Line 40:
There are lots of references to this page throughout wikipedia for a "string" that is not a set of characters; a string of bits or bytes, for example. I think it is important that the article be cleaned-up to make it clear that "character strings" are the most common uses of the type, but the term might apply to vectors of data not representable by a string in a particular language. I've made a couple of edits in this direction, but I think some more effort needs to go into the issue. -- [[User:Mikeblas|Mikeblas]] 22:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
:: Just dont forget that a ''vector'' has a fixed length, ''per definition'' (as an element in an N-dimensional space), while strings often has (chronologically) variable length. [[Special:Contributions/83.255.35.89|83.255.35.89]] ([[User talk:83.255.35.89|talk]]) 11:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
:I agree, but you probably ought not to take it too far. "Character string" is usually implied, and the article shouldn't give the impression that "string" on its own is incorrect. For the most part, I think your edits were fine, although perhaps you could revert the edits to the string oriented languages section. More effort doesn't need to go into the issue, as that would just confuse the article. --[[User:StuartBrady|StuartBrady]] 22:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
