  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    The basic definition of a dictionary does not mandate an order. To guarantee a fixed order of enumeration, ordered versions of the associative array are often used. There are two senses of an ordered dictionary: The order of enumeration is always deterministic for a given set of keys by sorting.

  4. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

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

    Because F# is a .NET language, it also has access to features of the .NET Framework, including the System. Collections. Generic. Dictionary < ' TKey, ' TValue > type (which is implemented as a hash table), which is the primary associative array type used in C# and Visual Basic. This type may be preferred when writing code that is intended to ...

  5. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. Object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and many of their features support functional programming and aspect-oriented programming (including metaprogramming [71] and metaobjects). [72]

  6. Syntax (programming languages) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_(programming_languages)

    The phrase grammar of most programming languages can be specified using a Type-2 grammar, i.e., they are context-free grammars, [8] though the overall syntax is context-sensitive (due to variable declarations and nested scopes), hence Type-1. However, there are exceptions, and for some languages the phrase grammar is Type-0 (Turing-complete).

  7. List of terms relating to algorithms and data structures

    The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures [1] is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For algorithms and data structures not necessarily mentioned here, see list of algorithms and list of data structures.

  8. Off-side rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-side_rule

    The following is an example of indentation blocks in Python; a popular off-side rule language. In Python, the rule is taken to define the boundaries of statements rather than declarations. In Python, the rule is taken to define the boundaries of statements rather than declarations.

  9. Metasyntactic variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasyntactic_variable

    Spam, ham, and eggs are the principal metasyntactic variables used in the Python programming language. [10] This is a reference to the famous comedy sketch, "Spam", by Monty Python, the eponym of the language. [11] In the following example spam, ham, and eggs are metasyntactic variables and lines beginning with # are comments.
