  2. Value type and reference type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_type_and_reference_type

    At the end, a refers to the second object with its prop field having the value 1, while b refers to the first object with its prop field having the value 3. However, such as C++, the term "reference type" is used to mean an alias, and it is not possible to rebind a variable of a reference type once it is created, as it is an alias to the ...

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

    The actual sizes of short int, int, and long int are available as the constants short max int, max int, and long max int etc. ^b Commonly used for characters. ^c The ALGOL 68, C and C++ languages do not specify the exact width of the integer types short , int , long , and ( C99 , C++11 ) long long , so they are implementation-dependent.

  4. Data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type

    The standard type hierarchy of Python 3. In computer science and computer programming, a data type (or simply type) is a collection or grouping of data values, usually specified by a set of possible values, a set of allowed operations on these values, and/or a representation of these values as machine types. [1]

  5. String interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interpolation

    There are two main types of variable-expanding algorithms for variable interpolation: [3] Replace and expand placeholders: creating a new string from the original one, by find–replace operations. Find variable reference (placeholder), replace it by its variable value. This algorithm offers no cache strategy.

  6. String interning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning

    String interning also reduces memory usage if there are many instances of the same string value; for instance, it is read from a network or from storage. Such strings may include magic numbers or network protocol information. For example, XML parsers may intern names of tags and attributes to save memory.

  7. Variable (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, a variable of type "integer" is prohibited from storing text values. [6] In dynamically typed languages such as Python, a variable's type is inferred by its value, and can change according to its value.

  8. Union type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_type

    ] The size of a union is sufficient to contain the largest of its members. The value of at most one of the members can be stored in a union object at any time. A pointer to a union object, suitably converted, points to each of its members (or if a member is a bit-field, then to the unit in which it resides), and vice versa.

  9. Integer literal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_literal

    In computer science, an integer literal is a kind of literal for an integer whose value is directly represented in source code.For example, in the assignment statement x = 1, the string 1 is an integer literal indicating the value 1, while in the statement x = 0x10 the string 0x10 is an integer literal indicating the value 16, which is represented by 10 in hexadecimal (indicated by the 0x prefix).
