  2. Non-breaking space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space

    A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).

  3. 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.

  4. String interning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning

    All compile-time constant strings in Java are automatically interned using this method. [3] String interning is supported by some modern object-oriented programming languages, including Java, Python, PHP (since 5.4), Lua [4] and .NET languages. [5] Lisp, Scheme, Julia, Ruby and Smalltalk are among the languages with a symbol type that are ...

  5. Help:Line-break handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Line-break_handling

    The non-breaking space works within links exactly like a regular space. Thus you can link to [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] directly and it will render as J. R. R. Tolkien. The initials will not be separated across a line break. However,   renders the source text harder to read and edit. Avoid using it unless it is really necessary to ...

  6. Zero-width space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space

    The zero-width space ( ), abbreviated ZWSP, is a non-printing character used in computerized typesetting to indicate where the word boundaries are, without actually displaying a visible space in the rendered text.

  7. Covariance and contravariance (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contra...

    Therefore, both Java and C# treat array types covariantly. For instance, in Java String [] is a subtype of Object [], and in C# string [] is a subtype of object []. As discussed above, covariant arrays lead to problems with writes into the array. Java [4]: 126 and C# deal with this by marking each array object with a type when it is created ...

  8. Array slicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_slicing

    In computer programming, array slicing is an operation that extracts a subset of elements from an array and packages them as another array, possibly in a different dimension from the original. Common examples of array slicing are extracting a substring from a string of characters, the " ell " in "h ell o", extracting a row or column from a two ...

  9. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    In computer science, an associative array, map, symbol table, or dictionary is an abstract data type that stores a collection of (key, value) pairs, such that each possible key appears at most once in the collection. In mathematical terms, an associative array is a function with finite domain. [1] It supports 'lookup', 'remove', and 'insert ...
