String Delimiter
String Delimiter
A special character that marks the beginning and end of a string. It acts like a gate that lets you know where the string starts and ends.
String Data Type
String Data Type
A data type that is used to store a string of characters. It's like a container holding a sequence of characters.
String
String
A sequence of characters used to represent text, numbers, or other symbols. It's like a string of beads, with each bead representing a character.

Study Notes
Divisibility
- Divisibility is a mathematical concept referring to integers.
- If a, b are integers and a ≠ 0, then 'a divides b' (denoted as a|b) if there's an integer m such that b = am.
- A natural number p (not equal to 1) is prime if its only positive factors are p and 1.
- Any number greater than 1 that is not prime is a composite number.
Prime Factorization
- Every natural number greater than 1 has a unique prime factorization.
- The prime factorization of a natural number expresses it as a product of prime numbers raised to unique powers.
- Example: 2400 = 2⁵ × 3¹ × 5².
Relatively Prime Integers
- Two integers a and b are relatively prime if their greatest common divisor (gcd) is 1.
- This means they share no common factors greater than 1.
Euclidean Algorithm
- A method for finding the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two integers.
- It involves repeatedly applying the division algorithm.
- The gcd of two integers is expressed as an integer combination of the two integers.
Diophantine Equations
- A linear equation of the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are integers.
- A solution is an ordered pair of integers (x, y) that satisfy the equation.
- If gcd(a, b)|c, then there are infinitely many integer solutions.
- If gcd(a, b)|c, then there is no integer solution.
- If a solution is found (x₁, y₁), then all other solutions are of the form: x = x₁ + b/d * k and y = y₁ − a/d * k, where d = gcd(a,b), k ∈ Z.
Elementary Proof Techniques
- Direct Proof: Assume the hypothesis is true and deduce the conclusion.
- Contrapositive Proof: Assuming the negation of the conclusion and showing that leads to the negation of the hypothesis.
- Contradiction Proof (Indirect Proof): Assume the negation of the conclusion is true and show this leads to a contradiction of the hypothesis and/or previously established fact.
- Proof by Induction: Proving a statement for all natural numbers (e.g., 1,2,3...). It involves a basis step (proving the statement is true for a starting natural number) and an inductive step (proving if the statement is true for a natural number k, it is also true for k+1).
The Dart Board Problem
- The problem concerns the set of positive integers that can be generated by combining a and b.
- When a and b are relatively prime, the set of achievable values is (ab − a − b, ∞).
