String Literal - Binary and Hexadecimal Strings

Binary and Hexadecimal Strings

REXX uses suffix characters to specify characters or strings using their hexadecimal or binary code. E.g.,

'20'x "0010 0000"b "00100000"b

all yield the space character, avoiding the function call X2C(20).

Famous quotes containing the word strings:

    “A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
    —Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
