  2. Damerau–Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau–Levenshtein_distance

    The Damerau–Levenshtein distance LD(CA, ABC) = 2 because CA → AC → ABC, but the optimal string alignment distance OSA(CA, ABC) = 3 because if the operation CA → AC is used, it is not possible to use AC → ABC because that would require the substring to be edited more than once, which is not allowed in OSA, and therefore the shortest ...

  3. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    It is at least the absolute value of the difference of the sizes of the two strings. It is at most the length of the longer string. It is zero if and only if the strings are equal. If the strings have the same size, the Hamming distance is an upper bound on the Levenshtein distance. The Hamming distance is the number of positions at which the ...

  4. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string.

  5. EarSketch - Wikipedia

    The string corresponds to times when the file should be played, sustained, or when there should be silence. This is a common way of creating percussive lines in music programming languages. For instance, in EarSketch, '0' indicates that the file should play, then '-' means a silence, and '+' means keep playing the sample.

  6. Array slicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_slicing

    For "one-dimensional" (single-indexed) arrays – vectors, sequence, strings etc. – the most common slicing operation is extraction of zero or more consecutive elements. Thus, if we have a vector containing elements (2, 5, 7, 3, 8, 6, 4, 1), and we want to create an array slice from the 3rd to the 6th items, we get (7, 3, 8, 6).

  7. Edit distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance

    Given two strings a and b on an alphabet Σ (e.g. the set of ASCII characters, the set of bytes [0..255], etc.), the edit distance d(a, b) is the minimum-weight series of edit operations that transforms a into b. One of the simplest sets of edit operations is that defined by Levenshtein in 1966: [2] Insertion of a single symbol.

  8. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    The array L stores the length of the longest common suffix of the prefixes S[1..i] and T[1..j] which end at position i and j, respectively. The variable z is used to hold the length of the longest common substring found so far. The set ret is used to hold the set of strings which are of length z.

  9. Hamming distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance

    For a fixed length n, the Hamming distance is a metric on the set of the words of length n (also known as a Hamming space), as it fulfills the conditions of non-negativity, symmetry, the Hamming distance of two words is 0 if and only if the two words are identical, and it satisfies the triangle inequality as well: [2] Indeed, if we fix three words a, b and c, then whenever there is a ...
