Line 1:
In [[computer science]], the '''complexity function''' of a ''word'' or ''[[string, (computer science)|string]]'' (a finite or infinite sequence of letterssymbols from some [[alphabet, (formal languages)|alphabet]]) is the function that counts the number of distinct ''factors'' (substrings of consecutive symbols) fromof that string. More generally, the complexity function of a [[formal language,]] (a set of finite words over an alphabet,strings) counts the number of distinct words of given length.
