Excerpt: Comparison of programming languages is a common topic of discussion among software engineers. Basic instructions of several programming languages are compared here. The bold is the literal code. The non-bold is interpreted by the reader. Statements in guillemets (- ... -) are optional. indicates a necessary indent. The standard constants int shorts and int lengths can be used to determine how many shorts and longs can be usefully prefixed to short int and long int. The actually size of the short int, int and long int is available as constant...
