Hi!
I have some questions about different signs in programming terms and mathematical terms:

!= how do you say that in programming terms?
>= how do you say that in programming terms?
/* when words are */ within “invisible”-signs in programmingcode, how do one say it?

I use them all the time in my own language, but now i need to know what they sound like in english.

With kind regards
Veronika D.

I also agree with these.

Hello, Jordan, Xav and tossy!
Hope you read this, cause it is a thankyou- letter for your answers.
Its really helpfull for me, so Im grateful, didnt have time to thankyou last week.
Now im going to get down to the more tricky questions:
How does one say [ and ] , what are these square brackets called in english?
Does a value within [ 10] has any particular title?


Read the line under this, it is in C:

Print (“ % s % c”, *++ argv, (argc > 1) ? ‘ ‘ : ‘\n ‘);
How do one say it in words?
Look close on the ? and : signs. I know that in java that is used as a conditional operator like this:
if (total >max)
total = total + 1;
else
total = total * 2;
does it do the same in C, it is also called conditional operator ?


Look at this line below:
typedef int* PINT
What is it called when * is a pointer and not just a mathematical sign?
How do one say: char *argv[ ] ;
in english?


How do one say: { and } in english?

With kind regards
Most definitely girl
