open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Computer_science/lN3pEyPz">computer science</a>, a maximal pair within a string is a pair of matching substrings that are maximal, where "maximal" means that it is not possible to make a longer matching pair by extending the range of both substrings to the left or right. </p>
