Strictly speaking, no. All programming languages use the standardised ASCII character sets by default, thus ensuring portability. Individual language implementations may allow other character sets to be used but its best to stick to the standard implementation. Although some modern languages default to UTF-8 to cater for foreign language symbols, UTF-8 is composed of ASCII characters and is also a subset of UTF-8.

Why are people who are good at languages good at programming?

This is not necessarily true. It depends on how good you are a programming rather then speaking languages. It may be that people who come from different countries speak the language of where they come from and decide to do programming as their job.


Why are HTML and XML not true computer languages?

Because they are only mark up languages. They can be used only to display/render content on the UI (User Interfaces) screens They cannot contain any business logic or programming logic and hence they are not true programming languages.


In most languages the first character of a variable name cannot be a number?

In most programming languages, variable names cannot start with a number. Variable names must start with a letter, underscore (_), or dollar sign ($). This rule is in place to differentiate variable names from numeric literals.


What is boolean in C Sharp?

A boolean is a variable type that can only be two different values True or False same as it is in most programming languages but in C# booleans are stated as: public bool var = True; or public bool var = False;

How does a while loop work in programming languages?

A while loop in programming languages repeatedly executes a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. The loop continues to run until the condition becomes false, at which point the program moves on to the next line of code.

Is it true that - has higher precedence than?

In many programming languages, the operator "has higher precedence than" is not a standard phrase, but if you are referring to specific operators (like * vs. +), then yes, multiplication typically has higher precedence than addition. However, for a precise answer, the specific operators being compared must be clarified, as precedence rules can vary between different programming languages. Always consult the documentation for the specific language you are using.


How many character in 1 KB?

1 Kb is 1024 bytes and 1 character takes 1 byte of the main memory. So, it is 1024 chars in 1 Kb. The preceding is only true for languages which have 8-bit characters. Most modern computer languages support the concept of Unicode, which allows for character encodings in various languages. The most widespread Unicode encoding format is UTF-8, which uses between 1 and 4 bytes to represent a specific character symbol. For instance, the Java programming language assumes all characters are in Unicode UTF-16 format, which is a 16-bit character encoding. So, in Java, only 512 characters will fit in 1 kB.


What are the Disadvantages of Markup Languages?

•These are not true programming languages, as they contain instructions to control the flow of the program, such as decision structures or loops.• Instead mark-up languages give instructions to control the format and layout of a computer file.•Examples include HTML used to create web pages.


Do DTD's follow the inheritance principle?

No, Document Type Definitions (DTDs) do not support true inheritance like object-oriented programming languages. However, they do allow for entity declarations that can be reused across different model structures, providing a level of modularity and reuse but not direct inheritance.


What are the opertunities of c languages?

By "c languages" I assume you mean c programming languages? If so then there are still a significant amount of programming careers dealing with the c languages. Sure, it may seem that languages like c and c++ are gradually being replaced by other more popular languages like Java. Don't get me wrong, Java is a very good and powerful language and there is definitely a place for it in the world. Programmers can write versatile applications that will work on basically any operating system as long as it has a Java Virtual Machine installed on it. With that being said, what language do you suppose the Java Virtual Machine is written in? I'm not sure as to if it is c or c++ but I am certain that it is one or even a combination of the two. Basically the point I'm trying to make is that a lot of the very serious applications and programs are still heavily written in the c languages. The operating system you used to write your question was written in one and/or some combination of the c language/s. A significant number of financial software is written in c programming languages. Things like databases, video games, statistical applications, device drivers, logistical drivers, and probably even more are still written in the c languages. True, life goes on and the c programming languages could one day become totally obsolete but then again so can the other more popular languages like Java. I'm not saying that you only need to know one of the c languages to have a successful career in computer programming. Most likely you will need to know a couple of the major programming languages to have a long and happy life as a programmer. Also, for your information, most programmers are able to program in multiple languages. In order for you to get a realistic feel for what kind of opportunities and job security there is for programmers in a certain language just go to either monsterjobs.com or careerbuilder.com and search for positions in c, c++ and finally c# and I'm sure you will be more comfortable and confidant in choosing to study the c programming languages more. I did a search and found quite a number of c++ and c programming job listing out there. Overall, the opportunities of the c programming languages are about as diverse as the applications themselves. You could end up programming for a bank, different stock trading firms, different financial institutions, engineering organizations, universities and so on and so forth. Just do some research and you should be better able to get a good picture of what you can expect in the world of the c programming languages. Good luck and happy programming!
