: I was confused by this too. "String" always refers to a string of characters. Vectors of other things are lists, arrays, vectors, ... I'm curious as to what language it is where the word "string" is used in reference to lists of objects. [[User:Richard W.M. Jones|Richard W.M. Jones]] 09:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
:: Yes. And keep in mind that WP article titles generally reflect the most common usage for a given term (unless it needs its own disambiguation page). In computer science, "string" most common refers to a string of characters. Other not-so-common meanings (e.g., ''[[bitstring]]'') can be linked to in the "See also" section. — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] 18:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
== Null and NUL ==
We should decide on just one spelling and capitalization of null. I vote for two L's.[[User:24.186.138.188|24.186.138.188]] 02:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
:"Null" generally refers to the "null character" (or a "null pointer"). "NUL" (all caps) is the mnemonic name ([[ASCII]], [[EBCDIC]], [[Unicode]], etc.) of the "null character" code. — [[User:Loadmaster|Loadmaster]] 18:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
