A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.
Java gained popularity shortly after its release, and has been a popular programming language since then. [18] Java was the third most popular programming language in 2022 according to GitHub. [19] Although still widely popular, there has been a gradual decline in use of Java in recent years with other languages using JVM gaining popularity. [20]
In the most SQL dialects the double dash (--) can be used instead. Esoteric languages Many esoteric programming languages follow the convention that any text not executed by the instruction pointer (e.g., Befunge ) or otherwise assigned a meaning (e.g., Brainfuck ), is considered a "comment".
If we define control characters as non-graphic, or as having a special meaning for an output device (e.g. printer or text terminal) then any escape character for this device is a control one. But escape characters used in programming (such as the backslash , "\") are graphic, hence are not control characters.
The off-side rule describes syntax of a computer programming language that defines the bounds of a code block via indentation. [1] [2]The term was coined by Peter Landin, possibly as a pun on the offside law in association football.

In computer programming, a naming convention is a set of rules for choosing the character sequence to be used for identifiers which denote variables, types, functions, and other entities in source code and documentation.
Multiple dispatch or multimethods is a feature of some programming languages in which a function or method can be dynamically dispatched based on the run-time (dynamic) type or, in the more general case, some other attribute of more than one of its arguments. [1]
