A string is defined as a contiguous sequence of code units terminated by the first zero code unit (often called the NUL code unit). [1] This means a string cannot contain the zero code unit, as the first one seen marks the end of the string. The length of a string is the number of code units before the zero code unit. [1]
A function returns to its caller by the return statement. When return is followed by an expression, the value is returned to the caller as the value of the function. Encountering the end of the function is equivalent to a return with no expression. In that case, if the function is declared as returning a value and the caller tries to use the ...
Null-terminated string, known as a C string or C-style string due to it's use by the C programming language; C string handling, C functions to work with null-terminated strings; C-string (clothing), a specific type of thong, or a brand of women shorts; C string (music), one of the strings on various instruments, for example the lowest string on ...
In terminated strings, the terminating code is not an allowable character in any string. Strings with length field do not have this limitation and can also store arbitrary binary data. An example of a null-terminated string stored in a 10-byte buffer, along with its ASCII (or more modern UTF-8) representation as 8-bit hexadecimal numbers is:
For example: {{wikidata|label|raw}} returns the Q-identifier (also known as QID or identifier) of the Wikidata item connected to the current page (e.g. "Q55"). Label (also name) is the main name given to identify an entity (i.e. an item or a property). E.g.: the item with the item identifier d:Q7378 has the English label "elephant". Every ...
^ means the start of the string, and $ means the end. [abc] means any symbol out of a, b or c, and [^abc] means anything that isn't a, b or c. Preceding any of the above with a % takes away their normal meaning and makes them mean "literally" the symbol they are.
concatenate(string 1,string 2) returns string. Description Concatenates (joins) two strings to each other, returning the combined string. Note that some languages like C have mutable strings, so really the second string is being appended to the first string and the mutated string is returned.
In C and C++, return exp; (where exp is an expression) is a statement that tells a function to return execution of the program to the calling function, and report the value of exp. If a function has the return type void , the return statement can be used without a value, in which case the program just breaks out of the current function and ...
