What is the signature program?
Signature program in computer programming is a short block of uncompiled source code that is connected to the end of e -mail or other communication. Signature in electronic communication is a block of text that is automatically connected to outgoing messages, sometimes to identify the user. If the code block is included in this area, it is known as the signature program. Most signature programs perform trivial functions that perform data or information surprisingly for the brevity of the actual code. The limitation means that the signature program is not compiled, which requires that the curious viewer to compile them to see the results - a task that requires some knowledge of programming - which means that most signature programs are perceived mainly by those within the programming community. Instead of looking like a normal computer programming code, it is often written in a very non -standard short -range use of functions, operators and language functions that are often not seen. The reason is to make it difficult to read code, tThe output of the program is not obvious, although it can also be done to make a look that is somehow unique. The name for the code that has been written is intentionally difficult to read is a confused code.
A common output for the signature program could be the name of the person who wrote the code or name of the person who sent the message to which it is connected. Graphic or text representations of mathematical formulas and recursive operations are also popular. Although almost any output is possible, the source code is usually maintained for less than four lines, the traditional maximum length of the signature file.
The actual formatting of the source code may be part of the signature program in indicating the output that could be made. This can sometimes be done by arranging the source code to create an image related to the output or using letters and symbols in the code to announce words. This is possible because most koProgramming mpm ignores more spaces and breaking of lines, instead of looking at the actual characters in the code line.
One other method that is used to influence length, functioning and sometimes the appearance of the code in the signature program is the use of macro. Makra is a way to assign a piece of valid computer code to a shorter or alternative sequence of characters or symbols. When the macro is later placed in the source code, it is replaced by a compiler with a code it represents. This cannot just shorten the signature program, but using misleading names or which includes another macros, the program can be incredibly difficult to read.
