C Primer Plus (5th Edition)

To help you differentiate between different types of information presented in this book, we have used different text styles and layout.

• Important words and new terminology appear as Important words.

• Text written onscreen by the computer looks as follows:

  I'm your trusted computer

• Text written onscreen and typed by you looks as follows:

  Hello computer, are you there?

• While writing text onscreen special keys pressed by you, such as the enter key, are symbolized by <enter>.

• Code shown as part of code examples has the following appearance:

  private static void Main()

• The line continuation symbol is positioned at the beginning of a source code line and indicates that the preceding line of code was too long to fit the page. The previous line and the line following should be regarded as one line.
