  2. Escape sequences in C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_sequences_in_C

    The \n escape sequence allows for shorter code by specifying the newline in the string literal, and for faster runtime by eliminating the text formatting operation. Also, the compiler can map the escape sequence to a character encoding system other than ASCII and thus make the code more portable.

  3. Word problem (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics)

    The word problem for an algebra is then to determine, given two expressions (words) involving the generators and operations, whether they represent the same element of the algebra modulo the identities. The word problems for groups and semigroups can be phrased as word problems for algebras. [1]

    The problem of bounding the size of an automaton that distinguishes two given strings was first formulated by GoralĨík & Koubek (1986), who showed that the automaton size is always sublinear. [2] Later, Robson (1989) proved the upper bound O ( n 2/5 (log n ) 3/5 ) on the automaton size that may be required. [ 3 ]

  5. 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.

  6. Control character - Wikipedia

    For example, the key labelled "Backspace" typically produces code 8, "Tab" code 9, "Enter" or "Return" code 13 (though some keyboards might produce code 10 for "Enter"). Many keyboards include keys that do not correspond to any ASCII printable or control character, for example cursor control arrows and word processing functions. The associated ...

  7. Word problem for groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_for_groups

    The word problem was one of the first examples of an unsolvable problem to be found not in mathematical logic or the theory of algorithms, but in one of the central branches of classical mathematics, algebra. As a result of its unsolvability, several other problems in combinatorial group theory have been shown to be unsolvable as well.

    Word problem (mathematics education), a type of textbook exercise or exam question to have students apply abstract mathematical concepts to real-world situations; Word problem (mathematics), a decision problem for algebraic identities in mathematics and computer science; Word problem for groups, the problem of recognizing the identity element ...

  9. Delete character - Wikipedia

    The terminal driver still cannot be programmed to take both this and Backspace: one must be chosen. However, most modern programs bypass this and use libraries such as readline which accepts both codes. Most Unix terminal emulators can be configured to send either Delete or Backspace when the backspace key is pressed. [citation needed]
