    A match is made, not when all the atoms of the string are matched, but rather when all the pattern atoms in the regex have matched. The idea is to make a small pattern of characters stand for a large number of possible strings, rather than compiling a large list of all the literal possibilities.

    Additionally, re2c generates two files: one with the input strings derived from the regular grammar, and one with compressed match results that are used to verify lexer behavior on all inputs. Input strings are generated so that they extensively cover DFA transitions and paths.

  4. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A string-searching algorithm, sometimes called string-matching algorithm, is an algorithm that searches a body of text for portions that match by pattern. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet ( finite set ) Σ.

  5. Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_string-search...

    The Boyer–Moore algorithm searches for occurrences of P in T by performing explicit character comparisons at different alignments. Instead of a brute-force search of all alignments (of which there are ⁠ n − m + 1 {\displaystyle n-m+1} ⁠ ), Boyer–Moore uses information gained by preprocessing P to skip as many alignments as possible.

    Tree patterns are used in some programming languages as a general tool to process data based on its structure, e.g. C#, [1] F#, [2] Haskell, [3] Java [4], ML, Python, [5] Ruby, [6] Rust, [7] Scala, [8] Swift [9] and the symbolic mathematics language Mathematica have special syntax for expressing tree patterns and a language construct for ...

    // Compares two strings, up to the first len characters. // Note: this is equivalent to !memcmp(str1, str2, len). function same (str1, str2, len) i:= len-1 // The original algorithm tries to play smart here: it checks for the // last character, then second-last, etc. while str1 [i] == str2 [i] if i == 0 return true i:= i-1 return false function search (needle, haystack) T:= preprocess (needle ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    In computer science, the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm (or KMP algorithm) is a string-searching algorithm that searches for occurrences of a "word" W within a main "text string" S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to determine where the next match could begin, thus bypassing re-examination of previously matched characters.

    The first concerns template matching and the second concerns feature detection. A template is a pattern used to produce items of the same proportions. The template-matching hypothesis suggests that incoming stimuli are compared with templates in the long-term memory. If there is a match, the stimulus is identified.
