Deletionsfrom
Deletionsfrom is a term used in information processing to describe an operation that removes elements from a sequence or collection beginning at a specified index and continuing according to a rule. The term is not tied to a single standard and appears across different programming libraries as a pattern for editing data structures. It can refer to in-place mutation or to functional styles that return a new sequence.
Operation and scope: Given a sequence, a starting index, and an optional count, deletionsfrom removes elements
Algorithm and complexity: In typical array-like structures, deletionsfrom shifts subsequent elements to fill the gap, making
Examples: A Python-like pseudocode appears as:
def deletionsFrom(seq, start, count=None):
Applications and variants: Used in data cleaning, log trimming, and user-interface updates—any scenario requiring removal of
