I need a concise explanation.

I need a concise explanation.

His address is a concise speech.

The Gettysburg Address is a concise speech.

His comment was concise and to the point.

His essay was concise and to the point.

The author's mode of expression is very concise.

So the rhythms could be pretty intact too, pretty concise.

So you end up spending less time writing. It's concise.

What the critic says is always concise and to the point.

Authority is confidence plus a concise message, a clear, strong voice.

And one of the things we really wanted was to be concise.

Actually, they're both just concise notations for specifying possibly infinite sets of strings.

This is a very concise way of listing, actually, an infinite number of possibilities.

Each a word you probably learned in your first year of speaking, each perfectly concise.

Just as mathematical expressions are very concise and let us match or describe a large number of integers or numbers, regular expressions are going to be very concise and let us describe a large number of simple strings.

And therefore it looks beautiful because we already know how to write it in a lovely, concise way.

Picking the right one, the small one, the simple one, the concise one, the elegant one, requires creativity.

This is just a concise notation for your benefit, so that we don't have to type out as much.

These mathematical equations are concise notations for a possibly large set of values, especially if I do something like this.

Well, unsurprisingly, these generators are the trick we're going to use to enumerate a lot of strings in a concise manner.

One of the first tools we introduced was regular expressions, which are just a concise notation for specifying some sets of strings.

Then we moved on to the more powerful context free grammars, which are a concise notation for specifying some sets of strings.

And this is why I suggested earlier that performing such a simplification or optimization is like editing someone's writing so that it's more concise.

The purpose of Backus Naur Form is to be able to precisely describe exactly the language in a way that's very simple and very concise.

It's very concise code, but it might be harder to read, especially if you're not familiar with all or map or making functions in Python.

So although it may seem now like HTML and JavaScript are totally arbitrary, in fact, some effort has gone into making them concise and relatively easy.

The word regular has special meaning in mathematics and computer science theory, but for now it just means simple strings, and expression is just a concise notation.

And to that, it's relatively clear that languages like MATLAB, which just like to use the star to multiply two matrices, is going to be more concise.

In our last exciting episode we learned about regular expressions, a concise notation as a way to write down or denote or match a number of strings.

Even this very simple grammar has an infinite number of strings in its language, so it shouldn't be surprising that longer strings than 2 can have very concise parse states.

Let's take something like MATLAB, which is very good at doing mathematical operations or matrices or matrix multiply in a concise manner, and take it as sort of a running example.

Modern programming languages support regular expressions, which are just a concise notation for specifying sets of strings, and using regular expressions is more flexible than using fixed string matching like string.find.

This might seem a little counterintuitive but remember the glory of parsing, or the glory of context free grammars, is that a very concise grammar notation stands for an infinite number of strings.

And presumably now you can imagine how if we had a bunch of these we could just write them all out here, or maybe we could have a slightly more concise system for checking patterns and replacing them.

So again we'll see examples, but the fact that Ruby has this feature, means that it's become pervasively used to make your code more concise and more elegant and inaudible do some hopefully in form of an examples of this today.

Repetition is very common in songs, and you get the same thing out of it that you get out of a regular expression, a concise notation versus in choruses, but then when you expand it out, it takes a long time to sing.

Hexadecimal is just base 16, and the reason we really like base 16 it may seem odd to you at first is that it's a very nice way of representing these base 2 numbers and handling them in a more concise manner.

I think that there is a real reason to keep designing new languages, even if we bootstrap them on top of the old ones, because it might be easier or more concise to think a thought in the new language or because the new language might help us reduce errors or software engineering defects.

It's a very elegant way of telling a story, especially if you're following somebody on a journey, and that journey basically tells something about their personality in a very concise way, and what we wanted to do based on the shot in Goodfellas, which is one of the great shots ever, a Martin Scorsese film, of basically following Henry Hill through what it feels like to be a gangster walk going through the Copacabana and being treated in a special way.
