  2. Trimming (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimming_(computer...

    Many trim functions have an optional parameter to specify a list of characters to trim, instead of the default whitespace characters. For example, PHP and Python allow this optional parameter, while Pascal and Java do not. With Common Lisp's string-trim function, the parameter (called character-bag) is required.

    Python std.string.format(formatstring, items) D: C: ... An empty string returns a length of 0. ... trim or strip is used to remove whitespace from the beginning, ...

  4. Zero-width space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space

    The zero-width space can be used to mark word breaks in languages without visible space between words, such as Thai, Myanmar, Khmer, and Japanese. [ 1 ] In justified text, the rendering engine may add inter-character spacing, also known as letter spacing, between letters separated by a zero-width space, unlike around fixed-width spaces.

  5. Help:Whitespace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Whitespace

    Sometimes, when you have undesirable whitespace, the best way to solve the problem is to expand the article (with suitable content). Sometimes, a minor fix will help eliminate or reduce whitespace. This may involve adding or removing one blank line from some part of the page, re-ordering templates, or the use of a gallery for multiple images ...

  6. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

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

    The user can search for elements in an associative array, and delete elements from the array. The following shows how multi-dimensional associative arrays can be simulated in standard AWK using concatenation and the built-in string-separator variable SUBSEP:

  7. 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 ...

  8. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    The empty list would not match the pattern at all, as an empty list does not have a head (the first element that is constructed). In the example, we have no use for list , so we can disregard it, and thus write the function:

  9. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    By contrast, in open addressing, if a hash collision is found, the table seeks an empty spot in an array to store the value in a deterministic manner, usually by looking at the next immediate position in the array. Open addressing has a lower cache miss ratio than separate chaining when the table is mostly empty. However, as the table becomes ...
