On this page you can get a detailed analysis of a word or phrase, produced by the best artificial intelligence technology to date:
In computer science, an offset within an array or other data structure object is an integer indicating the distance (displacement) between the beginning of the object and a given element or point, presumably within the same object. The concept of a distance is valid only if all elements of the object are of the same size (typically given in bytes or words).
For example, if A
is an array of characters containing "abcdef"
, the fourth element containing the character 'd'
has an offset of three from the start of A
.
