  2. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    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 ...

  3. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    Different approximate matchers impose different constraints. Some matchers use a single global unweighted cost, that is, the total number of primitive operations necessary to convert the match to the pattern. For example, if the pattern is coil, foil differs by one substitution, coils by one insertion, oil by one deletion, and foal by two ...

  4. Three-way comparison - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-way_comparison

    In C, the functions strcmp and memcmp perform a three-way comparison between strings and memory buffers, respectively. They return a negative number when the first argument is lexicographically smaller than the second, zero when the arguments are equal, and a positive number otherwise.

  5. Trie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trie

    Instead, each node's position within the trie determines its associated key, with the connections between nodes defined by individual characters rather than the entire key. Tries are particularly effective for tasks such as autocomplete, spell checking, and IP routing, offering advantages over hash tables due to their prefix-based organization ...

  6. Fuzzy matching (computer-assisted translation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_matching_(computer...

    Fuzzy matching is a technique used in computer-assisted translation as a special case of record linkage.It works with matches that may be less than 100% perfect when finding correspondences between segments of a text and entries in a database of previous translations.

  7. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Blue highlights show the match results of the regular expression pattern: /r[aeiou]+/ g (lower case r followed by one or more lower-case vowels). A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp ), [ 1 ] sometimes referred to as rational expression , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text .

  8. Matching (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_(statistics)

    Matching is a statistical technique that evaluates the effect of a treatment by comparing the treated and the non-treated units in an observational study or quasi-experiment (i.e. when the treatment is not randomly assigned).

  9. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    When the program requires the sine of a value, it can use the lookup table to retrieve the closest sine value from a memory address, and may also interpolate to the sine of the desired value, instead of calculating by mathematical formula. Lookup tables can thus used by mathematics coprocessors in computer systems.
