  2. Substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring

    A string is a prefix [1] of a string if there exists a string such that =. A proper prefix of a string is not equal to the string itself; [2] some sources [3] in addition restrict a proper prefix to be non-empty. A prefix can be seen as a special case of a substring.

  3. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    A string (or word [23] or expression [24]) over Σ is any finite sequence of symbols from Σ. [25] For example, if Σ = {0, 1}, then 01011 is a string over Σ. The length of a string s is the number of symbols in s (the length of the sequence) and can be any non-negative integer; it is often denoted as |s|.

  4. String operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_operations

    A string homomorphism (often referred to simply as a homomorphism in formal language theory) is a string substitution such that each character is replaced by a single string. That is, f ( a ) = s {\displaystyle f(a)=s} , where s {\displaystyle s} is a string, for each character a {\displaystyle a} .

  5. 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]

  6. Edit distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance

    Ukkonen's 1985 algorithm takes a string p, called the pattern, and a constant k; it then builds a deterministic finite state automaton that finds, in an arbitrary string s, a substring whose edit distance to p is at most k [13] (cf. the Aho–Corasick algorithm, which similarly constructs an automaton to search for any of a number of patterns ...

  7. Suffix array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_array

    The BWT can therefore be computed in linear time by first constructing a suffix array of the text and then deducing the BWT string: [] = [[]]. Suffix arrays can also be used to look up substrings in example-based machine translation , demanding much less storage than a full phrase table as used in Statistical machine translation .

  8. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

  9. Running total - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_total

    Now we insert the number 6 at the end of the sequence to get (5, 8, 3, 2, 6). What is the total of that sequence? Answer: 5 + 8 + 3 + 2 + 6 = 24. This is arrived at by simple summation of the sequence. But if we regarded 18 as the running total, we need only add 6 to 18 to get 24. So, 18 was, and 24 now is, the running total.
