The indices are one-based (meaning the first is number one), inclusive (meaning the indices you specify are included), and may be negative to count from the other end. For example, {{#invoke:string|sub|12345678|2|-3}} → 23456. Not all the legacy substring templates use this numbering scheme, so check the documentation of unfamiliar templates.
A string-matching algorithm wants to find the starting index m in string S[] that matches the search word W[]. The most straightforward algorithm, known as the "brute-force" or "naive" algorithm, is to look for a word match at each index m, i.e. the position in the string being searched that corresponds to the character S[m].
The closeness of a match is measured in terms of the number of primitive operations necessary to convert the string into an exact match. This number is called the edit distance between the string and the pattern. The usual primitive operations are: [1] insertion: cot → coat; deletion: coat → cot
A simple and inefficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check at each index, one by one. First, we see if there is a copy of the needle starting at the first character of the haystack; if not, we look to see if there's a copy of the needle starting at the second character of the haystack, and so forth.
The minimum period of x is denoted as p(x). A repetition w in (u,v) is a non-empty string such that: w is a suffix of u or u is a suffix of w; w is a prefix of v or v is a prefix of w; In other words, w occurs on both sides of the cut with a possible overflow on either side. Examples include "an" for ("ban","ana") and "voca" for ("a","vocado ...

An optimal number of hash functions k = (m / n) ln 2 has been assumed. Assume that a hash function selects each array position with equal probability. If m is the number of bits in the array, the probability that a certain bit is not set to 1 by a certain hash function during the insertion of an element is .
In computer science, an algorithm for matching wildcards (also known as globbing) is useful in comparing text strings that may contain wildcard syntax. [1] Common uses of these algorithms include command-line interfaces, e.g. the Bourne shell [2] or Microsoft Windows command-line [3] or text editor or file manager, as well as the interfaces for some search engines [4] and databases.
