Programming-Related Words of Equal Length

This page contains groups of related words that are all the same length and related to one another in some way. This unusual fascination with related words of equal length originated as a result of computer programming. While developing software, I often need to name variables, functions, and other elements in a way that reflect the concepts I am working with. Occasionally, I end up choosing names for related elements that are the same length, which becomes visually striking when these names align neatly in the text editor.

Each group of words is presented in monospaced font so that the equal length of the words in each group is visually evident. Blank spaces separate the groups. The groups are sorted alphabetically according to the first word in each group. The words in each group are sorted alphabetically too.
