IndexOfconst
IndexOfconst is a term used primarily in theoretical discussions of programming language tooling to denote a function or operation that locates the position of a constant within a sequence, a source stream, or a stream of tokens. It is not a standard built-in in major languages, but similar ideas appear in static analysis, code transformation, and editor tooling.
Conceptually, indexOfconst can be defined in two common contexts. In data collections, it represents a search
Semantics vary by implementation. In runtime collections, matching typically uses value equality (and may or may
Usage scenarios include detecting repeated constants for optimization, refactoring constant literals to named constants, or guiding
