  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    In the code above, two strings are declared, one of each different type (SYSTEM_STRING is the Eiffel compliant alias for System.String). Because System.String does not conform to STRING_8, then the assignment above is valid only if System.String converts to STRING_8.

  3. ASCII - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

    ASCII was incorporated into the Unicode (1991) character set as the first 128 symbols, so the 7-bit ASCII characters have the same numeric codes in both sets. This allows UTF-8 to be backward compatible with 7-bit ASCII, as a UTF-8 file containing only ASCII characters is identical to an ASCII file containing the same sequence of characters.

  4. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    contains(string,substring) returns boolean Description Returns whether string contains substring as a substring. This is equivalent to using Find and then detecting that it does not result in the failure condition listed in the third column of the Find section. However, some languages have a simpler way of expressing this test. Related

  5. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding

    Files that contain machine-executable code and non-textual data typically contain all 256 possible eight-bit byte values. Many computer programs came to rely on this distinction between seven-bit text and eight-bit binary data, and would not function properly if non-ASCII characters appeared in data that was expected to include only ASCII text ...

  6. Character encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding

    Punched tape with the word "Wikipedia" encoded in ASCII.Presence and absence of a hole represents 1 and 0, respectively; for example, W is encoded as 1010111.. Character encoding is the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using computers.

  7. Comparison of Unicode encodings - Wikipedia

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

    The tables below list the number of bytes per code point for different Unicode ranges. Any additional comments needed are included in the table. The figures assume that overheads at the start and end of the block of text are negligible. N.B. The tables below list numbers of bytes per code point, not per user visible "character" (or "grapheme ...

  8. Property list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_list

    The XML format supports non-ASCII characters and storing NSValue objects (which, unlike GNUstep's ASCII property list format, Apple's ASCII property list format does not support). [10] Since XML files, however, are not the most space-efficient means of storage, Mac OS X 10.2 introduced a new format where property list files are stored as binary ...

  9. Basic Latin (Unicode block) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Latin_(Unicode_block)

    The block contains all the letters and control codes of the ASCII encoding. It ranges from U+0000 to U+007F, contains 128 characters and includes the C0 controls , ASCII punctuation and symbols , ASCII digits , both the uppercase and lowercase of the English alphabet and a control character .
