Ada

    “42/2 The predefined environment of the language provides for input-output and other capabilities by means of standard library packages. Input-output is supported for values of user-defined as well as of predefined types. Standard means of representing values in display form are also provided.” —:Ada-Europe’s Ada Reference Manual: Introduction: Language Summary See legal information

    “2 Finally, a predefined environment of standard packages is provided, including facilities for, among others, input-output, string manipulation, numeric elementary functions, and random number generation.” —:Ada-Europe’s Ada Reference Manual: Section 1: General See legal information

assembly language instructions

    Input/Output (I/O) instructions are used to input data from peripherals, output data to peripherals, or read/write input/output controls. Early computers used special hardware to handle I/O devices. The trend in modern computers is to map I/O devices in memory, allowing the direct use of any instruction that operates on memory for handling I/O.

MIX devices

free music player coding example

    Coding example: I am making heavily documented and explained open source code for a method to play music for free — almost any song, no subscription fees, no download costs, no advertisements, all completely legal. This is done by building a front-end to YouTube (which checks the copyright permissions for you).

    View music player in action: www.musicinpublic.com/.

    Create your own copy from the original source code/ (presented for learning programming).
