For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string.
C# has and allows pointers to selected types (some primitives, enums, strings, pointers, and even arrays and structs if they contain only types that can be pointed [14]) in unsafe context: methods and codeblock marked unsafe. These are syntactically the same as pointers in C and C++. However, runtime-checking is disabled inside unsafe blocks.
ToList: Creates a List<T> from the collection. ToDictionary: Creates a Dictionary<K, T> from the collection, indexed by the key K. A user supplied projection function extracts a key from each element. ToLookup: Creates a Lookup<K, T> from the collection, indexed by the key K. A user supplied projection function extracts a key from each element.
Strings are passed to functions by passing a pointer to the first code unit. Since char * and wchar_t * are different types, the functions that process wide strings are different than the ones processing normal strings and have different names. String literals ("text" in the C source code) are converted to arrays during compilation. [2]

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.
Alternatives, in situations where a function is required, are: Use the Function.prototype() built-in function, that accepts any arguments and returns undefined; [15] Use a NOP function available in a third-party library —see below; Define a custom NOP function, as in the following example (using the ES6 arrow function syntax):
sz is a null- or zero-terminated string. In C, this contains some semantic information because it is not clear whether a variable of type char* is a pointer to a single character, an array of characters or a zero-terminated string. w marks a variable that is a word. This contains essentially no semantic information at all, and would probably be ...
