  2. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    The creations of these functions can be automated by Haskell's data record syntax. This OCaml example which defines a red–black tree and a function to re-balance it after element insertion shows how to match on a more complex structure generated by a recursive data type. The compiler verifies at compile-time that the list of cases is ...

  3. Search and matching theory (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_and_matching_theory...

    A matching function is a mathematical relationship that describes the formation of new relationships (also called 'matches') from unmatched agents of the appropriate types. For example, in the context of job formation, matching functions are sometimes assumed to have the following 'Cobb–Douglas' form:

  4. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet Σ. Σ may be a human language alphabet, for example, the letters A through Z and other applications may use a binary alphabet (Σ = {0,1}) or a DNA alphabet (Σ = {A,C,G,T}) in bioinformatics .

  5. Two-way string-matching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-way_string-matching...

    In computer science, the two-way string-matching algorithm is a string-searching algorithm, discovered by Maxime Crochemore and Dominique Perrin in 1991. [1] It takes a pattern of size m, called a “needle”, preprocesses it in linear time O(m), producing information that can then be used to search for the needle in any “haystack” string, taking only linear time O(n) with n being the ...

  6. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    Different approximate matchers impose different constraints. Some matchers use a single global unweighted cost, that is, the total number of primitive operations necessary to convert the match to the pattern. For example, if the pattern is coil, foil differs by one substitution, coils by one insertion, oil by one deletion, and foal by two ...

  7. glob (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)

    A screenshot of the original 1971 Unix reference page for glob – the owner is dmr, short for Dennis Ritchie.. glob() (/ ɡ l ɒ b /) is a libc function for globbing, which is the archetypal use of pattern matching against the names in a filesystem directory such that a name pattern is expanded into a list of names matching that pattern.

  8. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    For example, . is a very general pattern, [a-z] (match all lower case letters from 'a' to 'z') is less general and b is a precise pattern (matches just 'b'). The metacharacter syntax is designed specifically to represent prescribed targets in a concise and flexible way to direct the automation of text processing of a variety of input data, in a ...

  9. Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    In computer science, the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm (or KMP algorithm) is a string-searching algorithm that searches for occurrences of a "word" W within a main "text string" S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to determine where the next match could begin, thus bypassing re-examination of previously matched characters.
