  2. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    In computer programming languages, a switch statement is a type of selection control mechanism used to allow the value of a variable or expression to change the control flow of program execution via search and map. Switch statements function somewhat similarly to the if statement used in programming languages like C/C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET ...

  3. Indentation style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style

    In computer programming, indentation style is a convention, a.k.a. style, governing the indentation of blocks of source code.An indentation style generally involves consistent width of whitespace (indentation size) before each line of a block, so that the lines of code appear to be related, and dictates whether to use space or tab characters for the indentation whitespace.

  4. Duff's device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff's_device

    In the C programming language, Duff's device is a way of manually implementing loop unrolling by interleaving two syntactic constructs of C: the do-while loop and a switch statement. Its discovery is credited to Tom Duff in November 1983, when Duff was working for Lucasfilm and used it to speed up a real-time animation program.

  5. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    Sometimes within the body of a loop there is a desire to skip the remainder of the loop body and continue with the next iteration of the loop. Some languages provide a statement such as continue (most languages), skip, [8] cycle (Fortran), or next (Perl and Ruby), which will do this. The effect is to prematurely terminate the innermost loop ...

    Line continuation – escapes a newline to continue a statement on the next line Some languages define a special character as a terminator while some, called line-oriented , rely on the newline . Typically, a line-oriented language includes a line continuation feature whereas other languages have no need for line continuation since newline is ...

  9. Entry point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entry_point

    In most of today's popular programming languages and operating systems, a computer program usually only has a single entry point.. In C, C++, D, Zig, Rust and Kotlin programs this is a function named main; in Java it is a static method named main (although the class must be specified at the invocation time), and in C# it is a static method named Main.
