If an identifier is needed which would be the same as a reserved keyword, it may be prefixed by an at sign to distinguish it. For example, @out is interpreted as an identifier, whereas out as a keyword. This syntax facilitates reuse of .NET code written in other languages. [4] The following C# keywords are reserved words: [2]
Push -1 onto the stack as int32. Base instruction 0x15 ldc.i4.M1: Push -1 onto the stack as int32 (alias for ldc.i4.m1). Base instruction 0x1F ldc.i4.s <int8 (num)> Push num onto the stack as int32, short form. Base instruction 0x21 ldc.i8 <int64 (num)> Push num of type int64 onto the stack as int64. Base instruction 0x22 ldc.r4 <float32 (num)>
In addition to the assumption about bit-representation of floating-point numbers, the above floating-point type-punning example also violates the C language's constraints on how objects are accessed: [3] the declared type of x is float but it is read through an expression of type unsigned int.
In many programming languages, only integers can be reliably used in a count-controlled loop. Floating-point numbers are represented imprecisely due to hardware constraints, so a loop such as. for X := 0.1 step 0.1 to 1.0 do. might be repeated 9 or 10 times, depending on rounding errors and/or the hardware and/or the compiler version.
A block of data of size 2 (n+1) − 1 always has one sub-block of size 2 n aligned on 2 n bytes. This is how a dynamic allocator that has no knowledge of alignment, can be used to provide aligned buffers, at the price of a factor two in space loss.
In other words, a union type specifies the permitted types that may be stored in its instances, e.g., float and integer. In contrast with a record, which could be defined to contain both a float and an integer; a union would hold only one at a time. A union can be pictured as a chunk of memory that is used to store variables of different data ...
The .NET Framework provides System.Numerics.Complex since version 4.0. The smart BASIC for iOS naturally supports complex numbers in notation a + bi. Any variable, math operation or function can accept both real and complex numbers as arguments and return real or complex numbers depending on result. For example the square root of -4 is a ...
For example, in the expression (f(x)-1)/(f(x)+1), the function f cannot be called only once with its value used two times since the two calls may return different results. Moreover, in the few languages which define the order of evaluation of the division operator's operands, the value of x must be fetched again before the second call, since ...
