  2. 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 ...

    ^e PHP has two arbitrary-precision libraries. The BCMath library just uses strings as datatype. ... Python 3.x: for i in range ... ^d Instead of using "foo", a string ...

  4. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    In the figure, the fraction 1/9000 is displayed in Excel. Although this number has a decimal representation that is an infinite string of ones, Excel displays only the leading 15 figures. In the second line, the number one is added to the fraction, and again Excel displays only 15 figures. In the third line, one is subtracted from the sum using ...

  5. Nested function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_function

    Nested functions can be used for unstructured control flow, by using the return statement for general unstructured control flow.This can be used for finer-grained control than is possible with other built-in features of the language – for example, it can allow early termination of a for loop if break is not available, or early termination of a nested for loop if a multi-level break or ...

  6. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    Python supports conditional execution of code depending on whether a loop was exited early (with a break statement) or not by using an else-clause with the loop. For example, For example, for n in set_of_numbers : if isprime ( n ): print ( "Set contains a prime number" ) break else : print ( "Set did not contain any prime numbers" )

  7. Inner loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_loop

    The two examples below, written in Python, present a while loop with an inner for loop and a while loop without an inner loop. Although both have the same terminating condition for their while loops, the first example will finish faster because of the inner for loop. The variable innermax is a fraction of the maxticketno variable in the first ...

  8. One-liner program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-liner_program

    Run it with two args, the string and the glob pattern. The exit status is 0 (shell true) when the pattern matches, 1 otherwise. The glob pattern must match the whole string, so you may want to use * at the beginning and end of the pattern if you are looking for something in the middle. Examples:

  9. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    For example, in the expression (f(x)-1)/(f(x)+1), the function f cannot be called only once with its value used two times since the two calls may return different results. Moreover, in the few languages which define the order of evaluation of the division operator's operands, the value of x must be fetched again before the second call, since ...
