  2. 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])].

  3. Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_string-search...

    The Boyer–Moore algorithm uses information gathered during the preprocess step to skip sections of the text, resulting in a lower constant factor than many other string search algorithms. In general, the algorithm runs faster as the pattern length increases. The key features of the algorithm are to match on the tail of the pattern rather than ...

  4. Longest common subsequence - Wikipedia

    The longest common subsequence between and is “ MJAU ”. The table C shown below, which is generated by the function LCSLength, shows the lengths of the longest common subsequences between prefixes of and . The th row and th column shows the length of the LCS between and . 0.

  5. Rope (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)

    Rope (data structure) A simple rope built on the string of "Hello_my_name_is_Simon". In computer programming, a rope, or cord, is a data structure composed of smaller strings that is used to efficiently store and manipulate longer strings or entire texts. For example, a text editing program may use a rope to represent the text being edited, so ...

  6. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    It is at least the absolute value of the difference of the sizes of the two strings. It is at most the length of the longer string. It is zero if and only if the strings are equal. If the strings have the same size, the Hamming distance is an upper bound on the Levenshtein distance. The Hamming distance is the number of positions at which the ...

  7. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    e. 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.

  8. Edit distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance

    Edit distance. In computational linguistics and computer science, edit distance is a string metric, i.e. a way of quantifying how dissimilar two strings (e.g., words) are to one another, that is measured by counting the minimum number of operations required to transform one string into the other. Edit distances find applications in natural ...

  9. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    String (computer science) Strings are typically made up of characters, and are often used to store human-readable data, such as words or sentences. In computer programming, a string is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable. The latter may allow its elements to be mutated and the length ...
