Not if it is a good book; that should be a covered topic in any discussion of security.
Buffer index typically refers to the position within a buffer or memory area where data is stored or processed. It can be used to keep track of the current location or offset within the buffer, allowing for efficient data manipulation and transfer. In networking or programming contexts, buffer index is commonly used when reading or writing data from/to memory buffers.
If you visit this website, not only can you search the Social Security Index, but you can also read some important information pertaining to the Social Security Index at the bottom where it says "About Social Security Index": http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/ssdi/
The social security index is a database of deceased persons in the United States identified by social security. The index is available for public access to find specific records.
Anyone who holds a Social Security Card at the time of their death will be listed on the Social Security Death Index.
Index pressure refers to the relative weight or influence of a particular stock or security within a stock market index. It is determined by factors such as the market capitalization of the component stock or the price movement of the security in relation to the overall index. High index pressure suggests that the performance of that particular stock or security has a significant impact on the overall movement of the index.
The market sensitivity index of individual security ( or portfolio security) mesures the systematic risk of a security. The sensitivity index is denoted by Beta It forms part of the CAPM(Capital asset pricing model). and is calculated as follows: Beta=COVsm/VAR^2 M Where S stands for security, and m for the Market portfolio.
In C Programming arrays are given a size, which is the number of elements in the array. Space is allocated for an array in memory. The is the only memory that the array is supposed to use. C is a programming language that has very little restrictions regarding what it will allow you to do. If you try to write to a memory location that is not supposed to be written over, C will let you, however sometimes the operating system will prevent this. When an array writes past where it is supposed to this is called array overflow. For example. If is an array is designed to hold 50 integers and the program adds 51 integers then the extra integer is written at the end of the array and had to be written in memory not designated for the array.
There are lots of places online where you can find information about the social security index. You can start by going to socialsecurity.gov. You should be able to find the information you require here.
Uninitialised variables take on whatever value happens to reside at the memory address to which the variable was allocated at the point of instantiation. It is a "garbage value" because we cannot predict what the initial value will actually be at runtime. All variables must be initialised before they are used (read); if we use an uninitialised variable our program has undefined behaviour. Ideally, initialisation should always occur at the point of instantiation. However, there can be valid reasons for delaying initialisation. For instance, when we read data from a disk file into a memory buffer, it doesn't make any sense to waste time initialising the buffer with values we're about to overwrite: void read_file (std::ifstream& file) { char buffer[1024]; // uninitialised! while (file.good()) { size_t index=0; while (file.good() && index<1024) { file >> buffer[index++]; // fill the buffer one character at a time } if (!file.good()) { if (file.eof()) --index; // index is off-by-one, so adjust else throw std::exception ("Unknown error in read_file()"); } // use the buffer... } } In the above example, index is used as a loop control variable in the inner loop and ultimately tells us how many characters were read into the buffer (such that index<=1024 upon exiting the inner loop). If EOF was reached, index will be off by one because we attempted to read one more character than actually exists, so we decrement accordingly. We could handle other read errors here but, for the sake of brevity, we throw an exception and let the caller deal with it. Assuming no read errors occurred, we can safely use the buffer (all indices less than index are valid). If the file contains more than 1024 characters, the next iteration of the outer loop will overwrite the buffer, so there's no need to flush it. Now, consider what happens if we (accidently) fail to initialise index with the value 0: void read_file (std::ifstream& file) { char buffer[1024]; // uninitialised! while (file.good()) { size_t index; // WARNING: uninitialised while (file.good() && index<1024) { file >> buffer[index++]; // fill the buffer one character at a time } if (!file.good()) { if (file.eof()) --index; // index is off-by-one, so adjust else throw std::exception ("Unknown error in read_file()"); } // use the buffer... } } This code has undefined behaviour. Hope for a compiler warning! If we suppose that the code compiles without warning (or we unwisely choose to ignore such warnings), there are several possible outcomes. Note that it is reasonable to assume that index will always be allocated the same address so, regardless of the initial value, it will hold whatever value was generated upon the previous iteration of the inner loop. 1. If index happens to hold the (correct) value zero, then the inner loop will read up to 1024 characters. However, any subsequent iteration will incur undefined behaviour because index would then be 1024 which is beyond the valid range of buffer. 2. If index happens to hold a value greater than zero but less than 1024, all characters before buffer[index] will remain uninitialised. Upon exiting the inner loop, there is no way to determine where writing began and index will tell us we've read more characters than were actually read. Any subsequent iteration will incur undefined behaviour because index would then be 1024 which is beyond the valid range of buffer. 3. If index happens to hold a value greater than or equal to 1024, the inner loop will never execute (nothing will be read from the file), thus file.good() can never become false and the outer loop becomes an infinite loop. Any attempt to read buffer[index] or any value beyond buffer[1023] incurs undefined behaviour.
The Social Security Death Index is not updated on a set schedule but it is usually updated once a week. It currently contains over 89 million records.
Instruments that derive their value from another security (the underlying security), such as a share, share price index, currency or bond.
The social security death index is a file that contains a record of all deceased persons who had a social security number. The list is updated weekly and contains the first and last name, social security number, birth date, death date, and last known residence of each individual.
