In some programming languages, a similar notation now called sigils is built into the language and enforced by the compiler. For example, in BASIC, name$ names a string and count% names an integer.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:

    Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
