  2. 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]

  3. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    In Haskell (unlike at least Hope), patterns are tried in order so the first definition still applies in the very specific case of the input being 0, while for any other argument the function returns n * f (n-1) with n being the argument. The wildcard pattern (often written as _) is also simple: like a variable name, it matches any value, but ...

  4. Krauss wildcard-matching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krauss_wildcard-matching...

    In computer science, the Krauss wildcard-matching algorithm is a pattern matching algorithm. Based on the wildcard syntax in common use, e.g. in the Microsoft Windows command-line interface, the algorithm provides a non-recursive mechanism for matching patterns in software applications, based on syntax simpler than that typically offered by regular expressions.

  5. wildmat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildmat

    wildmat is a pattern matching library developed by Rich Salz.Based on the wildcard syntax already used in the Bourne shell, wildmat provides a uniform mechanism for matching patterns across applications with simpler syntax than that typically offered by regular expressions.

  6. Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_string-search...

    Suppose that at an alignment k 1, P is compared with T down to character c of T. Then if P is shifted to k 2 such that its left end is between c and k 1, in the next comparison phase a prefix of P must match the substring T[(k 2 - n)..k 1]. Thus if the comparisons get down to position k 1 of T, an occurrence of P can be recorded without ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    The boolean values True and False were added to the language in Python 2.2.1 as constants (subclassed from 1 and 0) and were changed to be full blown keywords in Python 3. The binary comparison operators such as == and > return either True or False.

    [6] [7] Bing supports NEAR. [8] The syntax is keyword1 near:n keyword2 where n=the number of maximum separating words. Ordered search within the Google and Yahoo! search engines is possible using the asterisk (*) full-word wildcards: in Google this matches one or more words, [9] and an in Yahoo! Search this matches exactly one word. [10] (This ...
