Meanings
- The set of all strings of finite length made up of elements of a given set. (Then the Kleene closure is said to be of that given set. For a given set S, its Kleene closure may be denoted as S^*. The Kleene closure includes a string of zero length. Strings are equivalent to ordered tuples but written without the parentheses and commas.)
