The Increment and Decrement Operators in C: Introduction: In C-derived programming languages, being able to increment and decrement number values is an extremely important skill. The increment and decrement operations are deployed in loops etc., and whilst scripting videogames in suites such as Unity and Unreal – which use C#/JavaScript and C++ respectively – these operations are very often employed – amongst other things – to effect the motion of avatars and sprites and projectiles etc. Body: Operator Classification: The Increment and Decrement operations are classed as unary operations, which means that the operator takes a single operand. Example: In an expression such as: 1++ , then the integer: 1 is considere

As regards Formal Logic and Set theory, what is a dichotomy? As Regards Formal Logic and Set Theory, what is a Dichotomy? Introduction: The mathematical term: ‘dichotomy’ is employed in common parlance, usually as a component of the phrase: a false dichotomy .  When we refer to: a false dichotomy in common English, we generally refer to two competing ideologies that might seem, at first glance, to have nothing in common; no shared elements; but, upon further inspection, actually have a lot of elements in common. The Term ‘Dichotomy’ in Mathematics and Logic: The purpose of this blogpost is to examine what the term: ‘dichotomy’ means in

Pseudo-random numbers in C Pseudo-random numbers in C: Introduction: In Ancient Greek, the adjective: ψευδής [1] . or, when transliterated: ‘pseudḗs’ means: ‘lying,’ ‘false,’ ‘fictitious,’ ‘sham’ [2] . . A classical computer is a deterministic machine, and, in and of itself, cannot generate a truly random number.  A classical computer, in and of itself, can only generate a pseudo-random number. [3] . A pseudo-random number is not a true random number – its having been generated through a deterministic process – however it is considered, from a human perspect
