(not syntax)
Line 1:
Can we have an example of a language which has special syntax for empty strings, to justify the first claim in the task description? —[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 21:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
: The Perl 6 and Python examples both mentioned how empty strings are treated as boolean false, while nonempty ones are true (well in Perl if nonempty string looks like number "0" it's again treated as false, but that's more exception than rule). --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 23:30, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
::Those are ''interpretations'' or ''semantics'' of empty strings, not ''syntax for'' empty strings. —[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 00:16, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
