  2. Run-length encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding

    Run-length encoding (RLE) is a form of lossless data compression in which runs of data (consecutive occurrences of the same data value) are stored as a single occurrence of that data value and a count of its consecutive occurrences, rather than as the original run. As an imaginary example of the concept, when encoding an image built up from ...

    AutoHotkey: As the first character of continued line; any expression operators except ++ and --, and a comma or a period [7] Some form of line comment serves as line continuation. Turbo Assembler: \ m4: dnl; TeX: % Character position. Fortran 77: A non-comment line is a continuation of the prior non-comment line if any non-space character ...

  4. UTF-16 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16

    The Joliet file system, used in CD-ROM media, encodes file names using UCS-2BE (up to sixty-four Unicode characters per file name). Python version 2.0 officially only used UCS-2 internally, but the UTF-8 decoder to "Unicode" produced correct UTF-16. There was also the ability to compile Python so that it used UTF-32 internally, this was ...

    Microsoft compressed file in Quantum format, used prior to Windows XP. File can be decompressed using Extract.exe or Expand.exe distributed with earlier versions of Windows. After compression, the last character of the original filename extension is replaced with an underscore, e.g. ‘Setup.exe’ becomes ‘Setup.ex_’. 46 4C 49 46: FLIF: 0 flif

  6. Characters per line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_per_line

    Standard paper sizes, such as the international standard A4, also impose limitations on line length: using the US standard Letter paper size (8.5×11"), it is only possible to print a maximum of 85 or 102 characters (with the font size either 10 or 12 characters per inch) without margins on the typewriter. With various margins – usually from ...

  7. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify strings intensively, such as joining character arrays ...

  8. Comparison of Unicode encodings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Unicode...

    Fixed-size characters can be helpful, but even if there is a fixed byte count per code point (as in UTF-32), there is not a fixed byte count per displayed character due to combining characters. Considering these incompatibilities and other quirks among different encoding schemes, handling unicode data with the same (or compatible) protocol ...

  9. Filename - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename

    File name, 1–56 characters (letters and digits) separated by periods. File names cannot start or end with a period, nor can two consecutive periods appear. In 1985, RFC 959 officially defined a pathname to be the character string that must be entered into a file system by a user in order to identify a file. [4]
