Statement Terminator
This comparison of programming languages compares the features of Syntax (programming languages), language syntax (format) for over 50 computer programming languages. Expressions Programming language Expression (programming), expressions can be broadly classified into four syntax structures: ;prefix notation * Lisp (programming language), Lisp (* (+ 2 3) (expt 4 5)) ;infix notation * Fortran (2 + 3) * (4 ** 5) ;suffix, postfix, or Reverse Polish notation * Forth (programming language), Forth 2 3 + 4 5 ** * ;math-like notation * TUTOR (programming language), TUTOR (2 + 3)(45) $$ note implicit multiply operator Statements When a programming languages has Statement (programming), statements, they typically have conventions for: * statement separators; * statement terminators; and * line continuation A statement separator demarcates the boundary between two separate statements. A statement terminator defines the end of an individual statement. Languages that interpret the end ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Programming Language
A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs. Most programming languages are text-based formal languages, but they may also be graphical. They are a kind of computer language. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning), which are usually defined by a formal language. Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard) while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common. Programming language theory is the subfield of computer science that studies the design, implementation, analysis, characterization, and classification of programming languages. Definitions There are many considerations when defini ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
