Abstract

Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, devices and/or systems for manipulating character expressions to determine relationships among such character expressions. In particular embodiments, a character expression may be represented as a concatenation of binary representations of individual characters in the character expression to provide a binary string. The binary string may then be processed by applying a binary arithmetic operator to provide a comparison.
