  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    Existing Eiffel software uses the string classes (such as STRING_8) from the Eiffel libraries, but Eiffel software written for .NET must use the .NET string class (System.String) in many cases, for example when calling .NET methods which expect items of the .NET type to be passed as arguments. So, the conversion of these types back and forth ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Icon (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    This is based on two internal variables, &subject and &pos; &subject is simply a pointer to the original string, while &pos is the current position within it, or cursor. Icon's various string manipulation procedures use these two variables so they do not have to be explicitly supplied by the programmer. For example:

  5. Data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type

    The standard type hierarchy of Python 3. In computer science and computer programming, a data type (or simply type) is a collection or grouping of data values, usually specified by a set of possible values, a set of allowed operations on these values, and/or a representation of these values as machine types. [1]

  6. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)

    Strings admit the following interpretation as nodes on a graph, where k is the number of symbols in Σ: Fixed-length strings of length n can be viewed as the integer locations in an n-dimensional hypercube with sides of length k-1. Variable-length strings (of finite length) can be viewed as nodes on a perfect k-ary tree.

  7. Implicit data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_data_structure

    A trivial example of an implicit data structure is an array data structure, which is an implicit data structure for a list, and requires only the constant overhead of the length; unlike a linked list, which has a pointer associated with each data element, which explicitly gives the relationship from one element to the next.

  8. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Dates_and_numbers

    The time 00:00 refers to midnight at the start of a date, 12:00 to noon, and 24:00 to midnight at the end of a date, but 24 should not be used for the first hour of the next day (e.g. use 00:10 for ten minutes after midnight, not 24:10).

  9. Magic number (programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Thus, declaring const string testUserName = "John" is better than several occurrences of the 'magic value' "John" in a test suite. For example, if it is required to randomly shuffle the values in an array representing a standard pack of playing cards, this pseudocode does the job using the Fisher–Yates shuffle algorithm:
