In the following notes (some more than others), the following coloring/style conventions are used:

• Parts of the Language:
  • keywords — identifiers built into the language itself
  • library symbols — identifiers defined in one of the standard libraries
  • pre-processor commands — commands which bring in those standard libraries we need to use
  • operators — symbols used like standard mathematical operators
  • syntax — symbols which are just present to denote/demark/delimit a portion of code in some way
  • programmer defined — identifiers that you or some other programmer may well have defined
  • data — things the user, yourself, or some other programmer might have supplied as data
  • comments — programmer commentary on what source code does — as opposed to what it physically is doing
  • keyboard keys — discussion of keys you might [need to] press on the keyboard...
    (also used for names of programs you need to execute or special items like operating systems)
• Code Samples:
  • good code samples
  • okay code samples that could stand some improvement
  • BAD code samples — do NOT use!!!
  • code samples which are so absolutely horrid they could turn your skin into a purple and green polka-dotted leather if used
• Sample 'Executions' [of Code]:
  • example execution of code
  • information being typed by a user (not printed by the program itself)
  • used input buffer characters in subsequent discussions of the input buffer
  • samples of patterns that lead to code discovery
  • sample calculations that lead to code/algorithm comprehension
