  2. Null coalescing operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_coalescing_operator

    The null coalescing operator is a binary operator that is part of the syntax for a basic conditional expression in several programming languages, such as (in alphabetical order): C# [1] since version 2.0, [2] Dart [3] since version 1.12.0, [4] PHP since version 7.0.0, [5] Perl since version 5.10 as logical defined-or, [6] PowerShell since 7.0.0, [7] and Swift [8] as nil-coalescing operator.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Longest palindromic substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_palindromic_substring

    In this case, Radius is initialized to the radius of the palindrome at MirroredCenter and the search starts from there. An example string would be "abcbpbcbp" where the "Old" palindrome is "bcbpbcb" and the Center is on the second "c". The MirroredCenter is the first "c" and it has a longest palindrome of "bcb".

  5. Substitute character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitute_character

    Historically, under PDP-6 monitor, [2] RT-11, VMS, and TOPS-10, [3] and in early PC CP/M 1 and 2 operating systems (and derivatives like MP/M) it was necessary to explicitly mark the end of a file (EOF) because the native filesystem could not record the exact file size by itself; files were allocated in extents (records) of a fixed size, typically leaving some allocated but unused space at the ...

  6. Magic string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_string

    The following is a list of some known incidents where use of a magic string has caused problems. In several different cases, motorists with personalized strings on their vehicle registration plates have received incorrect traffic tickets. In affected ticketing systems, when police officers would fill out a traffic ticket for a car with no ...

  7. Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_string-search...

    P denotes the string to be searched for, called the pattern. Its length is m. S[i] denotes the character at index i of string S, counting from 1. S[i..j] denotes the substring of string S starting at index i and ending at j, inclusive. A prefix of S is a substring S[1..i] for some i in range [1, l], where l is the length of S.

  8. Reference counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting

    The reference count of a string is checked before mutating a string. This allows reference count 1 strings to be mutated directly whilst higher reference count strings are copied before mutation. This allows the general behaviour of old style pascal strings to be preserved whilst eliminating the cost of copying the string on every assignment.

  9. Stack (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(abstract_data_type)

    Considered a sequential collection, a stack has one end which is the only position at which the push and pop operations may occur, the top of the stack, and is fixed at the other end, the bottom. A stack may be implemented as, for example, a singly linked list with a pointer to the top element. A stack may be implemented to have a bounded capacity.
