| | | | | Suppose you knew that 9,273,284,218,074,431 was a perfect 7th power. How would you compute the 7th root? This is a long overdue sequel to the previous post, in which the author promised to derive an efficient algorithm for computing exact k-th roots of integers. That is, computing the k-th root of an integer assumed to... | |

| | | | | In this post, we are going to take a deep dive into pointer tagging, where metadata is encoded into a word-sized pointer. Doing so allows us to keep a compact representation that can be passed around in machine registers. This is very common in implementing dynamic programming languages, but can really be used anywhere that additional runtime information is needed about a pointer. We will look at a handful of different ways these pointers can be encoded and see how the compiler can optimize them for diff... | |

| | | Array and hash table are probably the most important data structures. Some programming languages such as Perl, Lua and Javascript, almost build the language core on top of the two data structures. While array is straightforward to implement, hash table is not. This is why we have paid continuous efforts in improving the hash table... | ||
