c_close: String

Single-line comments end with this string. Most comments only need an “open” but for completeness a “single-line Comment CLOSE” is defined

last: String

Last line of a script file in this language (e.g. exit or return statement)

ext: String

File extension for scripts in this language, including the period (e.g. “.sh”)

wait: String

Syntactically correct way to wait for the user to press the ENTER key (functionality might vary by language limitations)

p_open: String

Printing information out to stdout starts with this text (e.g. “echo “)

Printing information out to stdout ends with this text
