  2. Gap buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gap_buffer

    Below are some examples of operations with buffer gaps. The gap is represented by the empty space between the square brackets. This representation is a bit misleading: in a typical implementation, the endpoints of the gap are tracked using pointers or array indices, and the contents of the gap are ignored; this allows, for example, deletions to be done by adjusting a pointer without changing ...

  3. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    In computer programming, a null-terminated string is a character string stored as an array containing the characters and terminated with a null character (a character with an internal value of zero, called "NUL" in this article, not same as the glyph zero).

  4. Stride of an array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stride_of_an_array

    In computer programming, the stride of an array (also referred to as increment, pitch or step size) is the number of locations in memory between beginnings of successive array elements, measured in bytes or in units of the size of the array's elements. The stride cannot be smaller than the element size but can be larger, indicating extra space ...

  5. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, an array is a data structure consisting of a collection of elements (values or variables), of same memory size, each identified by at least one array index or key. An array is stored such that the position of each element can be computed from its index tuple by a mathematical formula.

  6. Empty string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_string

    The empty string is a syntactically valid representation of zero in positional notation (in any base), which does not contain leading zeros.Since the empty string does not have a standard visual representation outside of formal language theory, the number zero is traditionally represented by a single decimal digit 0 instead.

  7. Suffix array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_array

    In computer science, a suffix array is a sorted array of all suffixes of a string. It is a data structure used in, among others, full-text indices, data-compression algorithms, and the field of bibliometrics. Suffix arrays were introduced by Manber & Myers (1990) as a simple, space efficient alternative to suffix trees.

  8. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

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

    The arrays are heterogeneous: a single array can have keys of different types. PHP's associative arrays can be used to represent trees, lists, stacks, queues, and other common data structures not built into PHP. An associative array can be declared using the following syntax:

  9. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    In computer science, an associative array, map, symbol table, or dictionary is an abstract data type that stores a collection of (key, value) pairs, such that each possible key appears at most once in the collection. In mathematical terms, an associative array is a function with finite domain. [1] It supports 'lookup', 'remove', and 'insert ...
