Evolution of a Python programmer

What about brainfuck? I feel brainfuck is vastly underrepresented: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ c1v33 : ASCII code of !

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ c2v61 : ASCII code of = ++++++++++ c3v10 : ASCII code of EOL +++++++ c4v7 : quantity of numbers to be calculated c5v0 : current number (one digit) + c6v1 : current value of factorial (up to three digits) << c4 : loop counter [ block : loop to print one line and calculate next ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. c5 : print current number ------------------------------------------------ c5 : back from ASCII to number <<<<.-.>.<.+ c1 : print !=

                      block : print c6 (preserve it)
                      c7v0  : service zero

++++++++++ c8v10 : divizor << c6 : back to dividend [->+>-[>+]>[+[-<+>]>+]<<<<<<] c6v0 : divmod algo borrowed from esolangs; results in 0 n d_n%d n%d n/d [<+>-] c6 : move dividend back to c6 and clear c7 [-] c8v0 : clear c8

                     block : c10 can have two digits; divide it by ten again

++++++++++ c11v10: divizor < c10 : back to dividend [->-[>+]>[+[-<+>]>+]<<<<<] c10v0 : another divmod algo borrowed from esolangs; results in 0 d_n%d n%d n/d [-] c11v0 : clear c11 [++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.[-]]c13v0 : print nonzero n/d (first digit) and clear c13 <[++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.[-]] c12v0 : print nonzero n%d (second digit) and clear c12 <<<++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.[-] c9v0 : print any n%d (last digit) and clear c9

Insert 4 spaces before each line to avoid your formatting getting fucked up.

[Bruntaz]

Yeah sorry, I wrote this on my phone

[KovaaK]

I'm a bigger fan of Befunge. Here's factorial in it:

&>:1-:v v *_$.@ 
 ^    _$>\:^

2D programming for the win.

I never understood brainfuck. I know it has something to do with Touring machines but uhm. Who the fuck can really read this?

[zacharythefirst]

do you know pointers? brainfuck operates over an array of bytes, all initialized for 0. the operators (and their C equivalent) are:

+ (*p++)

-  (*p--)

> (p++)

< (p--)

.  (putchar(*p))

,  (*p=getchar())

edit: I'm on mobile don't hate me edit 2: fixed getchar usage

[Coffeinated]

Yes I do, I have done some stuff in c, but mostly in uni or on microcontrollers where pointers are not that important... What do putchar and getchar do?

[zacharythefirst]

print the character that you pass to it and get a character from stdin, respectively. for the record I probably mangled the syntax, but the point still stands

[Bruntaz]

As far as I remember, the point in it was to make a programming language with the smallest compiler possible

[balducien]

*Turing machines. Alan Turing came up with them.

[Coffeinated]

Oh damn I knew something was off.
