  2. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    The closeness of a match is measured in terms of the number of primitive operations necessary to convert the string into an exact match. This number is called the edit distance between the string and the pattern. The usual primitive operations are: [1] insertion: cot → coat; deletion: coat → cot

  3. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    In the figure, the fraction 1/9000 is displayed in Excel. Although this number has a decimal representation that is an infinite string of ones, Excel displays only the leading 15 figures. In the second line, the number one is added to the fraction, and again Excel displays only 15 figures. In the third line, one is subtracted from the sum using ...

  4. String metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_metric

    The most widely known string metric is a rudimentary one called the Levenshtein distance (also known as edit distance). [2] It operates between two input strings, returning a number equivalent to the number of substitutions and deletions needed in order to transform one input string into another.

  5. Luhn mod N algorithm - Wikipedia

    And the function to validate a string (with the check character as the last character) is: bool ValidateCheckCharacter ( string input ) { int factor = 1 ; int sum = 0 ; int n = NumberOfValidInputCharacters (); // Starting from the right, work leftwards // Now, the initial "factor" will always be "1" // since the last character is the check ...

  6. Spreadsheet - Wikipedia

    Data might include the string of text hello world, the number 5 or the date 10-Sep-97. A formula would begin with the equals sign, =5*3, but this would normally be invisible because the display shows the result of the calculation, 15 in this case, not the formula itself. This may lead to confusion in some cases.

  7. Don't repeat yourself - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself

    The text string "comment" might be repeated in the label, the HTML tag, in a read function name, a private variable, database DDL, queries, and so on. A DRY approach eliminates that redundancy by using frameworks that reduce or eliminate all those editing tasks except the most important ones, leaving the extensibility of adding new knowledge ...

  8. Longest repeated substring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_repeated_substring...

    The problem of finding the longest substring with at least occurrences can be solved by first preprocessing the tree to count the number of leaf descendants for each internal node, and then finding the deepest node with at least leaf descendants. To avoid overlapping repeats, you can check that the list of suffix lengths has no consecutive ...

  9. AutoNumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoNumber

    AutoNumber is a type of data used in Microsoft Access tables to generate an automatically incremented numeric counter. It may be used to create an identity column which uniquely identifies each record of a table.
