Industry:Computer science
The transitive reduction of a directed graph G is the directed graph G' with the smallest number of edges such that for every path between vertices in G, G' has a path between those vertices.
Industry:Computer science
The types or domains, and order, in some representations, of inputs to and outputs from a function. For instance, the signature of the C library function <tt>strncmp()</tt> (compare up to n characters of two strings) is <tt>int (char *, char *, int)</tt>. That is, it takes two C strings and an integer, and returns an integer.
