Comparative linguistics

Python and C

l : int = len(columnTitle)
    for i in range(l):
        print(type(columnTitle[i]))

so in python you can not get char but need ord(str) / chr(int)

Chinese language and English language

Tone: Pitch in word

Intonation: Pitch in sentences

The faster the vocal cords vibrate, the higher the frequency, and the higher the perceived pitch. This frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). For example, a 100 Hz sound is perceived as lower than a 200 Hz sound.

Statement Falling (⬇) The "Closed Channel" To inform, declare, or state something as a fact. Signals completion.
Yes/No Question Rising (⬆) The "Open Channel" To inquire, express uncertainty, and invite a response.

"Wh-" Question Falling (⬇) The "Closed Channel" / Information Demand To demand a specific piece of information to resolve the question.
Exclamation Wide Range (e.g., ↗⬇) The "Emotional Salience" To express strong emotion, such as surprise, awe, or shock.

Statement:
Tā shì yīshēng.
Wǒ jīntiān hěn máng.
Yes/No Question:
Tā shì yīshēng ma? 吗
"Wh-" Question:
Nǐ jiào shénme míngzì?
Question:
Nǐ shì xuésheng?
Exclamations:

Express reservation, hesitation, or contradiction.

Actually Chinese language strictly follow the tone.
Usually, an English never speaks the real Chinese language. Because they don't see the Tone, at all.
But on the other hand, Chinese also don't not see the Intonation, but somehow Intonation is not such important like the Tone.
