In computer science, interning is re-using objects of equal value on-demand instead of creating new objects. This creational pattern is frequently used...

String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both). Most programming...

In formal language theory, the empty string, or empty word, is the unique string of length zero. Formally, a string is a finite, ordered sequence of characters...

A query string is a part of a uniform resource locator (URL) that assigns values to specified parameters. A query string commonly includes fields added...

In computer science, in the area of formal language theory, frequent use is made of a variety of string functions; however, the notation used is different...

In computer science and the study of combinatorics on words, a partial word is a string that may contain a number of "do not know" or "do not care" symbols...

In computing, a connection string is a string that specifies information about a data source and the means of connecting to it. It is passed in code to...

In computer science, a maximal pair within a string is a pair of matching substrings that are maximal, where "maximal" means that it is not possible to...
