  2. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)

    Fixed-length strings of length n can be viewed as the integer locations in an n-dimensional hypercube with sides of length k-1. Variable-length strings (of finite length) can be viewed as nodes on a perfect k-ary tree. Infinite strings (otherwise not considered here) can be viewed as infinite paths on a k-node complete graph.

  3. UTF-32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-32

    UTF-32 (32-bit Unicode Transformation Format), sometimes called UCS-4, is a fixed-length encoding used to encode Unicode code points that uses exactly 32 bits (four bytes) per code point (but a number of leading bits must be zero as there are far fewer than 2 32 Unicode code points, needing actually only 21 bits). [1]

  4. Tunstall coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunstall_coding

    Unlike variable-length codes, which include Huffman and Lempel–Ziv coding, Tunstall coding is a code which maps source symbols to a fixed number of bits. [2]Both Tunstall codes and Lempel–Ziv codes represent variable-length words by fixed-length codes.

  5. Prefix code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_code

    If every word in the code has the same length, the code is called a fixed-length code, or a block code (though the term block code is also used for fixed-size error-correcting codes in channel coding). For example, ISO 8859-15 letters are always 8 bits long. UTF-32/UCS-4 letters are always 32 bits long. ATM cells are always 424 bits (53 bytes ...

  6. Comparison of data-serialization formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data...

    BER: variable-length big-endian binary representation (up to 2 2 1024 bits); PER Unaligned: a fixed number of bits if the integer type has a finite range; a variable number of bits otherwise; PER Aligned: a fixed number of bits if the integer type has a finite range and the size of the range is less than 65536; a variable number of octets ...

  7. Hamming distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance

    For a fixed length n, the Hamming distance is a metric on the set of the words of length n (also known as a Hamming space), as it fulfills the conditions of non-negativity, symmetry, the Hamming distance of two words is 0 if and only if the two words are identical, and it satisfies the triangle inequality as well: [2] Indeed, if we fix three words a, b and c, then whenever there is a ...

  8. Variable-length code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_code

    A code is uniquely decodable if its extension is § non-singular.Whether a given code is uniquely decodable can be decided with the Sardinas–Patterson algorithm.. The mapping = {,,} is uniquely decodable (this can be demonstrated by looking at the follow-set after each target bit string in the map, because each bitstring is terminated as soon as we see a 0 bit which cannot follow any ...

  9. Trie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie

    Each character in the string key set is represented via individual bits, which are used to traverse the trie over a string key. The implementations for these types of trie use vectorized CPU instructions to find the first set bit in a fixed-length key input (e.g. GCC's __builtin_clz() intrinsic function). Accordingly, the set bit is used to ...
