Topic: Whitespace (computer science)


  
  Encyclopedia article: Whitespace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In computer science (The branch of engineering science that studies (with the aid of computers) computable processes and structures), a whitespace (or a whitespace character) is any character which does not display itself but does take up space.
Within source code (Program instructions written as an ASCII text file; must be translated by a compiler or interpreter or assembler into the object code for a particular computer before execution), the size of whitespace is generally ignored by free-form language (additional info and facts about free-form language) s.
The term whitespace is based on the assumption that the background color used for text is white, and is thus confusing if it is not.

 Category:Computer science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In its most general sense, computer science (CS or compsci) is the study of computation and information processing, both in hardware and in software.
In practice, computer science includes a variety of topics relating to computers, which range from the abstract analysis of algorithms, formal grammars, etc. to more concrete subjects like programming languages, software, and computer hardware.
As a scientific discipline, it is distinct from mathematics, programming, software engineering, informatics, and computer engineering, although there are significant overlaps and no clear demarcation.

 Optimization (computer science) - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The system can be a single computer program, a collection of computers or even an entire network such as the Internet.
In computer programming, optimization usually specifically means to modify code and its compilation settings on a given computer architecture to produce more efficient software.
Grid computing or distributed computing aims to optimize the whole system, by moving tasks from computers with high usage to computers with idle time.

Many of our students have rarely used a computer before, and the notion of programming is filled with unfortunate pop culture references to programmers and such.
Some of them have somewhat inaccurate ideas of what Computer Science is all about.
If what we want is a crop of students that really understands things from the bottom up, we have to keep their interest for longer than the first 10 minutes of CS 1.

XML passes all whitespace in the source to the application.
The worst problem I see with whitespace is one that can't be solved by a parser easily: if I have a document bit like: This is an end of paragraph.

And this is the start of another.

Of course there is only one word in: Large initial letter But this tends to bear out my view that whitespace handling is just the tip of an iceberg only soluble with a lot of semantic knowledge -- that it is the duty of stylesheet and DTD authors to determine.
