For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string. See for example Concatenation below.
Like raw strings, there can be any number of equals signs between the square brackets, provided both the opening and closing tags have a matching number of equals signs; this allows nesting as long as nested block comments/raw strings use a different number of equals signs than their enclosing comment: --[[comment --[=[ nested comment ...
For example, in sh-compatible Unix shells (as well as Perl and Ruby), double-quoted (quotation-delimited, ") strings are interpolated, while single-quoted (apostrophe-delimited, ') strings are not. Non-interpolated string literals are sometimes referred to as "raw strings", but this is distinct from "raw string" in the sense of escaping.
Many languages have a syntax specifically intended for strings with multiple lines. In some of these languages, this syntax is a here document or "heredoc": A token representing the string is put in the middle of a line of code, but the code continues after the starting token and the string's content doesn't appear until the next line. In other ...
C# naming conventions generally follow the guidelines published by Microsoft for all .NET languages [21] (see the .NET section, below), but no conventions are enforced by the C# compiler. The Microsoft guidelines recommend the exclusive use of only PascalCase and camelCase , with the latter used only for method parameter names and method-local ...
A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters for specifying the boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text, mathematical expressions or other data streams. [1] [2] An example of a delimiter is the comma character, which acts as a field delimiter in a sequence of comma-separated values.
For example, in C#, the "@" prefix can be used either for stropping (to allow reserved words to be used as identifiers), or as a prefix to a literal (to indicate a raw string); in this case neither use is a sigil, as it affects the syntax of identifiers or the semantics of literals, not the semantics of identifiers.
Many languages support both block and line comments – using different delimiters for each. For example, C, C++ and their many derivatives support block comments delimited by /* and */ and line comments delimited by //. Other languages support only one type of comment. [7]
