  2. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation. Regular expression techniques are developed in theoretical computer science and formal language theory.

  3. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both).. Most programming languages that have a string datatype will have some string functions although there may be other low-level ways within each language to handle strings directly.

  4. Find and replace - Wikipedia

    Find and replace may refer to: a feature of text processing as found: in text editors; in formal language theory; in particular programming languages;

  5. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    We know that this is the first element because of the way lists are defined, a single element constructed onto a list. This single element must be the first. 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).

  6. Leaning toothpick syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaning_toothpick_syndrome

    In computer programming, leaning toothpick syndrome (LTS) is the situation in which a quoted expression becomes unreadable because it contains a large number of escape characters, usually backslashes ("\"), to avoid delimiter collision.

  7. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. [33] Python is dynamically type-checked and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional ...

    Then, each subsequent item of the collection may replace the largest or smallest element in the heap if it is smaller or larger than this element. The algorithm's memory usage is superior to heapselect (the former only holds elements in memory at a time while the latter requires manipulating the entire dataset into memory). Running time depends ...

  9. Disjoint-set data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint-set_data_structure

    This root element represents the set to which x belongs and may be x itself. Find returns the root element it reaches. Performing a Find operation presents an important opportunity for improving the forest. The time in a Find operation is spent chasing parent pointers, so a flatter tree leads to faster Find operations.
