  3. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    In object-oriented languages, string functions are often implemented as properties and methods of string objects. In functional and list-based languages a string is represented as a list (of character codes), therefore all list-manipulation procedures could be considered string functions.

  4. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    More generally, an equation E=F between regular-expression terms with variables holds if, and only if, its instantiation with different variables replaced by different symbol constants holds. [30] [31] Every regular expression can be written solely in terms of the Kleene star and set unions over finite words. This is a surprisingly difficult ...

  5. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports a wide variety of string operations. Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify ...

  6. 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

  7. Concatenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concatenation

    In formal language theory and pattern matching (including regular expressions), the concatenation operation on strings is generalised to an operation on sets of strings as follows: For two sets of strings S 1 and S 2, the concatenation S 1 S 2 consists of all strings of the form vw where v is a string from S 1 and w is a string from S 2, or ...

  8. Damerau–Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau–Levenshtein_distance

    The difference between the two algorithms consists in that the optimal string alignment algorithm computes the number of edit operations needed to make the strings equal under the condition that no substring is edited more than once, whereas the second one presents no such restriction. Take for example the edit distance between CA and ABC.

  9. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    In many programming languages, a particular syntax of strings is used to represent regular expressions, which are patterns describing string characters. However, it is possible to perform some string pattern matching within the same framework that has been discussed throughout this article.
