  2. String literal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_literal

    A string literal or anonymous string is a literal for a string value in the source code of a computer program. Modern programming languages commonly use a quoted sequence of characters, formally "bracketed delimiters", as in x = "foo", where , "foo" is a string literal with value foo. Methods such as escape sequences can be used to avoid the ...

  3. Literal (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, a literal is a textual representation (notation) of a value as it is written in source code. [1] [2] Almost all programming languages have notations for atomic values such as integers, floating-point numbers, and strings, and usually for Booleans and characters; some also have notations for elements of enumerated types and compound values such as arrays, records, and objects.

    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 ...

  5. Line number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_number

    In the C programming language the line number of a source code line is one greater than the number of new-line characters read or introduced up to that point. [1] Programmers could also assign line numbers to statements in older programming languages, such as Fortran, JOSS, and BASIC. In Fortran, not every statement needed a line number, and ...

  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. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports a wide variety of string operations. Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify ...

  8. JSON streaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_streaming

    The terms "line-delimited JSON" and "newline-delimited JSON" are often used without clarifying if embedded newlines are supported. In the past the NDJ specification ("newline-delimited JSON") [8] allowed comments to be embedded if the first two characters of a given line were "//". This could not be used with standard JSON parsers if comments ...

  9. Newline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline

    A newline inserted between the words "Hello" and "world" A newline (frequently called line ending, end of line (EOL), next line (NEL) or line break) is a control character or sequence of control characters in character encoding specifications such as ASCII, EBCDIC, Unicode, etc.
