  2. Null character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_character

    The ability to represent a null character does not always mean the resulting string will be correctly interpreted, as many programs will consider the null to be the end of the string. Thus the ability to type it (in case of unchecked user input) creates a vulnerability known as null byte injection and can lead to security exploits. [10]

  3. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    Null-termination has historically created security problems. [6] A NUL inserted into the middle of a string will truncate it unexpectedly. [7] A common bug was to not allocate the additional space for the NUL, so it was written over adjacent memory.

  4. Empty string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_string

    Even a string of length zero can require memory to store it, depending on the format being used. In most programming languages, the empty string is distinct from a null reference (or null pointer) because a null reference points to no string at all, not even the empty string. The empty string is a legitimate string, upon which most string ...

  5. Null object pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_object_pattern

    By returning a null object (i.e., an empty list) instead, there is no need to verify that the return value is in fact a list. The calling function may simply iterate the list as normal, effectively doing nothing. It is, however, still possible to check whether the return value is a null object (an empty list) and react differently if desired.

  6. C string handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_string_handling

    This means a string cannot contain the zero code unit, as the first one seen marks the end of the string. The length of a string is the number of code units before the zero code unit. [1] The memory occupied by a string is always one more code unit than the length, as space is needed to store the zero terminator.

  7. Empty set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_set

    The empty set can be turned into a topological space, called the empty space, in just one way: by defining the empty set to be open. This empty topological space is the unique initial object in the category of topological spaces with continuous maps. In fact, it is a strict initial object: only the empty set has a function to the empty set.

  9. C++ string handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++_string_handling

    The std::string class is the standard representation for a text string since C++98. The class provides some typical string operations like comparison, concatenation, find and replace, and a function for obtaining substrings. An std::string can be constructed from a C-style string, and a C-style string can also be obtained from one. [7]
