The below list of common functions aims to help programmers find the equivalent function in a language Note, string concatenation and regular expressions are handled in separate pages. In computer programming, a string is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable The latter may allow its elements to be mutated and the length changed, or it may be fixed (after creation) A string is often implemented. Is the jaro similarity for strings and is the length.
String metric in mathematics and computer science, a string metric (also known as a string similarity metric or string distance function) is a metric that measures distance (inverse similarity) between two text strings for approximate string matching or comparison and in fuzzy string searching. It is at least the absolute value of the difference of the sizes of the two strings It is at most the length of the longer string It is zero if and only if the strings are equal If the strings have the same size, the hamming distance is an upper bound on the levenshtein distance. Edit distance in computational linguistics and computer science, edit distance is a string metric, i.e
Problem definition given two strings, of length and of length , find a longest string which is substring of both and Given the set of strings , where and Find for each , a longest string which occurs as substring of at least strings. Empty string in formal language theory, the empty string, also known as the empty word or null string, is the unique string of length zero.
