This book aims to educate the practitioner on pseudo-randomness in particular and discusses a few modern algorithms for random number generation. We attempt to describe what it means for a phenomenon to be random, discuss an approach to quantifying the amount of randomness and testing for statistical quality. A software testing suite is introduced to measure the performance and quality of arbitrary pseudo-random number generators, which are implemented in the V programming language. V, also known as vlang, is a new general-purpose programming language inspired by Google’s Go Programming Language that is easy to use, fast, and simple to instrument. Alex Medvednikov, the author of V, graciously responded to our inquiry about the motivation behind creating the language. It was publicly introduced in 2019, although work on it began in 2017, in private, when Medvednikov was frustrated with the low performance of C interoperability in Go. Crashes in C libraries are also hard to debug in Go. The canonical backend for V is the C backend, which transpiles V source code to human readable C code. The C code is then compiled with either the bundled TCC compiler or the system’s own compiler. V is a good option for users who are not familiar with C, but do not want to compromise on performance for ease-of-use. Bundling TCC allows users who have no prior experience with C to be able to use V immediately without having to install a C compiler first. This also makes it useful for Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines. V is at least 6 times faster than Python (often it is 1-2 orders of magnitude faster). This makes it great for prototyping and then polishing that code for production use. The reader is encouraged to test this claim themselves by implementing a suitable algorithm (without optimisations) in V and the language of their choice.

This book encompasses three distinct yet interconnected objectives. Firstly, it aims to present and elucidate novel metaheuristic algorithms that feature innovative search mechanisms, setting them apart from conventional metaheuristic methods. Secondly, this book endeavors to systematically assess the performance of well-established algorithms across a spectrum of intricate and real-world problems. Finally, this book serves as a vital resource for the analysis and evaluation of metaheuristic algorithms. It provides a foundational framework for assessing their performance, particularly in terms of the balance between exploration and exploitation, as well as their capacity to obtain optimal solutions. Collectively, these objectives contribute to advancing our understanding of metaheuristic methods and their applicability in addressing diverse and demanding optimization tasks. The materials were compiled from a teaching perspective. For this reason, the book is primarily intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computational Mathematics. Metaheuristic methods are powerful problem-solving techniques that are widely used in optimization when dealing with complex, high-dimensional, or computationally expensive problems. These methods provide a general framework for exploring and refining potential solutions to find near-optimal or optimal solutions in large solution spaces. Unlike traditional optimization algorithms that rely on specific mathematical models or problem structures, metaheuristics are more versatile and adaptable. They draw inspiration from natural processes and phenomena, such as evolution, simulated annealing, or swarm behavior, to guide the search for solutions.

Sharpen your Java skills and boost your potential as an IT specialist. This book introduces you to the basic Java features and APIs needed to prepare for a career in programming and development. You’ll first receive an introduction to Java and then explore language features ranging from comments though exception/error handling, focusing mainly on language syntax and a few select syntax-related APIs. This constitutes the heart of the book, and you’ll use these building blocks to construct simple Java programs, and learn where Java’s implementations of expressions (and operators), and statements diverge from other languages. The final few chapters tour some additional APIs such as the Math class, related types, String and StringBuffer, and System. Along the way you’ll discover some interesting programs, such as Graph (a sine/cosine wave-plotting application) and WC (a word-counting application). Two appendixes provide quick references to Java’s supported reserved words, and to Java’s supported operators. Equipped with this knowledge, Learn Java Fundamentals will provide you the pathway to explore additional APIs on your own, and increase your Java awareness. Java is like a two-sided coin. From one side, it’s a computer programming language. Conversely, it’s a virtual platform (the hardware and software context in which a program runs) for running programs written in that language. For developers, programmers, and students with little or no Java experience.

One of the joys of product development, whether it be software, service, or hardware, is getting it right. The way to get it right is to uncover the real business problem, and to write the requirements for the solution that best solves that problem. Without the right requirements it is impossible to build the right solution. Mastering the Requirements Process, Fourth Edition, gives you an industry-proven process for getting to the essence of the business problem and then writing unambiguous and testable requirements for its solution. Many software development projects concentrate solely on the software. This might seem reasonable—after all, most software projects manage to produce some software. However, concentrating almost exclusively on the software is a little like trying to build the Golden Gate Bridge by concentrating on steel. The software, if it is to be valuable to the customer, must solve the customer’s business problem. We build an awful lot of software. Millions (if not billions) of lines of code are produced each year. Much of this code produces the wrong results—it simply does not solve the correct problem. And yet, this is not down to poor requirements, it is down to the project rushing into building a presumed solution without discovering the real requirements.

Learn the principles of good software design and then turn those principles into great code. This book introduces you to software engineering ― from the application of engineering principles to the development of software. You'll see how to run a software development project, examine the different phases of a project, and learn how to design and implement programs that solve specific problems. This book is also about code construction ― how to write great programs and make them work. This new third edition is revamped to reflect significant changes in the software development landscape with updated design and coding examples and figures. Extreme programming takes a backseat, making way for expanded coverage of the most crucial agile methodologies today: Scrum, Lean Software Development, Kanban, and Dark Scrum. Agile principles are revised to explore further functionalities of requirement gathering. The authors venture beyond imperative and object-oriented languages, exploring the realm of scripting languages in an expanded chapter on Code Construction. The Project Management Essentials chapter has been revamped and expanded to incorporate "Software Development” to discuss the crucial interpersonal nature of joint software creation. Here’s the definition of software development that we’ll use in this book: software development is the process of taking a set of requirements from a user (a problem statement), analyzing them, designing a solution to the problem, and then implementing that solution on a computer.
