  2. Null object pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_object_pattern

    In object-oriented computer programming, a null object is an object with no referenced value or with defined neutral (null) behavior.The null object design pattern, which describes the uses of such objects and their behavior (or lack thereof), was first published as "Void Value" [1] and later in the Pattern Languages of Program Design book series as "Null Object".

  3. Field encapsulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_encapsulation

    In computer programming, field encapsulation involves providing methods that can be used to read from or write to the field rather than accessing the field directly. . Sometimes these accessor methods are called getX and setX (where X is the field's name), which are also known as mutato

  4. Empty string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_string

    The empty string has several properties: |ε| = 0. Its string length is zero. ε ⋅ s = s ⋅ ε = s. The empty string is the identity element of the concatenation operation. The set of all strings forms a free monoid with respect to ⋅ and ε. ε R = ε. Reversal of the empty string produces the empty string, so the empty string is a palindrome.

  5. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    This allows the string to contain NUL and made finding the length need only one memory access (O(1) (constant) time), but limited string length to 255 characters. C designer Dennis Ritchie chose to follow the convention of null-termination to avoid the limitation on the length of a string and because maintaining the count seemed, in his ...

  6. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    (empty set) ∅ denoting the set ∅. (empty string) ε denoting the set containing only the "empty" string, which has no characters at all. (literal character) a in Σ denoting the set containing only the character a. Given regular expressions R and S, the following operations over them are defined to produce regular expressions:

  7. Help:Conditional expressions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Conditional_expressions

    But {{{1|}}} will evaluate to the empty string (a false value) because the vertical bar or pipe character, "|", immediately following the parameter name specifies a default value (here an empty string because there is nothing between the pipe and the first closing curly brace) as a "fallback" value to be used if the parameter is undefined.

  8. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.

  9. String interning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning

    The distinct values are stored in a string intern pool. The single copy of each string is called its intern and is typically looked up by a method of the string class, for example String.intern() [2] in Java. All compile-time constant strings in Java are automatically interned using this method. [3]
