terminology - What does it mean when data is scalar? - Software . . . A scalar is a simple single numeric value (as in 1, 2 3, 3 14, etc ), usually integer, fixed point, or float (single or double), as opposed to an array, structure, object, complex vector (real plus imaginary or magnitude plus angle components), higher dimensional vector or matrix (etc ) data type that contains more than one single numeric value
What are the scalar fields and composite fields in JAVA? The terms 'scalar type' or 'scalar field' are usually used to contrast them with compound types fields A compound type is easiest to define and it is a type that contains multiple distinct elements
What is meant by a primitive data type? - Software Engineering Stack . . . For example, in languages like C and C++, you have a number of built-in scalar types - int, float, double, char, etc These are "primitive" in the sense that they cannot be decomposed into simpler components From these basic types you can define new types - pointer types, array types, struct types, union types, etc
matlab - Plotting electrical field lines on a 2d plane - Software . . . This question is ambiguously defined Electrical field lines (as referenced in the title) are not the same as equipotential lines Specifically the electric field E followed by electric field lines is related to the electric potential field V by E = −∇V In the case of electrical potential, this is a scalar field so equipotential lines are simply contours of constant value of that field
Strategy for storing mixed value and reference types without boxing In C++ this could be an array of union of scalar and pointer types, but that strategy is unavailable (or at least highly unsafe) in NET This is a place where I really don't need a GC (object destruction is deterministic), so calling out to unmanaged code is a possibility
