在C语言中,

 int x = 1;
 int y = x++ + ++x;
 printf("%d", y);

是模棱两可的，打印什么取决于编译器。编译器可以在计算++x之前或在语句的末尾存储x++的新值。

在C语言中，sizeof操作符不计算其实参。这允许编写看起来错误但实际上是正确的代码。例如，给定类型T，调用malloc()的惯用方法是:

#include <stdlib.h>

T *data = NULL;
data = malloc(sizeof *data);

这里，*data在sizeof操作符中不被求值(data是NULL，所以如果它被求值，就会发生糟糕的事情!)。

这使得人们能够编写令人惊讶的代码，无论如何，对于新手来说。请注意，没有哪个头脑正常的人会这么做:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{   
    int x = 1;
    size_t sz = sizeof(x++);
    printf("%d\n", x);
    return 0;
}   

输出1，而不是2，因为x永远不会增加。

对于sizeof的一些真正的乐趣/困惑:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    char a[] = "Hello";
    size_t s1 = sizeof a;
    size_t s2 = sizeof ("Hi", a);
    printf("%zu %zu\n", s1, s2);
    return 0;
}

(只有当人们对数组、指针和操作符感到困惑时才会出现这种困惑。)

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

雅达利基本:

你可以在不写循环的情况下用字符填充字符串:

10 DIM A$(100)
20 A$(1)=" ":A$(100)=" ":A$(2)=A$

Java中有标记的break和continue语句。
