  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports a wide variety of string operations. Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify ...

    Python: python.org: Python Software Foundation License: Python has two major implementations, the built in re and the regex library. Ruby: ruby-doc.org: GNU Library General Public License: Ruby 1.8, Ruby 1.9, and Ruby 2.0 and later versions use different engines; Ruby 1.9 integrates Oniguruma, Ruby 2.0 and later integrate Onigmo, a fork from ...

  4. Semi-Thue system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-Thue_system

    A string rewriting system or semi-Thue system is a tuple (,) where . is an alphabet, usually assumed finite. [5] The elements of the set (* is the Kleene star here) are finite (possibly empty) strings on , sometimes called words in formal languages; we will simply call them strings here.

  5. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    A similar convention is used in sed, where search and replace is given by s/re/replacement/ and patterns can be joined with a comma to specify a range of lines as in /re1/,/re2/. This notation is particularly well known due to its use in Perl, where it forms part of the syntax distinct from normal string literals. In some cases, such as sed and ...

  6. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    In information theory, linguistics, and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. The Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other.

  7. Attribute-based access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribute-based_access_control

    Attribute-based access control (ABAC), also known as policy-based access control for IAM, defines an access control paradigm whereby a subject's authorization to perform a set of operations is determined by evaluating attributes associated with the subject, object, requested operations, and, in some cases, environment attributes.

  8. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    In computer programming languages, a switch statement is a type of selection control mechanism used to allow the value of a variable or expression to change the control flow of program execution via search and map.

  9. Specials (Unicode block) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)

    The text editor could replace this byte with the replacement character to produce a valid string of Unicode code points for display, so the user sees "f r". A poorly implemented text editor might write out the replacement character when the user saves the file; the data in the file will then become 0x66 0xEF 0xBF 0xBD 0x72 .
