  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    will match elements such as A[1], A[2], or more generally A[x] where x is any entity. In this case, A is the concrete element, while _ denotes the piece of tree that can be varied. A symbol prepended to _ binds the match to that variable name while a symbol appended to _ restricts the matches to nodes of that

  4. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    Languages derived from C language, and more generally those influenced by Fortran's computed GOTO, instead feature fallthrough, where control moves to the matching case, and then execution continues ("falls through") to the statements associated with the next case in the source text. This also allows multiple values to match the same point ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem

    The matching with contracts problem is a generalization of matching problem, in which participants can be matched with different terms of contracts. [17] An important special case of contracts is matching with flexible wages.

  6. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Blue highlights show the match results of the regular expression pattern: /r[aeiou]+/ g (lower case r followed by one or more lower-case vowels). A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp ), [ 1 ] sometimes referred to as rational expression , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text .

  7. Matching wildcards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_wildcards

    In computer science, an algorithm for matching wildcards (also known as globbing) is useful in comparing text strings that may contain wildcard syntax. [1] Common uses of these algorithms include command-line interfaces, e.g. the Bourne shell [2] or Microsoft Windows command-line [3] or text editor or file manager, as well as the interfaces for some search engines [4] and databases. [5]

  8. Gestalt pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_Pattern_Matching

    Gestalt pattern matching, [1] also Ratcliff/Obershelp pattern recognition, [2] is a string-matching algorithm for determining the similarity of two strings. It was developed in 1983 by John W. Ratcliff and John A. Obershelp and published in the Dr. Dobb's Journal in July 1988.

  9. Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    This uses information gleaned during the pre-processing of the pattern in conjunction with suffix match lengths recorded at each match attempt. Storing suffix match lengths requires an additional table equal in size to the text being searched. The Raita algorithm improves the performance of Boyer–Moore–Horspool algorithm. The searching ...
