  2. String interning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning

    Historically, the data structure used as a string intern pool was called an oblist (when it was implemented as a linked list) or an obarray (when it was implemented as an array). Modern Lisp dialects typically distinguish symbols from strings; interning a given string returns an existing symbol or creates a new one, whose name is that string.

  3. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both). Most programming languages that have a string datatype will have some string functions although there may be other low-level ways within each language to handle strings directly.

  4. Relational operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_operator

    Equality is used in many programming language constructs and data types. It is used to test if an element already exists in a set, or to access to a value through a key. It is used in switch statements to dispatch the control flow to the correct branch, and during the unification process in logic programming.

  5. Zero-based numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

    However, a language wishing to index arrays from 1 could adopt the convention that every array address is represented by a′ = a – s; that is, rather than using the address of the first array element, such a language would use the address of a fictitious element located immediately before the first actual element. The indexing expression for ...

  6. IIf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIf

    The syntax of the IIf function is as follows: . IIf(expr, truepart, falsepart) . All three parameters are required: e expr is the expression that is to be evaluated.; truepart defines what the IIf function returns if the evaluation of expr returns true.

  7. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Many Unix utilities perform simple string manipulations and can be used to easily program some powerful string processing algorithms. Files and finite streams may be viewed as strings. Some APIs like Multimedia Control Interface, embedded SQL or printf use strings to hold commands that will be interpreted.

  8. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    In computer science, a lookup table (LUT) is an array that replaces runtime computation with a simpler array indexing operation, in a process termed as direct addressing.The savings in processing time can be significant, because retrieving a value from memory is often faster than carrying out an "expensive" computation or input/output operation.

  9. Select (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Select_(SQL)

    A query includes a list of columns to include in the final result, normally immediately following the SELECT keyword. An asterisk ("*") can be used to specify that the query should return all columns of all the queried tables. SELECT is the most complex statement in SQL, with optional keywords and clauses that include:
