Corpus analysis for Recursive

  • In this selection, "recursive" usually appears near the start of the sentence. The average example has 24.3 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
  • Around the word, primitive, total, non, functions, function and codes stand out and add context to how "recursive" is used.
  • Recognizable usage signals include a caching recursive dns server, a non recursive encoder and recursive functions. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
  • By corpus frequency, "recursive" sits close to words such as adultery, aromatic and assures, which helps place it inside the broader word index.

Example types with recursive

The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:

Short example sentences

Recursive acronyms can also be examples of recursive humor. (9 words)

Primitive recursive functions are a defined subclass of the recursive functions. (11 words)

In functional languages, the recursive definition is often implemented directly to illustrate recursive functions. (14 words)

Longer example sentences

It is similar to the simple recursive solution, except that instead of making recursive calls, it pushes the nodes onto a queue for consumption: Flood-fill (node, target-color, replacement-color): 1. If target-color is equal to replacement-color, return. (41 words)

This follows from the facts that the functions of this form are the most quickly growing primitive recursive functions, and that a function is primitive recursive if and only if its time complexity is bounded by a primitive recursive function. (40 words)

However, with only authoritative name servers operating, every DNS query must start with recursive queries at the root zone of the Domain Name System and each user system would have to implement resolver software capable of recursive operation. (38 words)

Example sentences (20)

Other examples of total recursive but not primitive recursive functions are known: *The function that takes m to Ackermann (m,m) is a unary total recursive function that is not primitive recursive.

In typical operation, a client will issue a recursive query to a caching recursive DNS server, which will then issue non-recursive queries to determine the answer and send a single answer back to the client.

Recursive and non-recursive codes The encoder on the picture above is a non-recursive encoder.

This follows from the facts that the functions of this form are the most quickly growing primitive recursive functions, and that a function is primitive recursive if and only if its time complexity is bounded by a primitive recursive function.

Additional primitive recursive forms Some additional forms of recursion also define functions that are in fact primitive recursive.

All primitive recursive functions are total and computable, but the Ackermann function illustrates that not all total computable functions are primitive recursive.

An individual DNS query may be either non-recursive, recursive, or iterative, or a combination of these.

A total recursive function is a partial recursive function that is defined for every input.

Advertentie

Brainerd and Landweber, 1974 In fact, it is difficult to devise a total recursive function that is not primitive recursive, although some are known (see the section on Limitations below).

During this year, Gödel also developed the ideas of computability and recursive functions to the point where he was able to present a lecture on general recursive functions and the concept of truth.

For example, if g and h are 2-ary primitive recursive functions then : is also primitive recursive.

For the latter, see citation An important property of the primitive recursive functions is that they are a recursively enumerable subset of the set of all total recursive functions (which is not itself recursively enumerable).

Given primitive recursive functions e, f, g, and h, a function that returns the value of g when e≤f and the value of h otherwise is primitive recursive.

However, with only authoritative name servers operating, every DNS query must start with recursive queries at the root zone of the Domain Name System and each user system would have to implement resolver software capable of recursive operation.

In functional languages, the recursive definition is often implemented directly to illustrate recursive functions.

It is similar to the simple recursive solution, except that instead of making recursive calls, it pushes the nodes onto a queue for consumption: Flood-fill (node, target-color, replacement-color): 1. If target-color is equal to replacement-color, return.

Primitive recursive functions are a defined subclass of the recursive functions.

Recursive acronyms can also be examples of recursive humor.

Recursive codes are typically systematic and, conversely, non-recursive codes are typically non-systematic.

Recursive Implementation The following highlights an essential function of the recursive solution which may be otherwise misunderstood or overlooked.
