String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both).. Most programming languages that have a string datatype will have some string functions although there may be other low-level ways within each language to handle strings directly.
The simplest operation is taking a substring, a snippet of the string taken at a certain offset (called an "index") from the start or end. There are a number of legacy templates offering this but for new code use {{#invoke:String|sub|string|startIndex|endIndex}}. The indices are one-based (meaning the first is number one), inclusive (meaning ...
This is the {{Str startswith}} meta-template.. It returns "yes" if the second parameter is the start of the first parameter. Both parameters are trimmed before use. Examples
This is most often done by using a prefix, often one or more underscores. C and C++ are notable in this respect: C99 reserves identifiers that start with two underscores or an underscore followed by an uppercase letter, and further reserves identifiers that start with a single underscore (in the ordinary and tag spaces) for use in file scope ...
By convention, this prefix is only used in cases when the identifier would otherwise be either a reserved keyword (such as for and while), which may not be used as an identifier without the prefix, or a contextual keyword (such as from and where), in which cases the prefix is not strictly required (at least not at its declaration; for example ...
P denotes the string to be searched for, called the pattern. Its length is m. S[i] denotes the character at index i of string S, counting from 1. S[i..j] denotes the substring of string S starting at index i and ending at j, inclusive. A prefix of S is a substring S[1..i] for some i in range [1, l], where l is the length of S.
A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.
