defmodule String do
  @moduledoc ~S"""
  A String in Elixir is a UTF-8 encoded binary.

  ## Codepoints and grapheme cluster

  The functions in this module act according to the Unicode
  Standard, version 11.0.0.

  As per the standard, a codepoint is a single Unicode Character,
  which may be represented by one or more bytes.

  For example, the codepoint "é" is two bytes:

      iex> byte_size("é")
      2

  However, this module returns the proper length:

      iex> String.length("é")
      1

  Furthermore, this module also presents the concept of grapheme cluster
  (from now on referenced as graphemes). Graphemes can consist of multiple
  codepoints that may be perceived as a single character by readers. For
  example, "é" can be represented either as a single "e with acute" codepoint
  or as the letter "e" followed by a "combining acute accent" (two codepoints):

      iex> string = "\u0065\u0301"
      iex> byte_size(string)
      3
      iex> String.length(string)
      1
      iex> String.codepoints(string)
      ["e", "́"]
      iex> String.graphemes(string)
      ["é"]

  Although the example above is made of two characters, it is
  perceived by users as one.

  Graphemes can also be two characters that are interpreted
  as one by some languages. For example, some languages may
  consider "ch" as a single character. However, since this
  information depends on the locale, it is not taken into account
  by this module.

  In general, the functions in this module rely on the Unicode
  Standard, but do not contain any of the locale specific behaviour.

  More information about graphemes can be found in the [Unicode
  Standard Annex #29](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/).
  The current Elixir version implements Extended Grapheme Cluster
  algorithm.

  For converting a binary to a different encoding and for Unicode
  normalization mechanisms, see Erlang's `:unicode` module.

  ## String and binary operations

  To act according to the Unicode Standard, many functions
  in this module run in linear time, as they need to traverse
  the whole string considering the proper Unicode codepoints.

  For example, `String.length/1` will take longer as
  the input grows. On the other hand, `Kernel.byte_size/1` always runs
  in constant time (i.e. regardless of the input size).

  This means often there are performance costs in using the
  functions in this module, compared to the more low-level
  operations that work directly with binaries:

    * `Kernel.binary_part/3` - retrieves part of the binary
    * `Kernel.bit_size/1` and `Kernel.byte_size/1` - size related functions
    * `Kernel.is_bitstring/1` and `Kernel.is_binary/1` - type checking function
    * Plus a number of functions for working with binaries (bytes)
      in the [`:binary` module](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/binary.html)

  There are many situations where using the `String` module can
  be avoided in favor of binary functions or pattern matching.
  For example, imagine you have a string `prefix` and you want to
  remove this prefix from another string named `full`.

  One may be tempted to write:

      iex> take_prefix = fn full, prefix ->
      ...>   base = String.length(prefix)
      ...>   String.slice(full, base, String.length(full) - base)
      ...> end
      iex> take_prefix.("Mr. John", "Mr. ")
      "John"

  Although the function above works, it performs poorly. To
  calculate the length of the string, we need to traverse it
  fully, so we traverse both `prefix` and `full` strings, then
  slice the `full` one, traversing it again.

  A first attempt at improving it could be with ranges:

      iex> take_prefix = fn full, prefix ->
      ...>   base = String.length(prefix)
      ...>   String.slice(full, base..-1)
      ...> end
      iex> take_prefix.("Mr. John", "Mr. ")
      "John"

  While this is much better (we don't traverse `full` twice),
  it could still be improved. In this case, since we want to
  extract a substring from a string, we can use `Kernel.byte_size/1`
  and `Kernel.binary_part/3` as there is no chance we will slice in
  the middle of a codepoint made of more than one byte:

      iex> take_prefix = fn full, prefix ->
      ...>   base = byte_size(prefix)
      ...>   binary_part(full, base, byte_size(full) - base)
      ...> end
      iex> take_prefix.("Mr. John", "Mr. ")
      "John"

  Or simply use pattern matching:

      iex> take_prefix = fn full, prefix ->
      ...>   base = byte_size(prefix)
      ...>   <<_::binary-size(base), rest::binary>> = full
      ...>   rest
      ...> end
      iex> take_prefix.("Mr. John", "Mr. ")
      "John"

  On the other hand, if you want to dynamically slice a string
  based on an integer value, then using `String.slice/3` is the
  best option as it guarantees we won't incorrectly split a valid
  codepoint into multiple bytes.

