Chance \Chance\ (ch[adot]ns), n. [F. chance, OF. cheance, fr. LL. cadentia a allusion to the falling of the dice), fr. L. cadere to fall; akin to Skr. [87]ad to fall, L. cedere to yield, E. cede. Cf. {Cadence}.] 1. A supposed material or psychical agent or mode of activity other than a force, law, or purpose; fortune; fate; -- in this sense often personified. It is strictly and philosophically true in nature and reason that there is no such thing as chance or accident; it being evident that these words do not signify anything really existing, anything that is truly an agent or the cause of any event; but they signify merely men's ignorance of the real and immediate cause. --Samuel Clark. Any society into which chance might throw him. --Macaulay. That power Which erring men call Chance. --Milton. 2. The operation or activity of such agent. By chance a priest came down that way. --Luke x. 31. 3. The supposed effect of such an agent; something that befalls, as the result of unknown or unconsidered forces; the issue of uncertain conditions; an event not calculated upon; an unexpected occurrence; a happening; accident; fortuity; casualty. It was a chance that happened to us. --1 Sam. vi. 9. The Knave of Diamonds tries his wily arts, And wins (O shameful chance!) the Queen of Hearts. --Pope. I spake of most disastrous chance. --Shak. 4. A possibility; a likelihood; an opportunity; -- with reference to a doubtful result; as, a chance to escape; a chance for life; the chances are all against him. So weary with disasters, tugged with fortune. That I would get my life on any chance, To mend it, or be rid on 't --Shak. 5. (Math.) Probability. Note: The mathematical expression, of a chance is the ratio of frequency with which an event happens in the long run. If an event may happen in a ways and may fail in b ways, and each of these a + b ways is equally likely, the chance, or probability, that the event will happen is measured by the fraction a/a + b, and the chance, or probability, that it will fail is measured by b/a + b. {Chance comer}, one who comes unexpectedly. {The last chance}, the sole remaining ground of hope. {The main chance}, the chief opportunity; that upon which reliance is had, esp. self-interest. {Theory of chances}, {Doctrine of chances} (Math.), that branch of mathematics which treats of the probability of the occurrence of particular events, as the fall of dice in given positions. {To mind one's chances}, to take advantage of every circumstance; to seize every opportunity. | |

(Astron.)

See under {Normal}. {Personal equation} (Astron.), the difference between an observed result and the true qualities or peculiarities in the observer; particularly the difference, in an average of a large number of observation, between the instant when an observer notes a phenomenon, as the transit of a star, and the assumed instant of its actual occurrence; or, relatively, the difference between these instants as noted by two observers. It is usually only a fraction of a second; -- sometimes applied loosely to differences of judgment or method occasioned by temperamental qualities of individuals. {Theory of equations} (Math.), the branch of algebra that treats of the properties of a single algebraic equation of any degree containing one unknown quantity. | |

Turbo C Turbo C, version 1.0, was introduced by Borland in 1987. It offered the first integrated edit-compile-run development environment for {C} on {IBM PC}s. It ran in 384KB of memory. It allowed inline assembly, supported all memory models, and offered optimisations for speed, size, {constant folding}, and {jump elimination}. Version 1.5 shipped on five 360 KB diskettes of uncompressed files, and came with sample C programs, including a stripped down spreadsheet called mcalc. Turbo C 2.0 has a debugger, a fast assembler, and an extensive graphics library. Turbo C has been largely supplanted by {Turbo C++}, introduced circa September, 1990 for both {MS-DOS} and {Microsoft Windows}.
