  2. Comment (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comment_(computer_programming)

    [5] [6] [7] A line comment ends at the end of the text line. In modern languages, a line comment starts with a delimiter but some older languages designate a column at which subsequent text is considered comment. [7] Many languages support both block and line comments – using different delimiters for each.

  3. One-liner program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-liner_program

    Several open-source scripts have been developed to facilitate the construction of Python one-liners. Scripts such as pyp or Pyline import commonly used modules and provide more human-readable variables in an attempt to make Python functionality more accessible on the command line. Here is a redo of the above example (printing the last field of ...

  4. Escape character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_character

    Generally, an escape character is not a particular case of (device) control characters, nor vice versa.If we define control characters as non-graphic, or as having a special meaning for an output device (e.g. printer or text terminal) then any escape character for this device is a control one.

  5. Escape sequences in C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_sequences_in_C

    The \n escape sequence allows for shorter code by specifying the newline in the string literal, and for faster runtime by eliminating the text formatting operation. Also, the compiler can map the escape sequence to a character encoding system other than ASCII and thus make the code more portable.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Whitespace (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming...

    When Whitespace source code is displayed in some browsers, the horizontal spacing produced by a tab character is not fixed, but depends on its location in the text relative to the next horizontal tab stop. Depending on the software, tab characters may also get replaced by the corresponding variable number of space characters.

  8. Indentation style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style

    In computer programming, indentation style is a convention, a.k.a. style, governing the indentation of blocks of source code.An indentation style generally involves consistent width of whitespace (indentation size) before each line of a block, so that the lines of code appear to be related, and dictates whether to use space or tab characters for the indentation whitespace.

  9. Help:Line-break handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Line-break_handling

    As seen on page C‑2 of the newspaper. This code generates "page C‑2" just like the plain code "page C-2", but prevents a line break at the hyphen. However, like  , the use of ‑ instead of "-" renders the source text harder to read and edit. Don't use it unless it is really necessary to avoid a line break.
