Topic: Null (computer)



  
 Null
In computer programming, null is a special value for a pointer (or reference) that is used to signify that the pointer's target is not a valid data element.
In a null cipher, most of the characters may be nulls.
Often, 0 (zero) is used as the null value, as most operating systems consider it an error to try to access such a low memory address.

 NULL - The Ultimate Computer Language [rec.humor.funny]
NULL is the culmination of five years of work by a team of language designers and computer science mathematicians.
These are just a few of the many ways NULL is superior to all current computer languages.
A NULL compiler can be written first in NULL without ever needing to be written in a lower level language.

 How to enable null session shares on a Windows 2000-based computer
When you do so, anonymous (null) session connections are prevented on the computers on which this policy is applied.

 Null pointer
When referring to computer memory a null pointer is a command used to direct a software program or operating system to an empty location in the computer memory.
In computer programming a null pointer is a pointer that does point to any object or function.
Commonly the null pointer is used to denote the end of a memory search or processing event.

 Null character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On many computer and data terminal keyboards, it was possible to type a null character by holding down the Control key and pressing "@" (which usually required also holding Shift and pressing another key such as "2" or "P").
The null character (also null terminator) is a character with the value zero, present in the ASCII and Unicode character sets, and available in nearly all mainstream programming languages.
In null-terminated strings, the first occurring null character is interpreted as the end of the string.

 How to set up a remote debug session using a null modem cable
It is important that you use a null modem cable because if you use a typical serial cable the target computer expects a serial device, not another serial port, and you cannot debug the computer.
This article describes how to set up the debugger on a Windows-based computer by using a null modem cable that is attached to another Windows-based computer.
When you use a null modem to make a direct serial connection between two computers, your cable must be wired as shown in the following tables.

 Null-move heuristic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer chess programs, the null-move heuristic is a heuristic technique used to enhance the speed of the
In employing the null-move heuristic, the computer program first forfeits the turn of the side whose turn it is to move, and then performs an alpha-beta search on the resulting position to a shallower depth than it would have searched the current position had it not used the null move heuristic.
The null-move heuristic is based on the fact that most reasonable chess moves improve the position for the side that played them.

 NULL - The Ultimate Computer Language [rec.humor.funny]
NULL is the culmination of five years of work by a team of language designers and computer science mathematicians.
These are just a few of the many ways NULL is superior to all current computer languages.
Described by Iusi Nogoto, the foremost Japanese fourth generation language expert, as "the only truly elegant computer language ever devised." NULL, as it is known, was developed by the same department that originally invented the wrong number, the busy signal, and the phrase, "The number you have reached is not in service."

 Interfacing The Serial / RS-232 Port
You will most commonly encounter a framing error when using a null modem linking two computers or a protocol analyzer when the speed at which the data is being sent is different to that of what you have the UART set to receive it at.
If your device needs to be mounted a far distance away from the computer then 3 core cable (Null Modem Configuration) is going to be a lot cheaper that running 19 or 25 core cable.
The aim is to make to computer think it is talking to a modem rather than another computer.

 The RS232 Standard
At that time, data communications was thought to mean digital data exchange between a centrally located mainframe computer and a remote computer terminal, or possibly between two terminals without a computer involved.
This cable may also serve as an extension cable to increase the distance between a computer and serial device.
This simplified null modem cable uses only Request-to-Send (pin 4) and Clear-to-Send (pin 5) as handshaking lines; DTE Ready, DCE Ready, and Carrier Detect are not employed, so this cable should not be used with modems.

 Null Modem
These days, null modems are particularly useful with portable computers because they enable the computer to exchange data with a larger system.
The null modem is a way for those of us that missed the time of do-it-yourself computer hobby kits and garage-based startups to relive the excitement of those golden days of discovery and innovation.
A null modem is a specially designed cable that allows a user to connect two computers directly to each other via their communications ports (RS-232 ports).

 Computer chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Computer chess programs consider chess moves as a game tree.
Most computer chess programs are divided into an engine (which computes the best move given a current position) and a user interface.
In some strategy games, computers easily win every game, while in others they are regularly beaten even by amateurs.

 Chapter 9
The strcat() function copies characters starting from the address passed as its second argument up to and including the first NULL character it finds in the second string; it places them starting at the first NULL character after the address passed as the first argument.
Searching for the NULL character with strchr() or strrchr() gives us a convenient method of setting a pointer to the last character in a string.
If not, it stops at the first character that differs and returns a positive integer if the character in the second string argument at that point comes lexicographically after the character in the first string argument in the computer’s encoding system, and negative if it comes before.

 String (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer programming and some branches of mathematics, strings are sequences of various simple objects.
Even though string functions are very useful to a computer programmer, a computer programmer using these functions should be mindful that a string function in one language could behave differently or have a similar or completely different function name, parameters, syntax and outcomes.
While character strings are very common uses of strings, a string in computer science may refer generically to any vector of homogenously typed data.
