Who can tell me what this program does?

According to my calculations, the C-Interfal one, when compiled, states that it hates Hispanic people.

Pinback was right.

The Brainfuck example works (although you shoulda put a linefeed on there, I think), but the INTERCAL version gives me

Code: Select all

Did we ever get confirmation on this? Was Johnny right? Johnny's right about a lot of things, so this does not surprise me.

I work on Oracle Portal these days. At the old job (the Assembly job) we'd get word that a particular CPU failed by doing such and such. We then had to write assembly, in as few lines as possible, that showed the error. They then sent the code and the chip off elsewhere for further investigation. It was really cool work, I wish I had a chance to do it longer.

And ya, usually languages are what is constantly reinforced; does the effort with a commercial project allow/encourage optimization, especially with taking the time to fine tune asm code?

You know what, in most places I've seen the VP of the project just wants stuff to "work" as quickly as possible, like for a demo or something, and then you optimize stuff later.

There's a story a guy told me (not at a company I worked for) of a developer who wrote a shell script to handle database records. Worked pretty good. Worked too well. He puts a for loop (or equivalent) to pause the thing for several minutes throughout the program. He says to his boss, "Well, it works... but I think I can make it run faster!" And for the next four months he does nothing but the variable he himself put in for the pause. That's software "engineering" for you.

Well, they're both pretty much like "Hello, world!" except they print something else. Go grab an interpreter or compiler, as appropriate, and find out!

In terms of what I used to do in Assembly, or what I think the program does?

Jonsey; graphics, database, driver, programming?

by **Lysander** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 2:14 am

I would assume that it prints "Hello world!" to the screen? What am I missing?

That does something different than my programs.

And seeing how I have now seemingly lost the ability to read this in MY MIND, it's clear I need to revisit Assembly, because I was quite good at it at one time. DAYUM, another thing to add to the endless list of things to do. I'll place this one towards the end.

The first example is Brainfuck. The second example is INTERCAL. And I don't know what either one does.
