  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    Existing Eiffel software uses the string classes (such as STRING_8) from the Eiffel libraries, but Eiffel software written for .NET must use the .NET string class (System.String) in many cases, for example when calling .NET methods which expect items of the .NET type to be passed as arguments. So, the conversion of these types back and forth ...

  3. Automatic variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_variable

    All variables declared within a block of code are automatic by default. An uninitialized automatic variable has an undefined value until it is assigned a valid value of its type. [1] The storage-class specifier auto can be added to these variable declarations as well, but as they are all automatic by default, this is entirely redundant and ...

  4. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    This is the case for tree-based implementations, one representative being the <map> container of C++. [16] The order of enumeration is key-independent and is instead based on the order of insertion. This is the case for the "ordered dictionary" in .NET Framework, the LinkedHashMap of Java and Python. [17] [18] [19] The latter is more common.

  5. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    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.

  6. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    A basic example is in the argv argument to the main function in C (and C++), which is given in the prototype as char **argv—this is because the variable argv itself is a pointer to an array of strings (an array of arrays), so *argv is a pointer to the 0th string (by convention the name of the program), and **argv is the 0th character of the ...

  7. Generic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_programming

    As in C++ and Java, nested generic types such as Dictionary<string, List<int>> are valid types, however are advised against for member signatures in code analysis design rules. [ 29 ] .NET allows six varieties of generic type constraints using the where keyword including restricting generic types to be value types, to be classes, to have ...

  8. Dictionary coder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_coder

    A dictionary coder, also sometimes known as a substitution coder, is a class of lossless data compression algorithms which operate by searching for matches between the text to be compressed and a set of strings contained in a data structure (called the 'dictionary') maintained by the encoder. When the encoder finds such a match, it substitutes ...

  9. C string handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_string_handling

    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]
