  2. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    If n is greater than the length of the string then most implementations return the whole string (exceptions exist – see code examples). Note that for variable-length encodings such as UTF-8, UTF-16 or Shift-JIS, it can be necessary to remove string positions at the end, in order to avoid invalid strings.

  3. Bash (Unix shell) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)

    Bash can execute the vast majority of Bourne shell scripts without modification, with the exception of Bourne shell scripts stumbling into fringe syntax behavior interpreted differently in Bash or attempting to run a system command matching a newer Bash builtin, etc. Bash command syntax includes ideas drawn from the Korn Shell (ksh) and the C ...

  4. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    The length of a string is found by searching for the (first) NUL. This can be slow as it takes O( n ) ( linear time ) with respect to the string length. It also means that a string cannot contain a NUL (there is a NUL in memory, but it is after the last character, not in the string).

  5. String interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interpolation

    There are two main types of variable-expanding algorithms for variable interpolation: [3] Replace and expand placeholders: creating a new string from the original one, by find–replace operations. Find variable reference (placeholder), replace it by its variable value. This algorithm offers no cache strategy.

  6. Shell script - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_script

    One example of this is Bash, which offers the same grammar and syntax as the Bourne shell, and which also provides a POSIX-compliant mode. [13] As such, most shell scripts written for the Bourne shell can be run in BASH, but the reverse may not be true since BASH has extensions which are not present in the Bourne shell.

  7. test (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_(Unix)

    The test command in Unix evaluates the expression parameter. In most recent shell implementations, it is a shell builtin, even though the external version still exists.In the second form of the command, the [ ] (brackets) must be surrounded by blank spaces (this is because [is a program and POSIX compatible shells require a space between the program name and its arguments).

  8. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)

    The length of a string can also be stored explicitly, for example by prefixing the string with the length as a byte value. This convention is used in many Pascal dialects; as a consequence, some people call such a string a Pascal string or P-string. Storing the string length as byte limits the maximum string length to 255.

  9. String literal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_literal

    A string literal or anonymous string is a literal for a string value in the source code of a computer program. Modern programming languages commonly use a quoted sequence of characters, formally "bracketed delimiters", as in x = "foo", where , "foo" is a string literal with value foo. Methods such as escape sequences can be used to avoid the ...
