  3. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    The set ret can be saved efficiently by just storing the index i, which is the last character of the longest common substring (of size z) instead of S[(i-z+1)..i]. Thus all the longest common substrings would be, for each i in ret, S[(ret[i]-z)..(ret[i])]. The following tricks can be used to reduce the memory usage of an implementation:

  4. String metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_metric

    It operates between two input strings, returning a number equivalent to the number of substitutions and deletions needed in order to transform one input string into another. Simplistic string metrics such as Levenshtein distance have expanded to include phonetic, token, grammatical and character-based methods of statistical comparisons.

  5. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    Implementation is based on parity-preserving bit operations (XOR and ADD), multiply, or divide. A necessary adjunct to the hash function is a collision-resolution method that employs an auxiliary data structure like linked lists , or systematic probing of the table to find an empty slot.

  6. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    Both algorithms are based on dynamic programming but solve different problems. Sellers' algorithm searches approximately for a substring in a text while the algorithm of Wagner and Fischer calculates Levenshtein distance, being appropriate for dictionary fuzzy search only. Online searching techniques have been repeatedly improved.

  7. Substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring

    string" is a substring of "substring" In formal language theory and computer science, a substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. [citation needed] For instance, "the best of" is a substring of "It was the best of times". In contrast, "Itwastimes" is a subsequence of "It was the best of times", but not a substring.

  8. Longest palindromic substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_palindromic_substring

    For example, the longest palindromic substring of "bananas" is "anana". The longest palindromic substring is not guaranteed to be unique; for example, in the string "abracadabra", there is no palindromic substring with length greater than three, but there are two palindromic substrings with length three, namely, "aca" and "ada".

  9. Select (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Select_(SQL)

    SQL includes operators and functions for calculating values on stored values. SQL allows the use of expressions in the select list to project data, as in the following example, which returns a list of books that cost more than 100.00 with an additional sales_tax column containing a sales tax figure calculated at 6% of the price.