  ## Integer codepoints

  Although codepoints could be represented as integers, this
  module represents all codepoints as strings. For example:

      iex> String.codepoints("olá")
      ["o", "l", "á"]

  There are a couple of ways to retrieve a character integer
  codepoint. One may use the `?` construct:

      iex> ?o
      111

      iex> ?á
      225

  Or also via pattern matching:

      iex> <<aacute::utf8>> = "á"
      iex> aacute
      225

  As we have seen above, codepoints can be inserted into
  a string by their hexadecimal code:

      "ol\u0061\u0301" #=>
      "olá"

  ## Self-synchronization

  The UTF-8 encoding is self-synchronizing. This means that
  if malformed data (i.e., data that is not possible according
  to the definition of the encoding) is encountered, only one
  codepoint needs to be rejected.

  This module relies on this behaviour to ignore such invalid
  characters. For example, `length/1` will return
  a correct result even if an invalid codepoint is fed into it.

  In other words, this module expects invalid data to be detected
  elsewhere, usually when retrieving data from the external source.
  For example, a driver that reads strings from a database will be
  responsible to check the validity of the encoding. `String.chunk/2`
  can be used for breaking a string into valid and invalid parts.

  ## Patterns

  Many functions in this module work with patterns. For example,
  `String.split/2` can split a string into multiple patterns given
  a pattern. This pattern can be a string, a list of strings or
  a compiled pattern:

      iex> String.split("foo bar", " ")
      ["foo", "bar"]

      iex> String.split("foo bar!", [" ", "!"])
      ["foo", "bar", ""]

      iex> pattern = :binary.compile_pattern([" ", "!"])
      iex> String.split("foo bar!", pattern)
      ["foo", "bar", ""]

  The compiled pattern is useful when the same match will
  be done over and over again. Note though that the compiled
  pattern cannot be stored in a module attribute as the pattern
  is generated at runtime and does not survive compile term.

  @doc ~S"""
  Divides a string into substrings based on a pattern.

  Returns a list of these substrings. The pattern can
  be a string, a list of strings, a regular expression,
  or a compiled pattern.

  The string is split into as many parts as possible by
  default, but can be controlled via the `:parts` option.

  Empty strings are only removed from the result if the
  `:trim` option is set to `true`.

  When the pattern used is a regular expression, the string is
  split using `Regex.split/3`.

  ## Options

    * `:parts` (positive integer or `:infinity`) - the string
      is split into at most as many parts as this option specifies.
      If `:infinity`, the string will be split into all possible
      parts. Defaults to `:infinity`.

    * `:trim` (boolean) - if `true`, empty strings are removed from
      the resulting list.

  This function also accepts all options accepted by `Regex.split/3`
  if `pattern` is a regular expression.

  ## Examples

  Splitting with a string pattern:

      iex> String.split("a,b,c", ",")
      ["a", "b", "c"]

      iex> String.split("a,b,c", ",", parts: 2)
      ["a", "b,c"]

      iex> String.split(" a b c ", " ", trim: true)
      ["a", "b", "c"]

  A list of patterns:

      iex> String.split("1,2 3,4", [" ", ","])
      ["1", "2", "3", "4"]

  A regular expression:

      iex> String.split("a,b,c", ~r{,})
      ["a", "b", "c"]

      iex> String.split("a,b,c", ~r{,}, parts: 2)
      ["a", "b,c"]

      iex> String.split(" a b c ", ~r{\s}, trim: true)
      ["a", "b", "c"]

      iex> String.split("abc", ~r{b}, include_captures: true)
      ["a", "b", "c"]

  A compiled pattern:

      iex> pattern = :binary.compile_pattern([" ", ","])
      iex> String.split("1,2 3,4", pattern)
      ["1", "2", "3", "4"]

  Splitting on empty string returns graphemes:

      iex> String.split("abc", "")
      ["", "a", "b", "c", ""]

      iex> String.split("abc", "", trim: true)
      ["a", "b", "c"]

      iex> String.split("abc", "", parts: 1)
      ["abc"]

      iex> String.split("abc", "", parts: 3)
      ["", "a", "bc"]

  Be aware that this function can split within or across grapheme boundaries.
  For example, take the grapheme "é" which is made of the characters
  "e" and the acute accent. The following returns `true`:

      iex> String.split(String.normalize("é", :nfd), "e")
      ["", "́"]

  However, if "é" is represented by the single character "e with acute"
  accent, then it will return `false`:

      iex> String.split(String.normalize("é", :nfc), "e")
      ["é"]

  Returns a new string created by replacing occurrences of `pattern` in
  `subject` with `replacement`.

  The `pattern` may be a string, a regular expression, or a compiled pattern.

  By default it replaces all occurrences but this behaviour can be controlled
  through the `:global` option; see the "Options" section below.

  ## Options

    * `:global` - (boolean) if `true`, all occurrences of `pattern` are replaced
      with `replacement`, otherwise only the first occurrence is
      replaced. Defaults to `true`

    * `:insert_replaced` - (integer or list of integers) specifies the position
      where to insert the replaced part inside the `replacement`. If any
      position given in the `:insert_replaced` option is larger than the
      replacement string, or is negative, an `ArgumentError` is raised. See the
      examples below

  ## Examples

      iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ",", "-")
      "a-b-c"

      iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ",", "-", global: false)
      "a-b,c"

  When the pattern is a regular expression, one can give `\N` or
  `\g{N}` in the `replacement` string to access a specific capture in the
  regular expression:

      iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ~r/,(.)/, ",\\1\\g{1}")
      "a,bb,cc"

  Notice we had to escape the backslash escape character (i.e., we used `\\N`
  instead of just `\N` to escape the backslash; same thing for `\\g{N}`). By
  giving `\0`, one can inject the whole matched pattern in the replacement
  string.

  When the pattern is a string, a developer can use the replaced part inside
  the `replacement` by using the `:insert_replaced` option and specifying the
  position(s) inside the `replacement` where the string pattern will be
  inserted:

      iex> String.replace("a,b,c", "b", "[]", insert_replaced: 1)
      "a,[b],c"

      iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ",", "[]", insert_replaced: 2)
      "a[],b[],c"

      iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ",", "[]", insert_replaced: [1, 1])
      "a[,,]b[,,]c"

  A compiled pattern can also be given:

      iex> pattern = :binary.compile_pattern(",")
      iex> String.replace("a,b,c", pattern, "[]", insert_replaced: 2)
      "a[],b[],c"

  When an empty string is provided as a `pattern`, the function will treat it as
  an implicit empty string between each grapheme and the string will be
  interspersed. If an empty string is provided as `replacement` the `subject`
  will be returned:

      iex> String.replace("ELIXIR", "", ".")
      ".E.L.I.X.I.R."

      iex> String.replace("ELIXIR", "", "")
      "ELIXIR"

  Reverses the graphemes in given string.

  ## Examples

      iex> String.reverse("abcd")

      iex> String.reverse("hello world")
      "dlrow olleh"

      iex> String.reverse("hello ∂og")

  not necessarily yield the original string:

      iex> String.reverse("̀e")
      "è"
      iex> String.reverse(String.reverse("̀e"))
      "è"

  In the first example the accent is before the vowel, so
  it is considered two graphemes. However, when you reverse
  it once, you have the vowel followed by the accent, which
  becomes one grapheme. Reversing it again will keep it as
  one single grapheme.

  @doc """
  Computes the jaro distance between two strings.

  Returns a float value between 0 (equates to no similarity) and 1
  (is an exact match) representing [Jaro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro–Winkler_distance)
  distance between `string1` and `string2`.

  The Jaro distance metric is designed and best suited for short
  strings such as person names.

  ## Examples

      iex> String.jaro_distance("dwayne", "duane")
      0.8222222222222223
      iex> String.jaro_distance("even", "odd")
      0.0
      iex> String.jaro_distance("same", "same")
      1.0
