That's right.
I don't understand this part.
I don't know. I've been a C programmer for almost exactly 20 years: Neither
"extern" nor function prototypes are necessary in Python.
"import" and "#include" do not have exactly the same meaning but they
accomplish more or less the same result.
What is it you're trying to do that requires these C/C++ features?
I'm looking for a future replacement for bash and I have a number of large
shell scripts that need to be translated to a language that are better at
handling
more complicated datatypes.
I'm been looking at perl and python, and I really like the strict syntax,
handling
of function parameters etc. Without include and function prototyping though,
will probably have the effect that large source files, with a lot of
function
definitions at the top, will be generated. Not god.
Perl on the other hand has it all, including very productive features as
built-in
regular expressions, file scanning etc. but I dont like all the
type-characters and
the "lose" syntax.
.. ./filename
Is the shell "include/execute" command.
