Hungarian Notation - Relation To Sigils

Relation To Sigils

In some programming languages, a similar notation now called sigils is built into the language and enforced by the compiler. For example, in BASIC, name$ names a string and count% names an integer. The major difference between Hungarian notation and sigils is that sigils declare the type of the variable to the compiler, while Hungarian notation is purely a naming scheme.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:

    The whole point of Camp is to dethrone the serious. Camp is playful, anti-serious. More precisely, Camp involves a new, more complex relation to “the serious.” One can be serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, no exemption, no anomaly,—but method, and an even web; and what comes out, that was put in.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
