Generally, ''var'', {{var|var}}, or {{var serif|var}} is how variable names or other non-literal values to be interpreted by the reader are represented. The rest is literal code. [[Guillemet]]s ({{code|«}} and {{code|»}}) enclose optional sections. {{keypress|Tab}} indicates a necessary (whitespace) indentation.

Note that theThe tables are not sorted lexicographically ascending by programming- language name by default<!-- though this would be ideal -->, and that some programming languages have entries in some tables but not others.

* {{note|a68|a}} The ''standard'' constants {{<code|>int shorts}}</code> and {{<code|>int lengths}}</code> can be used to determine how many {{<code|>short}}</code>s and {{<code|>long}}</code>s can be usefully prefixed to {{<code|>short int}}</code> and {{<code|>long int}}</code>. The actual sizes of {{<code|>short int}}</code>, {{<code|>int}}</code>, and {{<code|>long int}}</code> are available as the constants {{<code|>short max int}}</code>, {{<code|>max int}}</code>, and {{<code|>long max int}}</code> etc.

* {{note|Java char|b}} Commonly used for characters.

* {{note|CInt|c}} The ALGOL 68, C and C++ languages do not specify the exact width of the integer types {{<code|>short}}</code>, {{<code|>int}}</code>, {{<code|>long}}</code>, and ([[C99]], [[C++11]]) {{<code|>long long}}</code>, so they are implementation-dependent. In C and C++ {{<code|>short}}</code>, {{<code|>long}}</code>, and {{<code|>long long}}</code> types are required to be at least 16, 32, and 64 bits wide, respectively, but can be more. The {{<code|>int}}</code> type is required to be at least as wide as {{<code|>short}}</code> and at most as wide as {{<code|>long}}</code>, and is typically the width of the word size on the processor of the machine (i.e. on a 32-bit machine it is often 32 bits wide; on 64-bit machines it is sometimes 64 bits wide). [[C99]] and [[C++11]]{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} also define the {{<code|>[u]intN_t}}</code> exact-width types in the [[stdint.h]] header. See [[C syntax#Integral types]] for more information. In addition the types {{<code|>size_t}}</code> and {{<code|>ptrdiff_t}}</code> are defined in relation to the address size to hold unsigned and signed integers sufficiently large to handle array indices and the difference between pointers.

* {{note|scalars|d}} Perl 5 does not have distinct types. Integers, floating point numbers, strings, etc. are all considered "scalars".

* {{note|PHP bignum|e}} PHP has two arbitrary-precision libraries. The BCMath library just uses strings as datatype. The GMP library uses an internal "resource" type.

* {{note|Kinds|f}} The value of {{<code|>n}}</code> is provided by the {{<code|>SELECTED_INT_KIND}}</code><ref name="fortranwiki.org">{{cite web|url=http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/selected_int_kind|title=selected_int_kind in Fortran Wiki|work=fortranwiki.org|access-date=30 January 2017}}</ref> intrinsic function.

* {{note|a68g|g}} [[ALGOL 68]]G's runtime option {{<code|>--precision "number"}}</code> can set precision for {{<code|>long long int}}</code>s to the required "number" significant digits. The ''standard'' constants {{<code|>long long int width}}</code> and {{<code|>long long max int}}</code> can be used to determine actual precision.

* {{note|Cobol|h}} [[COBOL]] allows the specification of a required precision and will automatically select an available type capable of representing the specified precision. "{{<code|>PIC S9999}}</code>", for example, would require a signed variable of four decimal digits precision. If specified as a binary field, this would select a 16-bit signed type on most platforms.

* {{note|Smalltalk|i}} [[Smalltalk]] automatically chooses an appropriate representation for integral numbers. Typically, two representations are present, one for integers fitting the native word size minus any tag bit ({{mono|SmallInteger}}) and one supporting arbitrary sized integers ({{mono|LargeInteger}}). Arithmetic operations support polymorphic arguments and return the result in the most appropriate compact representation.

