A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters for specifying the boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text, mathematical expressions or other data streams. [1] [2] An example of a delimiter is the comma character, which acts as a field delimiter in a sequence of comma-separated values.
Line vs. block – a line comment starts with a delimiter and continues to the end of the line (newline marker) whereas a block comment starts with one delimiter and ends with another and can cross lines
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 terms "line-delimited JSON" and "newline-delimited JSON" are often used without clarifying if embedded newlines are supported. In the past the NDJ specification ("newline-delimited JSON") [8] allowed comments to be embedded if the first two characters of a given line were "//". This could not be used with standard JSON parsers if comments ...
Many languages support both block and line comments – using different delimiters for each. For example, C, C++ and their many derivatives support block comments delimited by /* and */ and line comments delimited by //. Other languages support only one type of comment. [7]
When using quoting, if one wishes to represent the delimiter itself in a string literal, one runs into the problem of delimiter collision. For example, if the delimiter is a double quote, one cannot simply represent a double quote itself by the literal """ as the second quote is interpreted as the end of the string literal, not as the value of ...
CSV is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values (many implementations of CSV import/export tools allow other separators to be used; for example, the use of a "Sep=^" row as the first row in the *.csv file will cause Excel to open the file expecting caret "^" to be the separator instead of comma ","). Simple CSV implementations ...
The Math object contains various math-related constants (for example, π) and functions (for example, cosine). (Note that the Math object has no constructor, unlike Array or Date. All its methods are "static", that is "class" methods.) All the trigonometric functions use angles expressed in radians, not degrees or grads.
