  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    For example, one could define a dictionary having a string "toast" mapped to the integer 42 or vice versa. The keys in a dictionary must be of an immutable Python type, such as an integer or a string, because under the hood they are implemented via a hash function. This makes for much faster lookup times, but requires keys not change.

  3. Global variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_variable

    PHP has a global keyword and a number of unusual ways of using global variables. Variables declared outside functions have file scope (which is for most purposes the widest scope). However, they are not accessible inside functions unless imported with the global keyword (i.e., the keyword accesses global variables, it does not declare them).

  4. 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.

    String functions are used to create strings or change the contents of a mutable string. They also are used to query information about a string. They also are used to query information about a string. The set of functions and their names varies depending on the computer programming language .

  6. 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).

  7. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

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

    String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both). Most programming languages that have a string datatype will have some string functions although there may be other low-level ways within each language to handle strings directly. In object-oriented languages ...

  8. Naming convention (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention...

    The choice of a variable name should be mnemonic — that is, designed to indicate to the casual observer the intent of its use. One-character variable names should be avoided except for temporary "throwaway" variables. Common names for temporary variables are i, j, k, m, and n for integers; c, d, and e for characters. int i;

  9. Scope (computer science) - Wikipedia

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

    Both these rules can be overridden with a global or nonlocal (in Python 3) declaration prior to use, which allows accessing global variables even if there is a masking nonlocal variable, and assigning to global or nonlocal variables. As a simple example, a function resolves a variable to the global scope: >>>
