  2. Whitespace (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming...

    Whitespace defines a command as a sequences of whitespace characters. For example, [Tab][Space][Space][Space] performs arithmetic addition of the top two elements on the stack. A command is written as an instruction modification parameter (IMP) followed by an operation and then any parameters. [1] IMP sequences include:

  3. Trimming (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, PHP and Python allow this optional parameter, while Pascal and Java do not. With Common Lisp's string-trim function, the parameter (called character-bag) is required. The C++ Boost library defines space characters according to locale, as well as offering variants with a predicate parameter (a functor) to select which characters are ...

  4. Whitespace character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character

    Sophisticated fonts may have differently sized spaces for bold, italic, and small-caps faces, and often compositors will manually adjust the width of the space depending on the size and prominence of the text. In addition to this general-purpose space, it is possible to encode a space of a specific width. See the table below for a complete list.

  5. Non-breaking space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space

    A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).

  6. 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.

  7. Zero-width space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space

    The zero-width space can be used to mark word breaks in languages without visible space between words, such as Thai, Myanmar, Khmer, and Japanese. [ 1 ] In justified text, the rendering engine may add inter-character spacing, also known as letter spacing, between letters separated by a zero-width space, unlike around fixed-width spaces.

  8. Comment (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    Although Python does not provide for block comments [43] a bare string literal represented by a triple-quoted string is often used for this purpose. [ 44 ] [ 43 ] In the examples below, the triple double-quoted strings act like comments, but are also treated as docstrings :

  9. 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 ...
