  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    For example, one could define a dictionary having a string "toast" mapped to the integer 42 or vice versa. The keys in a dictionary must be of an immutable Python type, such as an integer or a string, because under the hood they are implemented via a hash function. This makes for much faster lookup times, but requires keys not change.

  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. In object-oriented languages ...

  4. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    As the syntax supports alternative patterns in function definitions, we can continue the definition extending it to take more generic arguments: f n = n * f ( n - 1 ) Here, the first n is a single variable pattern, which will match absolutely any argument and bind it to name n to be used in the rest of the definition.

  5. Off-side rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-side_rule

    As in curly bracket languages, whitespace is mostly ignored by the reader (i.e., the read function). Whitespace is used to separate tokens. [5] The explicit structure of Lisp code allows automatic indenting, to form a visual cue for human readers. Another alternative is for each block to begin and end with explicit keywords.

  6. Generator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In Python, a generator can be thought of as an iterator that contains a frozen stack frame. Whenever next() is called on the iterator, Python resumes the frozen frame, which executes normally until the next yield statement is reached. The generator's frame is then frozen again, and the yielded value is returned to the caller.

    Definition: Split (i, S): split the string S into two new strings S 1 and S 2, S 1 = C 1, ..., C i and S 2 = C i + 1, ..., C m. Time complexity: ⁠ (⁡) ⁠ There are two cases that must be dealt with: The split point is at the end of a string (i.e. after the last character of a leaf node) The split point is in the middle of a string.

  9. String literal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_literal

    A string literal or anonymous string is a literal for a string value in the source code of a computer program. Modern programming languages commonly use a quoted sequence of characters, formally "bracketed delimiters", as in x = "foo", where , "foo" is a string literal with value foo. Methods such as escape sequences can be used to avoid the ...
