  2. Comparison of programming languages (syntax) - Wikipedia

    If the first character of a line, including indentation, is an asterisk (*) the whole line is considered as a comment, while a single double quote (") begins an in-line comment which acts until the end of the line. ABAP comments are not possible between the statements EXEC SQL and ENDEXEC because Native SQL has other usages for these characters.

  3. Covariance and contravariance (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contra...

    Arrays. Read-only data types (sources) can be covariant; write-only data types (sinks) can be contravariant. Mutable data types which act as both sources and sinks should be invariant. To illustrate this general phenomenon, consider the array type. For the type Animal we can make the type Animal[], which is an "array of animals".

  4. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    Appearance. A fuzzy Mediawiki search for "angry emoticon" has as a suggested result "andré emotions". In computer science, approximate string matching (often colloquially referred to as fuzzy string searching) is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly). The problem of approximate string ...

  5. String interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interpolation

    In computer programming, string interpolation (or variable interpolation, variable substitution, or variable expansion) is the process of evaluating a string literal containing one or more placeholders, yielding a result in which the placeholders are replaced with their corresponding values. It is a form of simple template processing [ 1 ] or ...

  6. PHP syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_syntax_and_semantics

    PHP generally follows C syntax, with exceptions and enhancements for its main use in web development, which makes heavy use of string manipulation. PHP variables must be prefixed by " $ ". This allows PHP to perform string interpolation in double quoted strings, where backslash is supported as an escape character.

  7. Three-way comparison - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-way_comparison

    In computer science, a three-way comparison takes two values A and B belonging to a type with a total order and determines whether A < B, A = B, or A > B in a single operation, in accordance with the mathematical law of trichotomy.

  8. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    The Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other. It is named after Soviet mathematician Vladimir Levenshtein, who defined the metric in 1965. [ 1 ] Levenshtein distance may also be referred to as edit distance, although ...

  9. Comparison of programming languages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    Comparison of Java and .NET platforms. Comparison of Object Pascal and C. v. t. e. Programming languages are used for controlling the behavior of a machine (often a computer). Like natural languages, programming languages follow rules for syntax and semantics. There are thousands of programming languages [ 1 ] and new ones are created every year.
