However, the compiler automatically transforms the code so that the list will "silently" receive objects, while the source code only mentions primitive values. For example, the programmer can now write list. add (3) and think as if the int 3 were added to the list; but, the compiler will have actually transformed the line into list. add (new ...

C and C++ perform such promotion for objects of Boolean, character, wide character, enumeration, and short integer types which are promoted to int, and for objects of type float, which are promoted to double. Unlike some other type conversions, promotions never lose precision or modify the value stored in the object. In Java:
Modula-3 (added more object-oriented features to Modula-2) Nemerle; NetRexx; Oberon-2 (full object-orientation equivalence in an original, strongly typed, Wirthian manner) Object Pascal; Object REXX; Objective-C (a superset of C adding a Smalltalk derived object model and message passing syntax) OCaml; OpenEdge Advanced Business Language (ABL)
As in C, whitespace are generally insignificant to syntax. Value statements terminate by a semicolon. One limitation of the original NeXT property list format is that it could not represent an NSValue (number, Boolean, etc.) object. As a result, these values would have to be converted to string, and "fuzzily" recovered by the application. [2]
Notable programming sources use terms like C-style, C-like, a dialect of C, having C-like syntax. The term curly bracket programming language denotes a language that shares C's block syntax. [1] [2] C-family languages have features like: Code block delimited by curly braces ({}), a.k.a. braces, a.k.a. curly brackets; Semicolon (;) statement ...
Various rules in the C standard make unsigned char the basic type used for arrays suitable to store arbitrary non-bit-field objects: its lack of padding bits and trap representations, the definition of object representation, [7] and the possibility of aliasing. [12] The actual size and behavior of floating-point types also vary by implementation.
For example, a simple linearized object would consist of a length field, a code point identifying the class, and a data value. A more complex example would be a command consisting of the length and code point of the command and values consisting of linearized objects representing the command's parameters.
