  3. Transcription error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_error

    Double entry (or more) may also be leveraged to minimize transcription or transposition error, but at the cost of a reduced number of entries per unit time. Mathematical transposition errors are easily identifiable. Add up the numbers that make up the difference and the resultant number will always be evenly divisible by nine. For example, (72 ...

    var x1 = 0; // A global variable, because it is not in any function let x2 = 0; // Also global, this time because it is not in any block function f {var z = 'foxes', r = 'birds'; // 2 local variables m = 'fish'; // global, because it wasn't declared anywhere before function child {var r = 'monkeys'; // This variable is local and does not affect the "birds" r of the parent function. z ...

    The text editor could replace this byte with the replacement character to produce a valid string of Unicode code points for display, so the user sees "f r". A poorly implemented text editor might write out the replacement character when the user saves the file; the data in the file will then become 0x66 0xEF 0xBF 0xBD 0x72 .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark

    In shell and scripting languages, the question mark is often utilized as a wildcard character: a symbol that can be used to substitute for any other character or characters in a string. In particular, filename globbing uses "?" as a substitute for any one character, as opposed to the asterisk, "*", which matches zero or more characters in a string.

  8. Conditional comment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_comment

    By definition, a code comment is text that is ignored by the translator – the browser, IE, in this case. But, the conditional comment feature adds syntax for a conditional statement that is formatted as a comment. Therefore, some text that is formatted as a comment is actually not a comment. It is markup code.

  9. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    This allows the string to contain NUL and made finding the length need only one memory access (O(1) (constant) time), but limited string length to 255 characters. C designer Dennis Ritchie chose to follow the convention of null-termination to avoid the limitation on the length of a string and because maintaining the count seemed, in his ...
