  2. Syntactic sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar

    In the C language, the a[i] notation is syntactic sugar for *(a + i). [8] Likewise, the a->x notation is syntactic sugar for accessing members using the dereference operator (*a).x. The using statement in C# ensures that certain objects are disposed of correctly. The compiler expands the statement into a try-finally block. [9]

  3. C Sharp 3.0 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_3.0

    In reality, extension methods are a form of syntactic sugar that provide the illusion of adding new methods to the existing class outside its definition. The illusion is achieved with the definition of a static method that is callable as if it were an instance method, where the receiver of the call (i.e., the instance) is bound to the first ...

  4. C Sharp (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    Like with fields, there can be class and instance properties. The underlying methods can be virtual or abstract like any other method. [81] Since C# 3.0 the syntactic sugar of auto-implemented properties is available, [84] where the accessor (getter) and mutator (setter) encapsulate operations on a single attribute of a class.

  5. Comparison of programming languages (list comprehension)

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

    List comprehension is a syntactic construct available in some programming languages for creating a list based on existing lists. It follows the form of the mathematical set-builder notation (set comprehension) as distinct from the use of map and filter functions.

  6. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Operator overloading is syntactic sugar, and is used because it allows programming using notation nearer to the target domain [1] and allows user-defined types a similar level of syntactic support as types built into a language. It is common, for example, in scientific computing, where it allows computing representations of mathematical objects ...

  7. this (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_(computer_programming)

    In the programming language Dylan, which is an object-oriented language that supports multimethods and doesn't have a concept of this, sending a message to an object is still kept in the syntax. The two forms below work in the same way; the differences are just syntactic sugar. object.method(param1, param2) and method (object, param1, param2)

  8. Pyramid of doom (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_doom_(programming)

    This sort of programming construct is very common and a number of programming languages have added some sort of syntactic sugar to address this. For instance, Apple's Swift added the concept of optional chaining in if statements [ 5 ] while Microsoft's C# 6.0 and Visual Basic 14 added the null-conditional operators ?. and ?[ for member access ...

  9. Assignment (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_(computer_science)

    In some programming languages, an assignment statement returns a value, while in others it does not. In most expression-oriented programming languages (for example, C), the assignment statement returns the assigned value, allowing such idioms as x = y = a, in which the assignment statement y = a returns the value of a, which is then assigned to x.
