Part IV. Other Language Features

The appendixes fill in some of the more arcane information that this book has referred to, but that is more appropriate to include as reference material.

  • Appendix A lists the octal, hexadecimal, and decimal representations of the ASCII character set that is now in almost universal use.

  • Appendix B lists the limits you can expect to come up against in handling numbers with various sizes of memory allocation.

  • Appendix C lists those impossible-to-remember rules, to help you when you encounter code written by rude people who didn’t use enough parentheses.

  • Appendix D illustrates the manipulation of floating-point (real) numbers, which did not receive complete attention in the rest of the book.

  • The Glossary defines many of the technical terms used throughout the book.
