In a programming language, a reserved word (sometimes known as a reserved identifier) is a word that cannot be used by a programmer as an identifier, such as the name of a variable, function, or label – it is "reserved from use".
ALGOL 60 (short for Algorithmic Language 1960) is a member of the ALGOL family of computer programming languages.It followed on from ALGOL 58 which had introduced code blocks and the begin and end pairs for delimiting them, representing a key advance in the rise of structured programming.
In the C programming language, register is a reserved word (or keyword), type modifier, storage class, and hint. The register keyword was deprecated in C++, until it became reserved and unused in C++17. It suggests that the compiler stores a declared variable in a CPU register (or some other faster location) instead of in random-access memory.
Rapira (Russian: Рапира, rapier) is an educational procedural programming language developed in the Soviet Union and implemented on the Agat computer, PDP-11 clones (Electronika, DVK, BK series), and Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 clones (Korvet). It is interpreted with a dynamic type system and high level constructions.
In languages derived from the original Smalltalk-80 the current activation of a method is accessible as an object named via a pseudo-variable (one of the six reserved words), thisContext, which corresponds to a stack frame in conventional language implementations, and is called a "context". Sending a message is done within some context, and to ...
Modula-3 is a programming language conceived as a successor to an upgraded version of Modula-2 known as Modula-2+.It has been influential in research circles (influencing the designs of languages such as Java, C#, Python [8] and Nim), but it has not been adopted widely in industry.
Context-free languages are closed under the various operations, that is, if the languages K and L are context-free, so is the result of the following operations: union K ∪ L; concatenation K ∘ L; Kleene star L * [11] substitution (in particular homomorphism) [12] inverse homomorphism [13] intersection with a regular language [14]
Larry Wall adopted shell scripting's use of sigils for his Perl programming language. [ citation needed ] In Perl, the sigils do not specify fine-grained data types like strings and integers, but the more general categories of scalars (using a prefixed " $ "), arrays (using " @ "), hashes (using " % "), and subroutines (using " & ").
