Compare strings in Intersystems Cache Objectscript
string,string-comparison,intersystems-cache,intersystems,objectscript
It's a bit unclear exactly what you want this string comparison to do, but it appears that you're looking for either the follows ] or sorts after ]] operator. Docs (taken from here): The binary follows operator (]) tests whether the characters in the left operand come after the characters...
Check if same image has already been uploaded by comparing BASE64?
Here's a function that can help you compare files faster. Aside from checking an obvious thing like file size, you can play more with comparing binary chunks. For example, check the last n bytes as well as a chunk of a random offset. I used checksum comparison as a last...
Is there a hashing function that can be used in finding similar (not neccesarily equal) strings?
string,hash,string-comparison,string-search,string-hashing
There is no reliable way of achieving this. This is due to the pigeonhole principle; there are far fewer ways that two short strings can be "close" than two long strings. However, there is the concept of fuzzy hashing, which might get you part of the way there....
C Custom Binary Search not following Multiple Of Element Size rule and crashes
c,crash,binary-search,string-comparison
You appear to be trying to pass a pointer as an integer (see how ArrayPointer is declared as an int but you are casting it to a char **. You are then manipulating the integer with the binary search. This is why you are getting whacky results. Instead, you want...
Why doesn't t != “Q” kill while loop when gets(t) gets input “Q” from command line?
c,character,string-comparison,gets
There are several things wrong with your program. char t[1] = "a"; A string consists of a sequence of characters terminated by a null character '\0'. You haven't left enough room in t to hold the character 'a' plus the terminating '\0'. Due to a special rule, this stores just...

Same strings are different

The difference in the printed arrays is -61, -79 versus -47, -127 as the representation of “ñ”. The negative numbers are apparently what you get when you print bytes interpreted as signed numbers (the first bit being the sign bit). Treating them as unsigned, as bytes in character representations should...
fastest way to compare two columns of strings in C#

Newbie to Java, wondering about if statements and strings that are read by Scanner
java,java.util.scanner,conditional-statements,string-comparison
First off, a class is always capitalized so public class test should be public class Test. You need to compare explicitely with a String. As one is defined nowhere, your code will not work. replace: if (password.equals(one)) with if (password.equals("one")) and you are good to go. Instead, you could also...
String Comparison Using Nested Loops
java,loops,comparison,string-comparison
Since you are working on an exercise, I wouldn't fix your code, but help you fix it yourself. First, some basics: in Java you use charAt(i) to access an individual character. For example, char ch = Text1.charAt(3); gets you the forth character from the beginning of the string (indexes are...
How to compare string to String Array in C#?
c#,compare,user-agent,string-comparison
So you want the word within the array which occurs earliest in the target string? That sounds like you might want something like: return array.Select(word => new { word, index = target.IndexOf(word) }) .Where(pair => pair.index != -1) .OrderBy(pair => pair.index) .Select(pair => pair.word) .FirstOrDefault(); Those steps in detail: Project...
Normalize strings that represent (combinatorical) necklaces [closed]
python,combinatorics,string-comparison,string-matching
If I understand you correctly you first need to construct all circular permutations of the input sequence and then determine the (lexicographically) smallest element. That is the root of your symbol loop. Try this: def normalized(s): L = [s[i:] + s[:i] for i in range(len(s))] return sorted(L)[0] This code works...

Why does the first comparison (string.compare) work and the other two comparison methods does not work in THIS PARTICULAR CASE There are invisible characters (particularly, a Left-to-Right mark (Thanks @MatthewWatson)) in your code. You can view them with any hex editor: This is over-looked by string.Compare, while it isn't...
How does PHP compares characters
php,character,string-comparison
But how does php knows that "a" is smaller then "b"? PHP takes the ASCII values of the characters and compare them. So this is how PHP decides which character is "smaller" than the other one. ASCII table: So in your example: a = 97 //'97' is the ASCII...
Comparing String with It's Reference by “==” [duplicate]
== Compares the reference of the string and is unreliable to use for value comparison. Your s1=="String1" I would imagine is true because you're comparing two literals, compared to the s2 comparison of a new String object compared to a literal.
Compare if the characters in a string are a subset of a second string in C#
This works for me: public static bool IsContainedWithin(this string @this, string container) { var lookup = container.ToLookup(c => c); return @this.ToLookup(c => c).All(c => lookup[c.Key].Count() >= c.Count()); } I tested it like this: var tests = new [] { "met".IsContainedWithin("meet"), "meet".IsContainedWithin("met"), "git".IsContainedWithin("light"), "pall".IsContainedWithin("lamp"), }; I got these results: True False...

comparing string with accents in php
As usual when dealing with charset problems, you need to be extra careful about the character counts between multibyte strings and plain ASCII strings. Your biggest problem here is that you remove some pre-defined characters from the cleaned string, rendering character count coherence between the sanitized string and the original,...

Efficient comparison of small integer vectors
c,integer,compare,bit-manipulation,string-comparison
It's possible to do this using bit-manipulation. Space your values out so that each takes up 5 bits, with 4 bits for the value and an empty 0 in the most significant position as a kind of spacing bit. Placing a spacing bit between each value stops borrows/carries from propagating...

Why does the Java equals(Object O) method not have a variant which can take a specific object type (e.g. String, Integer, etc) as input?
java,generics,equality,string-comparison,method-signature
Because equals() is declared in Object and compareTo(T foo) is defined in Comparable<T>. Before generics the issue was the same with Comparable, compareTo taking an Object argument, but since there's no "Equalable" interface there was no place to stick the generic parameter....
Comparing String with Integer in javascript
