  2. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    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.

  3. JavaScript syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_syntax

    A string in JavaScript is a sequence of characters. In JavaScript, strings can be created directly (as literals) by placing the series of characters between double (") or single (') quotes. Such strings must be written on a single line, but may include escaped newline characters (such as \n).

    a modified_identifier_list is a comma-separated list of two or more occurrences of modified_identifier; and a declarator_list is a comma-separated list of declarators, which can be of the form identifier As object_creation_expression (object initializer declarator) ,

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    A fuzzy Mediawiki search for "angry emoticon" has as a suggested result "andré emotions" In computer science, approximate string matching (often colloquially referred to as fuzzy string searching) is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly).

  6. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    The usual context of wildcard characters is in globbing similar names in a list of files, whereas regexes are usually employed in applications that pattern-match text strings in general. For example, the regex ^ [ \t] +| [ \t] +$ matches excess whitespace at the beginning or end of a line.

  7. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    It is at least the absolute value of the difference of the sizes of the two strings. It is at most the length of the longer string. It is zero if and only if the strings are equal. If the strings have the same size, the Hamming distance is an upper bound on the Levenshtein distance. The Hamming distance is the number of positions at which the ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Damerau–Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau–Levenshtein_distance

    Adding transpositions adds significant complexity. 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.
