  2. Leaning toothpick syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaning_toothpick_syndrome

    In computer programming, leaning toothpick syndrome (LTS) is the situation in which a quoted expression becomes unreadable because it contains a large number of escape characters, usually backslashes ("\"), to avoid delimiter collision.

  3. Escape character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_character

    Many modern programming languages specify the double-quote character (") as a delimiter for a string literal. The backslash (\) escape character typically provides two ways to include double-quotes inside a string literal, either by modifying the meaning of the double-quote character embedded in the string (\" becomes "), or by modifying the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_literal

    For example, in Python, raw strings are preceded by an r or R – compare 'C:\\Windows' with r'C:\Windows' (though, a Python raw string cannot end in an odd number of backslashes). Python 2 also distinguishes two types of strings: 8-bit ASCII ("bytes") strings (the default), explicitly indicated with a b or B prefix, and Unicode strings ...

    Starts a control string for the operating system to use, terminated by ST. [5]: 8.3.89 ESC X: 0x98: SOS: Start of String Takes an argument of a string of text, terminated by ST. [5]: 5.6 The uses for these string control sequences are defined by the application [5]: 8.3.2, 8.3.128 or privacy discipline.

  6. Escape sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_sequence

    In C and many derivative programming languages, a string escape sequence is a series of two or more characters, starting with a backslash \. [3]Note that in C a backslash immediately followed by a newline does not constitute an escape sequence, but splices physical source lines into logical ones in the second translation phase, whereas string escape sequences are converted in the fifth ...

  7. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports a wide variety of string operations. Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify ...

  8. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    If strings contain numbers, they are added as strings rather than integers, e.g. "2" + "2" returns "22". Python has various string literals: Delimited by single or double quotes; unlike in Unix shells, Perl, and Perl-influenced languages, single and double quotes work the same. Both use the backslash (\) as an escape character.

  9. ASCII - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

    The "escape" character (ESC, code 27), for example, was intended originally to allow sending of other control characters as literals instead of invoking their meaning, an "escape sequence". This is the same meaning of "escape" encountered in URL encodings, C language strings, and other systems where certain characters have a reserved meaning ...
