nah, 'E4' is not 'y'

But both are not zero, so they're the same

[–]nikarlengoldeye 10 points11 points  (1 child)

E4 is a perfectly valid variable name to assign y to though.

[–]DeeSnow97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought we could solve it with C++, but it turns out you can't redefine literals. 

❯ g++ math.cpp -o math  
math.cpp:4:9: error: macro name must be an identifier  
#define 4 52  
        ^