* {{note|Ada_range|j}} [[Ada (programming language)|Ada]] range types are checked for boundary violations at run-time (as well as at compile-time for static expressions). Run-time boundary violations raise a "constraint error" exception. Ranges are not restricted to powers of two. Commonly predefined Integer subtypes are: Positive (<{{code>|range 1 .. Integer'Last</code>|ada}}) and Natural (<{{code>|range 0 .. Integer'Last</code>|ada}}). {{<code|>Short_Short_Integer}}</code> (8 bits), {{<code|>Short_Integer}}</code> (16 bits) and {{<code|>Long_Integer}}</code> (64 bits) are also commonly predefined, but not required by the Ada standard. Runtime checks can be disabled if performance is more important than integrity checks.

* {{note|Ada_modAda mod|k}} [[Ada (programming language)|Ada]] modulo types implement modulo arithmetic in all operations, i.e. no range violations are possible. Modulos are not restricted to powers of two.

* {{note|Scala char|l}} Commonly used for characters like Java's char.

* {{note|PHP 32/64 bit long|m}} {{<code|>int}}</code> in PHP has the same width as {{<code|>long}}</code> type in C has on that system.{{ref|CInt|[c]}}

* {{note|Erlang_intErlang int|n}} [[Erlang (programming language)|Erlang]] is dynamically typed. The type identifiers are usually used to specify types of record fields and the argument and return types of functions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/typespec.html|title=Erlang {{--}} Types and Function Specifications|work=erlang.org|access-date=30 January 2017}}</ref>

* {{note|Erlang_arbErlang arb|o}} When it exceeds one word.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.erlang.org/doc/efficiency_guide/advanced.html|title=Erlang {{--}} Advanced|work=erlang.org|access-date=30 January 2017}}</ref>

* {{note|variable types|b}}Types are just regular objects, so you can just assign them.

* {{note|Perl's my keyword|c}} In Perl, the "my" keyword scopes the variable into the block.

* {{note|ML ref|d}} Technically, this does not declare ''name'' to be a mutable variable—in ML, all names can only be bound once; rather, it declares ''name'' to point to a "reference" data structure, which is a simple mutable cell. The data structure can then be read and written to using the {{<code|>!}}</code> and {{code|<syntaxhighlight lang="sml" inline>:{{=}}}}</syntaxhighlight> operators, respectively.

* {{note|Ada declaration|e}} If no initial value is given, an invalid value is automatically assigned (which will trigger a run-time exception if it used before a valid value has been assigned). While this behaviour can be suppressed it is recommended in the interest of predictability. If no invalid value can be found for a type (for example in case of an unconstraint integer type), a valid, yet predictable value is chosen instead.

* {{note|Rust declaration|f}} In Rust, if no initial value is given to a {{<code|>let}}</code> or {{<code|>let mut}}</code> variable and it is never assigned to later, there is an [https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/listing/warn-by-default.html#unused-variables "unused variable" warning]. If no value is provided for a {{<code|>const}}</code> or {{<code|>static}}</code> or {{<code|>static mut}}</code> variable, there is an error. There is a [https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/listing/warn-by-default.html?#non-upper-case-globals "non-upper-case globals"] error for non-uppercase {{<code|>const}}</code> variables. After it is defined, a {{<code|>static mut}}</code> variable can only be assigned to in an {{<code|>unsafe}}</code> block or function.

* {{note|Rust args|a}} In Rust, {{<code|>std::env::args}}</code> and {{<code|>std::env::args_os}}</code> return iterators, {{<code|>std::env::Args}}</code> and {{<code|>std::env::ArgsOs}}</code> respectively. {{<code|>Args}}</code> converts each argument to a {{<code|>String}}</code> and it panics if it reaches an argument that cannot be converted to [[UTF-8]]. {{<code|>ArgsOs}}</code> returns a non-lossy representation of the raw strings from the operating system ({{<code|>std::ffi::OsString}}</code>), which can be invalid UTF-8.

* {{note|unseparated|b}} In Visual Basic, command-line arguments are not separated. Separating them requires a split function <code>Split(''string'')</code>.

* {{note|COBOL Arguments|c}} The COBOL standard includes no means to access command-line arguments, but common compiler extensions to access them include defining parameters for the main program or using {{<code|>ACCEPT}}</code> statements.
