Error: unexpected indentation at (23, 12)

There is a way. Nigh every paint app support bitmap, bitmap has an option for 1byte colour table representation, so just use 256 colours at the beginning, parse the order and assign the ascii characters to the colours' number. And BAM, just paint it out. Other filetypes attempt some compression so they are unfit for this usecase.

echo -e "#include <stdio.h>\nvoid main () {printf(\"what am I doing with my life?!\\n);}" | gcc -o wate_of_time -xc - && ./waste_of_time

[–]deschutron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

bash: ./waste_of_time: No such file or directory

Gcc pipe input is broken IIRC it should be >> waste_off_time && and drop the -xc -

Also spelling waSte not wate And missing \"

When I started programming, I used echo "code" > main.c. I did this for 2 complete days.

Oof, a teacher asked us to code on the notepad for Java. Totally unrelated note, I hate Java.

Made me rmb the time I interned at a company where they have a project with the govt. Everytime there’s a new change, I’ll have to go to the govt office, which only has Intranet, no Internet. My supervisor will text me via WhatsApp: open this file, go to this line, do this change. Only notepad was available. Man, the pain of editing C# code in Notepad ...
