  2. Ternary conditional operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_conditional_operator

    The detailed semantics of "the" ternary operator as well as its syntax differs significantly from language to language. A top level distinction from one language to another is whether the expressions permit side effects (as in most procedural languages) and whether the language provides short-circuit evaluation semantics, whereby only the selected expression is evaluated (most standard ...

  3. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.

  4. Dangling else - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_else

    The convention when dealing with the dangling else is to attach the else to the nearby if statement, [2] allowing for unambiguous context-free grammars, in particular. Programming languages like Pascal, [3] C, [4] and Java [5] follow this convention, so there is no ambiguity in the semantics of the language, though the use of a parser generator ...

  5. Conditional (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_(computer...

    The if–then or if–then–else construction is used in many programming languages. Although the syntax varies from language to language, the basic structure (in pseudocode form) looks like this: If (Boolean condition) Then (consequent) Else (alternative) End If. For example: If stock=0 Then message= order new stock Else message= there is ...

  6. Comparison of programming languages (syntax) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    With respect to a language definition, the syntax of Comments can be classified many ways, including: Line vs. block – a line comment starts with a delimiter and continues to the end of the line ( newline marker) whereas a block comment starts with one delimiter and ends with another and can cross lines

  7. ALGOL 68 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL_68

    ALGOL 68 (short for Algorithmic Language 1968) is an imperative programming language member of the ALGOL family that was conceived as a successor to the ALGOL 60 language, designed with the goal of a much wider scope of application and more rigorously defined syntax and semantics.

  8. Elvis operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_operator

    In certain computer programming languages, the Elvis operator, often written ?:, is a binary operator that evaluates its first operand and returns it if its value is logically true (according to a language-dependent convention, in other words, a truthy value), and otherwise evaluates and returns its second operand.

  9. Ellipsis (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Ellipsis_(computer_programming)

    In some programming languages (including Ada, Perl, Ruby, Apache Groovy, Kotlin, Haskell, and Pascal), a shortened two-dot ellipsis is used to represent a range of values given two endpoints; for example, to iterate through a list of integers between 1 and 100 inclusive in Perl: foreach (1..100)
