[Contents][Index]
The following functions determine the word breaks in a string.
Determines the word break points in s, an array of n units, and
stores the result at p[0..n-1]
.
p[i] = 1
means that there is a word boundary between s[i-1]
and
s[i]
.
p[i] = 0
means that s[i-1]
and s[i]
must not be separated.
p[0]
is always set to 0. If an application wants to consider a
word break to be present at the beginning of the string (before
s[0]
) or at the end of the string (after
s[0..n-1]
), it has to treat these cases explicitly.
