在你看来,你遇到过的最令人惊讶、最怪异、最奇怪或最“WTF”的语言特性是什么?

请每个回答只回答一个特征。

Python的三元操作符

在Python中,C三元操作符(c++示例:bool isNegative = i < 0 ?True: false;)可用作语法糖:

>>> i = 1
>>> "It is positive" if i >= 0 else "It is negative!"
'It is positive'
>>> i = -1
>>> "It is positive" if i >= 0 else "It is negative!"
'It is negative!'

这并不奇怪,而是一种特征。奇怪的是,与C中的顺序(条件?答:b)。

其他回答

一个意想不到的特性是,在C、c#、Ruby等语言中,枚举定义列表和数组初始化列表中的末尾逗号。

string[] foods = { "tofu", "grits", "cabbage", }

public enum ArtPeriod {
  Modern,
  Romantic,
  Dada,
}

不知道有没有人提过。

在Java中,在finally块中它可以返回一个值。它将停止异常的传播并覆盖正常的return语句。

在c++中,你可以做:

std::string my_str;
std::string my_str_concat = my_str + "foo";

但你不能:

std::string my_str_concat = "foo" + my_str;

操作符重载通常服从WTF。

在PHP中:

for ($s="a";$s<="z";$s++) echo $s.' ';

这将是:

a b c d e .. .w x y z aa ab ac ad .. ay az ba bb bc ... by bz ca cb ... yz za zb ... zx zy zz

Perl的许多内置变量:

$# — not a comment! $0, $$, and $? — just like the shell variables by the same name $ˋ, $&, and $' — weird matching variables $" and $, — weird variables for list- and output-field-separators $! — like errno as a number but strerror(errno) as a string $_ — the stealth variable, always used and never seen $#_ — index number of the last subroutine argument... maybe @_ — the (non)names of the current function... maybe $@ — the last-raised exception %:: — the symbol table $:, $^, $~, $-, and $= — something to do with output formats $. and $% — input line number, output page number $/ and $\ — input and output record separators $| — output buffering controller $[ — change your array base from 0-based to 1-based to 42-based: WHEEE! $} — nothing at all, oddly enough! $<, $>, $(, $) — real and effective UIDs and GIDs @ISA — names of current package’s direct superclasses $^T — script start-up time in epoch seconds $^O — current operating system name $^V — what version of Perl this is
