This version combines the syntax and rules of the other two formats. The syntax of this combined format is presented.
Introduction Aims Many programming languages rely on library functions for string handling.
This unit examines the first of three string handling verbs and aims to provide you with a solid understanding of its various formats and modifying phrases. To simplify the syntax diagrams and reduce the number of rules that must be explained, special operand endings are used in this unit's syntax diagrams. The second replaces a group of characters in a stringwith another group of characters. The third combines both operations in one statement. The fourth format converts each of a set of characters to its corresponding character in another set of characters.
