  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports a wide variety of string operations. Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify ...

  3. rdiff-backup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rdiff-backup

    rdiff-backup is a backup software written in Python that creates reverse incremental backups.The most recent backup is thus directly accessible, while earlier backups will be reconstructed from diff files by rdiff-backup.

  4. Primitive data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_data_type

    Integer addition, for example, can be performed as a single machine instruction, and some offer specific instructions to process sequences of characters with a single instruction. [7] But the choice of primitive data type may affect performance, for example it is faster using SIMD operations and data types to operate on an array of floats.

  5. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    If n is greater than the length of the string then most implementations return the whole string (exceptions exist – see code examples). Note that for variable-length encodings such as UTF-8 , UTF-16 or Shift-JIS , it can be necessary to remove string positions at the end, in order to avoid invalid strings.

  6. Data Format Description Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Format_Description...

    Data Format Description Language (DFDL, often pronounced daff-o-dil) is a modeling language for describing general text and binary data in a standard way. It was published as an Open Grid Forum Recommendation [1] in February 2021, and in April 2024 was published as an ISO standard.

  7. Callback (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_(computer...

    The following REBOL/Red code demonstrates callback use. As alert requires a string, form produces a string from the result of calculate; The get-word! values (i.e., :calc-product and :calc-sum) trigger the interpreter to return the code of the function rather than evaluate with the function. The datatype! references in a block!

  8. Timestamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timestamp

    Common examples of this type of timestamp are a postmark on a letter or the "in" and "out" times on a time card. With the advent of digital data systems, the term has expanded to refer to digital date and time information attached to digital data.

  9. Extension method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_method

    As an example, consider a need of extending the string class with a new reverse method whose return value is a string with the characters in reversed order. Because the string class is a sealed type, the method would typically be added to a new utility class in a manner similar to the following:
