The string algorithm library provides a generic implementation of stringrelated algorithms which are missing in stl. Many early synthesis systems used what has been referred to as a string rewriting mechanism as their central data structure. Initially, the string contains text, which is then rewritten or embellished with extra symbols as processing. Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. What algorithms are good to use for natural language.
