Definition df-word 13154
Description: Define the class of words over a set. A word (or sometimes also called a string) is a finite sequence of symbols from a set (alphabet) 𝑆. Definition in section 9.1 of [AhoHopUll] p. 318. The domain is forced so that two words with the same symbols in the same order will be the same. This is sometimes denoted with the Kleene star, although properly speaking that is an operator on languages. (Contributed by FL, 14-Jan-2014.) (Revised by Stefan O'Rear, 14-Aug-2015.)
