    Element in X[row 2; col 2] is changed (from 7) to a nested vector "Text" using the enclose ⊂ function. Element in X[row 3; col 4], formerly integer 14, now becomes a mini enclosed or ⊂ nested 2x2 matrix of 4 consecutive integers. Since X contains numbers, text and nested elements, it is both a mixed and a nested array.

  3. Edit distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance

    In computational linguistics and computer science, edit distance is a string metric, i.e. a way of quantifying how dissimilar two strings (e.g., words) are to one another, that is measured by counting the minimum number of operations required to transform one string into the other.

  4. Relational operator - Wikipedia

    two objects being equal but distinct, e.g., two $10 banknotes; two objects being equal but having different representation, e.g., a $1 bill and a $1 coin; two different references to the same object, e.g., two nicknames for the same person; In many modern programming languages, objects and data structures are accessed through references. In ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis

    Simple examples include semicolon insertion in Go, which requires looking back one token; concatenation of consecutive string literals in Python, [7] which requires holding one token in a buffer before emitting it (to see if the next token is another string literal); and the off-side rule in Python, which requires maintaining a count of indent ...

  6. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python's name is derived from the British comedy group Monty Python, whom Python creator Guido van Rossum enjoyed while developing the language. Monty Python references appear frequently in Python code and culture; [190] for example, the metasyntactic variables often used in Python literature are spam and eggs instead of the traditional foo and ...

  7. Q (programming language from Kx Systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(programming_language...

    The expression ".z.s" is loosely equivalent to 'this' in Java or 'self' in Python - it is a reference to the containing object, and enables functions in q to call themselves. When x is an integer greater than 2, the following function will return 1 if it is a prime, otherwise 0:

  8. Zen of Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python

    The Zen of Python is a collection of 19 "guiding principles" for writing computer programs that influence the design of the Python programming language. [1] Python code that aligns with these principles is often referred to as "Pythonic". [2] Software engineer Tim Peters wrote this set of principles and posted it on the Python mailing list in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comment_(computer_programming)

    A block comment is delimited with text that marks the start and end of comment text. It can span multiple lines or occupy any part of a line. Some languages allow block comments to be recursively nested inside one another, but others do not. [5] [6] [7] A line comment ends at the end of the text line.
