  2. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    The longest common substrings of a set of strings can be found by building a generalized suffix tree for the strings, and then finding the deepest internal nodes which have leaf nodes from all the strings in the subtree below it. The figure on the right is the suffix tree for the strings "ABAB", "BABA" and "ABBA", padded with unique string ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring

    A string is a substring (or factor) [1] of a string if there exists two strings and such that =.In particular, the empty string is a substring of every string. Example: The string = ana is equal to substrings (and subsequences) of = banana at two different offsets:

  5. Parsing expression grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar

    A parsing expression is a kind of pattern that each string may either match or not match.In case of a match, there is a unique prefix of the string (which may be the whole string, the empty string, or something in between) which has been consumed by the parsing expression; this prefix is what one would usually think of as having matched the expression.

  6. Prefix sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum

    Prefix sums are trivial to compute in sequential models of computation, by using the formula y i = y i − 1 + x i to compute each output value in sequence order. However, despite their ease of computation, prefix sums are a useful primitive in certain algorithms such as counting sort, [1] [2] and they form the basis of the scan higher-order function in functional programming languages.

  7. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    The set of all strings over Σ of length n is denoted Σ n. For example, if Σ = {0, 1}, then Σ 2 = {00, 01, 10, 11}. We have Σ 0 = {ε} for every alphabet Σ. The set of all strings over Σ of any length is the Kleene closure of Σ and is denoted Σ *. In terms of Σ n,

  8. String operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_operations

    Simple single-letter substitution ciphers are examples of (ε-free) string homomorphisms. An example string homomorphism g uc can also be obtained by defining similar to the above substitution: g uc (‹a›) = ‹A›, ..., g uc (‹0›) = ε, but letting g uc be undefined on punctuation chars. Examples for inverse homomorphic images are

  9. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string. See for example Concatenation below.
