  2. 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 ...

  3. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    The set ret is used to hold the set of strings which are of length z. The set ret can be saved efficiently by just storing the index i, which is the last character of the longest common substring (of size z) instead of S [i-z+1..i]. Thus all the longest common substrings would be, for each i in ret, S [ (ret [i]-z).. (ret [i])].

  5. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    String-searching algorithm. In computer science, string-searching algorithms, sometimes called string-matching algorithms, are an important class of string algorithms that try to find a place where one or several strings (also called patterns) are found within a larger string or text. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and ...

  6. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    A string is generally considered as a data type and is often implemented as an array data structure of bytes (or words) that stores a sequence of elements, typically characters, using some character encoding. String may also denote more general arrays or other sequence (or list) data types and structures.

  7. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    In mathematical terms, an associative array is a function with finite domain. [1] It supports 'lookup', 'remove', and 'insert' operations. The dictionary problem is the classic problem of designing efficient data structures that implement associative arrays. [2] The two major solutions to the dictionary problem are hash tables and search trees ...

    Θ (k+m) [note 2] In computer science, the Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm is an efficient string-searching algorithm that is the standard benchmark for practical string-search literature. [1] It was developed by Robert S. Boyer and J Strother Moore in 1977. [2] The original paper contained static tables for computing the pattern shifts ...
