15.1.2.2 Required Kinds of Specialized Arrays

Vectors whose elements are restricted to type character or a subtype of character are called strings. Strings are of type string. The next figure lists some defined names related to strings.

Strings are specialized arrays and might logically have been included in this chapter. However, for purposes of readability most information about strings does not appear in this chapter; see instead Chapter 16 Strings.

Operators that Manipulate Strings
char	string-equal	string-upcase
make-string	string-greaterp	string`/=`
nstring-capitalize	string-left-trim	string`<`
nstring-downcase	string-lessp	string`<=`
nstring-upcase	string-not-equal	string`=`
schar	string-not-greaterp	string`>`
string	string-not-lessp	string`>=`
string-capitalize	string-right-trim
string-downcase	string-trim

Vectors whose elements are restricted to type bit are called bit vectors. Bit vectors are of type bit-vector. The next figure lists some defined names for operations on bit arrays.

Operators that Manipulate Bit Arrays
bit	bit-ior	bit-orc2
bit-and	bit-nand	bit-xor
bit-andc1	bit-nor	sbit
bit-andc2	bit-not
bit-eqv	bit-orc1
