NetBox Amiga-AWeb Amiga Voyager Sega Dreamcast Ant Fresco (Risc) as well as several mobile phone browsers This list is not complete. This page has been translated into French and Turkish . JavaScript is most commonly used as a client side scripting language. The fact that the script is in the HTML page means that your scripts can be seen and copied by whoever views your page. JavaScript can be used in other contexts than a Web browser. JavaScript is not the same as Java. JavaScript is not a programming language in strict sense. C++ Language Tutorial. This website uses cookies.

A diagram showing a representation of a decimal floating-point number using a mantissa and an exponent. In computing, floating point describes a method of representing an approximation of a real number in a way that can support a wide range of values. The numbers are, in general, represented approximately to a fixed number of significant digits (the significand) and scaled using an exponent. The base for the scaling is normally 2, 10 or 16.

The typical number that can be represented exactly is of the form: Significant digits × baseexponent The term floating point refers to the fact that a number's radix point (decimal point, or, more commonly in computers, binary point) can "float"; that is, it can be placed anywhere relative to the significant digits of the number. This position is indicated as the exponent component in the internal representation, and floating point can thus be thought of as a computer realization of scientific notation. Overview[edit] Symbolically, this final value is. A Gentle Introduction to Algorithm Complexity Analysis. Dionysis "dionyziz" Zindros <dionyziz@gmail.com> Introduction A lot of programmers that make some of the coolest and most useful software today, such as many of the stuff we see on the Internet or use daily, don't have a theoretical computer science background. They're still pretty awesome and creative programmers and we thank them for what they build.

However, theoretical computer science has its uses and applications and can turn out to be quite practical. In this article, targeted at programmers who know their art but who don't have any theoretical computer science background, I will present one of the most pragmatic tools of computer science: Big O notation and algorithm complexity analysis.

As someone who has worked both in a computer science academic setting and in building production-level software in the industry, this is the tool I have found to be one of the truly useful ones in practice, so I hope after reading this article you can apply it in your own code to make it better.
