::If I understand them correctly, at least the following examples do not specify any variable where the data is read: C, C++, Clojure, Delphi/Pascal, E, Eiffel, Euphoria, Factor, Icon, Java, Joy, Lua, Mathematica, MATLAB / Octave, Perl, etc.
::Maybe some languages do not use variables. For example Forth stores the data in stack I guess. Anyway, the purpose of reading an environment variable is that you do something with it, for example check if it has a specific value. --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]] 16:40, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
:::I guess it is a simple task and their interpretations fit. I see your point too and maybe the task should have been enhanced from the outset, but it is too late for a change now.
:::I queried your question as I thought you might be referring to "shelling out" when running on Unix toouse the shell to print an environment variable. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 20:46, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
