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:

    In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    Whoever has a keen eye for profits, is blind in relation to his craft.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
