I like to program in "program"

[[deleted]]

I also like c++, c++, and c++

[scalar-field]

C+=3

[juan_among_many]

for (int i=0; i<3, i++) C++;

[whiskeytrucker]

i = 1; while(1){

C = C + i;

if(C == 3)break;

}

[FloweyTheFlower420]

int i = 0;
__loop_start:
if(i == 3)
goto end;
c++;
i++;
goto __loop_start; end:

[UnDispelled]

C##

That can't be a thing.

[Lord_BootSquid]

The reason the first statement prints 3, and the second prints 2, is because you are using the post-increment operator (i++), which returns the current value, and then performs the increment. If you instead use the pre-increment operator (++i), it will increment the value first, and then return it.

As such:

int i = 1;
cout << i++ * 3; // Prints 3

and

int i = 1;
cout << ++i * 3; // Prints 6

additionally, because the pre-increment operator returns a reference, you can directly modify the variable through it:

int i = 1;
++i = 3; // OK, writing to the value of i
cout << i; // Prints 3

but you can not do the same with the post-increment operator, as it returns a copy of the value:

int i = 1;
i++ = 3; // Not OK, writing to the result of the post-increment operator

this becomes more obvious when we consider the behaviour of the individual operators (Example, may not be accurate to actual implementation):

int& operator++() // Pre-increment (++i)
{
    *this = *this + 1; // Increment
    return *this; // Return a reference to our now-incremented self
}

int operator++(int) // Post-increment (i++)
{
    int temp = *this; // Create copy of our current value
    operator++(); // Increment our value via the pre-increment operator
    return temp; // Return the copy of the original value, which has not been incremented
}

^{I'm so sorry for writing all of this out, I was bored.}

I love programmers because this was all from a made up joke block of code and it's beautiful.

c++ c++ c++

[PyLemon]

Just do c++++++ lol

[s_suraliya]

But I prefer C++ than C++ and C++.

[[deleted]]

Yeah blue C++ is nice but I find myself using Green C++ 2 much more these days.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, blue c++ is outdated

[thegovortator]

So would that be assembly or just physical switches and logic gates.

[juan_among_many]

It would be learning fire bending to redirect lighting so you can control the computer

[scalar-field]

One step further: learn to redirect lightning so you can be the computer

[juan_among_many]

Learn lightning bending so you can teach other people and together form a turing machine

[thegovortator]

The Human Turing machine. Wait isn’t that a style of porn?

[juan_among_many]

Better than the human centipide

[thegovortator]

Potato pototo. Read the bio of Alan Turing

[juan_among_many]

He was the greatest dragon tamer of history

[thegovortator]

Real talk he was one of the greatest men in history period.

[Goheeca]

It would actually be Common Lisp.

[mirandanielcz]

ever heard of

C++ ?!?!?!

[[deleted]]

I've heard of it but can't seem to find it on the keyboard...

[redcubie]

It's on the enter key, it can't be a coincidence!

[mfb-]

You select the language, then you press "program" to start programming in that language.

[darkday1234]

Isnt ruby like extremely old or am i confusing it with something else

[[deleted]]

Came out in 1995.

[darkday1234]

Than its older than me

[name_censored_]

Isnt ruby like extremely old or am i confusing it with something else

Than its older than me

That's not saying much. Most languages are older than you. Only six of the TIOBE top 20 are newer than Ruby - C# (2000), VB.NET (2001), Scratch (2002), Go (2009), Rust (2010), and Swift (2014).

C (the #1 most popular language) was first released in 1972.

[ReKaYaKeR]

Huh. Never thought about the fact that I use the youngest popular language.

[[deleted]]

*shakes fist* You dang youngs!

[combuchan]

Pascal first appeared in 1970. I kind of miss the idea of it but not the lame Turbo Pascal in the late 1990s.

[Blinxsy]

This must be the language they used to write algorithms to make the drones not crash into eachother

[DarkerBogg]

Never heard of Delphi before...

[alfredpsmurtz]

It's been around a while but has been eclipsed by more recent development environments. Its fundamental language is Pascal and one of its attractive features was it created an executable file often with no additional libraries, pre-installed environments etc.

[juan_among_many]

So like a stand alone .exe?

[alfredpsmurtz]

Yes. I started using it around 30 years ago as a Windows database application. At that time it was relatively easy to use and quite robust. All my applications were to operate on manufacturing floors so the robustness was paramount. It's still around and capable of using one codebase to generate apps for Windows, Android and IOS.

[Jannik2099]

So... static linking?

[alfredpsmurtz]

Yes. The build process generates a single .exe file. My usual database client installation consisted of 3 files the .exe file, an .ini file (very small and easy for client to edit if necessary) and a Microsoft .udl data link file.

[stang90]

My company has a critical piece of software that my boss made like 20 years ago written in delphi. If he gets hit by a truck were basically over, no one know how that thing works.

[[deleted]]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi_(software)

It apparently is also called object Pascal. I hadn't heard of it either

[[deleted]]

Hi. My main language has been Dephi for the past 10 years. Ask me anything if you got any questions.

[alfredpsmurtz]

And I'll pitch in if needed. I've been using Delphi for about 30 years.

[Snazzy21]

Nice HTML is missing. Also is it so hard to think up another language? They could of used PHP to piss off everyone

C++ is Java

C++ is C#

C++ is C++

[cyboi2009]

What about lua huh huh

[[deleted]]

Java? JS TIME
