  2. Trimming (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    The most popular variants of the trim function strip only the beginning or end of the string. Typically named ltrim and rtrim respectively, or in the case of Python: lstrip and rstrip. C# uses TrimStart and TrimEnd, and Common Lisp string-left-trim and string-right-trim.

    Python std.string.format(formatstring, items) D: C: ... it can be necessary to remove string positions at the end, ... An empty string returns a length of 0.

  4. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    Null-terminated strings require that the encoding does not use a zero byte (0x00) anywhere; therefore it is not possible to store every possible ASCII or UTF-8 string. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] However, it is common to store the subset of ASCII or UTF-8 – every character except NUL – in null-terminated strings.

  5. Context-free grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-free_grammar

    A derivation of a string for a grammar is a sequence of grammar rule applications that transform the start symbol into the string. A derivation proves that the string belongs to the grammar's language. A derivation is fully determined by giving, for each step: the rule applied in that step; the occurrence of its left-hand side to which it is ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Simple Common Gateway Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Common_Gateway...

    Each header consists of a name–value pair, where both the name and the value are null-terminated strings . The value can be an empty string, in which case the terminating null still remains. Neither name nor value can contain any embedded null bytes. These considerations are standard for C strings, but are often confusing for programmers used ...

  8. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    The empty list would not match the pattern at all, as an empty list does not have a head (the first element that is constructed). In the example, we have no use for list , so we can disregard it, and thus write the function:

  9. String literal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_literal

    For example, in Python, raw strings are preceded by an r or R – compare 'C:\\Windows' with r'C:\Windows' (though, a Python raw string cannot end in an odd number of backslashes). Python 2 also distinguishes two types of strings: 8-bit ASCII ("bytes") strings (the default), explicitly indicated with a b or B prefix, and Unicode strings ...
