For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string.
Compares two strings (three-way comparison) strncmp [32] wcsncmp [33] Compares a specific number of bytes in two strings strcoll [34] wcscoll [35] Compares two strings according to the current locale strchr [36] wcschr [37] Finds the first occurrence of a byte in a string strrchr [38] wcsrchr [39] Finds the last occurrence of a byte in a string ...
COBOL uses the STRING statement to concatenate string variables. MATLAB and Octave use the syntax "[x y]" to concatenate x and y. Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET can also use the "+" sign but at the risk of ambiguity if a string representing a number and a number are together. Microsoft Excel allows both "&" and the function "=CONCATENATE(X,Y)".
In C, the functions strcmp and memcmp perform a three-way comparison between strings and memory buffers, respectively. They return a negative number when the first argument is lexicographically smaller than the second, zero when the arguments are equal, and a positive number otherwise.
In information theory, linguistics, and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. The Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other.
The result is that LCS(R 2, C 3) also contains the two subsequences, (A) and (G). For LCS(R 2, C 4), A matches A, which is appended to the upper left cell, giving (GA). For LCS(R 2, C 5), A does not match T. Comparing the two sequences, (GA) and (G), the longest is (GA), so LCS(R 2, C 5) is (GA).
In computer science, an algorithm for matching wildcards (also known as globbing) is useful in comparing text strings that may contain wildcard syntax. [1] Common uses of these algorithms include command-line interfaces, e.g. the Bourne shell [2] or Microsoft Windows command-line [3] or text editor or file manager, as well as the interfaces for some search engines [4] and databases.
