The python language has many similarities to perl, c, and java. In computer programming, indentation style is a convention or style, governing the indentation of lines of source code An indentation style generally specifies a consistent number of whitespace characters before each line of a block, so that the lines of code appear to be related, and dictates whether to use spaces or tabs as the indentation character. This is a comparison of data serialization formats, various ways to convert complex objects to sequences of bits It does not include markup languages used exclusively as document file formats. Uncontrolled format string is a type of code injection vulnerability discovered around 1989 that can be used in security exploits
[1] originally thought harmless, format string exploits can be used to crash a program or to execute harmful code The problem stems from the use of unchecked user input as the format string parameter in certain c functions that perform formatting, such as printf. A string literal or anonymous string is a literal for a string value in source code An example call to the printf function printf is a c standard library function that formats text and writes it to standard output Mismatch between the format specifiers and count and type of values results in undefined behavior and possibly program crash. When a string appears literally in source code, it is known as a string literal or an anonymous string
