  2. Type conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    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:

  3. Signed overpunch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_overpunch

    It is used in character data on IBM mainframes by languages such as COBOL, PL/I, and RPG. [1] Its purpose is to save a character that would otherwise be used by the sign digit. [2] The code is derived from the Hollerith Punched Card Code, where both a digit and a sign can be entered in the same card column. It is called an overpunch because the ...

  4. 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.

  5. Comparison of programming languages (syntax) - Wikipedia

    The actual statement is in columns 7 through 72 of a line. Any non-space character in column 6 indicates that this line is a continuation of the prior line. A 'C' in column 1 indicates that this entire line is a comment. Columns 1 though 5 may contain a number which serves as a label.

  6. Escape sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_sequence

    In C and many derivative programming languages, a string escape sequence is a series of two or more characters, starting with a backslash \. [3]Note that in C a backslash immediately followed by a newline does not constitute an escape sequence, but splices physical source lines into logical ones in the second translation phase, whereas string escape sequences are converted in the fifth ...

  7. C++ string handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++_string_handling

    In modern standard C++, a string literal such as "hello" still denotes a NUL-terminated array of characters. [1] Using C++ classes to implement a string type offers several benefits of automated memory management and a reduced risk of out-of-bounds accesses, [2] and more intuitive syntax for string comparison and concatenation. Therefore, it ...

  8. List of numerical libraries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numerical_libraries

    Hermes Project: C++/Python library for rapid prototyping of space- and space-time adaptive hp-FEM solvers. IML++ is a C++ library for solving linear systems of equations, capable of dealing with dense, sparse, and distributed matrices. IT++ is a C++ library for linear algebra (matrices and vectors), signal processing and communications ...

  9. C string handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_string_handling

    Most of the functions that operate on C strings are declared in the string.h header (cstring in C++), while functions that operate on C wide strings are declared in the wchar.h header (cwchar in C++). These headers also contain declarations of functions used for handling memory buffers; the name is thus something of a misnomer.
