Topic: Ternary operation

	Ternary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although ternary most often refers to a system in which the three digits, 0, 1 and 2, are all nonnegative integers, the adjective also lends its name to the balanced ternary system, useful for comparison logic.
		Ternary is inefficient for human usage, just as binary is. Therefore, nonary (base 9, each digit is two ternary digits) or base 27 (each digit is three ternary digits) is often used, similar to how octal and hexadecimal systems are used in place of binary.
		Ternary also has a unit similar to a byte, the tryte, which is six ternary digits.

		A prefix operator is an operator that precedes its operand, whereas a postfix operator trails its operand.
		All binary and ternary operators are infix operators.
		The operator's operand, which must have a data type that is byte integer, character, integer, or short integer, specifies the index.

	Ternary Raster Operations
		Each raster-operation code represents a Boolean operation in which the values of the pixels in the source, the selected brush, and the destination are combined.
		The following operation combines the values of the pixels in the source and brush with the pixel values of the destination bitmap (there are alternative spellings of the same function, so although a particular spelling may not be in the list, an equivalent form would be):
		The 16-bit operation index is a zero-extended, 8-bit value that represents the result of the Boolean operation on predefined brush, source, and destination values.

		In genetics an operator is the site on DNA to which a specific repressor protein binds and prevents the initiation of transcription at the adjacent promoter.
		Programming languages have a set of operators that perform arithmetical operations, and others such as Boolean operations on truth values, and string operators manipulating strings of text.
		In particular they depend on operator precedence rules, on order of operations, that are tacitly assumed in mathematical writing.

		The distinction between conversion and casting is that the latter relies on the compiler's coercion mechanism to achieve the end result while a conversion obtains the desired result explicitly through a call to a conversion function.

	RTR's Win95Pak: Man Page for PERLOVL
		This operation is called in the situations when a mutator is applied to a reference that shares its object with some other reference, such as $a=$b; $a++; To make this change to $a and not to change $b, a freshly made copy of $$a is made, and $a is assigned a reference to this object.
		WARNING The restriction for the comparison operation is that even if, for example, `cmp' should return a blessed reference, the autogenerated `lt' function will produce only a standard logical value based on the numerical value of the result of `cmp'.
		Although the copy constructor is specially designed to make overloading operations with references to an array simpler, as it now works it's useless for this because a subroutine cannot return an array in the same way as it returns a scalar (from the point of view of Perl internals).

	Addition
		With counting naturally comes operation of addition - passing from the current object to the next means adding one to the set of already counted objects.
		Operations apply to elements of arbitrary sets which, in turn, may be distinguished by the variety of operations (and their properties) that are defined for elements of a set.
		Addition is a binary operation that applies to two objects simultaneously and results in another element of the same set.

	The Old New Thing : Understanding ternary raster operations
		A ternary raster operation describes how three boolean values should combine to form an output boolean.
		Now, one question that has come up is "What is the algorithm for deriving the RPN raster operation description string from the operation index?" The answer is, "You stare at it and use your brain's power of pattern-matching." There is no single "correct" expression of an operation index as RPN.
		For operations that can be performed by a hardware blitter (which is probably all of them with current hardware) it's presumably useless.

	AlgebraicStructures - PineWiki
		Most operations on an algebra are defined in terms of operations on the carrier (the set of elements of the algebra).
		Fortunately this reversal operation is an isomorphism between the two monoids, and in general we can show that any free algebra for a given class with a given base set is unique up to isomorphism, which means that while there may be more than one such algebra, there is only one isomorphism equivalence class.
		In addition to their own field and group operations, scalars and vectors are connected by an operation called (rather confusingly) scalar multiplication that multiplies a scalar by a vector to produce another vector.

		But some operators are unary (like __neg__ which handles negation) and some have an optional third argument (actually only one, __pow__).
		To support unary and ternary operators, we would have to add a new method_generator, and extra checking in __getattr__.
		Doing numerical operations with different types is pretty every-day, so there is a special mechanism to handle it.

		Compared with R-22 operation, operation with ternary mixture results in slightly higher compressor discharge pressure, lower compressor discharge temperature, slightly lower compressor power consumption, and a higher compressor high-low pressure ratio.
		Temperature glide for ternary mixture, for both evaporator and condenser, was clearly evident, but not as pronounced as expected because of the pressure drop (and thus the temperature drop) along the coils.
		Further improvement of the performance of ternary mixture is possible if the evaporator is arranged in a counter-cross-flow configuration to take advantage of the temperature glide.

		These procedures fall into two categories: "PushMumble(hdc,...)" changes the device context "hdc" to be appropriate for subsequent mumble operations; "Pop(ctxt)" reverts the device context back to its prior state.
		Push and pop operations must always be paired.
		The push operation returns a context record, which must be passed as a parameter to the corresponding pop operation.

	Re: operads and string theory, loop q. gravity
		After all, if you have the binary operation of product, then you have ternary operations defined (in 2 ways) by composing this binary operation with itself, as well as quaternary operations defined by composing some more (in 5 ways), and so on.
		Similarly, if you have no operations given at all, then you must have the identity operations.
		Thus, Com has a binary operation, a nullary operation, a ternary relation, a binary relation, and a unary relation, while Lie has a binary operation, a ternary relation, and a binary relation.
