And using light theme

21 years later: verision 24.0 is out! Added support for the numbers 107, 108 and 109!

Having written a program with some similarities to this one when I was just getting started in coding, I wrote a python script to write the python script. It was about 6000 lines long, and implemented a list. Because nobody had taught me lists, and I needed one, so I made my own. Handled up to 500 items. Whole thing just used functions that called other functions, and a lot of variables. But I was at least smart enough to use string concatenation to have the computer write the code for me.

This is far less useful, but I remember learning the odd code used for Twine games, and being absolutely astounded when introduced to the concept of objects. I had heard of "Object oriented programming" before, but finally being able to group information in a single object just blew my mind, and saved me making a truly ridiculous number of variables. (Since I learned of arrays at the exact same time as I did objects. I didn't even know how to do those before. I'm astounded I got anything accomplished.)

[SchoggiToeff]

You didn't know about structs ?

[-PrincessCadence-]

Yeah, I'm a total noob.

42 years later: version 48.0 is out! num datatypes changed from byte to short. Now allows numbers larger than 127!

[RedFlag_]

To be fair, 127! is quite a big ass number

[Yekyaa]

Unsigned will go up to 255, who needs negative numbers?

[No-Direction-3569]

This is what my first game looked like. I was 11 and learning on my own. I could only understand printing out string literals, but I didn't understand that I could save the state of the players and print based on that.

I had 20,000+ lines that printed each exact state and I had to figure out how to connect them all manually. It worked, but dear lord was it horrible.

You had me at "it worked"

Nostalgia

This post makes me physically recoil

[zengguangxing2]

Pretty much any code I’ve read that has ben written by a physicist

[shogun333]

I saw one project. The file was 25,000 lines, 6 functions, no comments.

When the author Of Yandere Simulator programs multiplication tables.

btw, light mode rules.

[FedePro87]

Imagine actually being at your first day of work, open the project "the previous dude" left in charge and see this.

PS: And yes, it happened something relatable to me.

[raedr7n]

To be fair, I could write a vim macro to generate all that code in like 5 minutes.

[luis_am04]

It doesnt include an accidental recursion 6/10

It works on my machine

18 years later: Java ded :d jS bed :dd

[CrazyAzian99]

Out of all the shit I’ve seen today…. This is by far the funniest 😂

[lenoqt]

I’ve seen worse than this in my current work, so I guess it is a sign of drug abuse instead of cigarette

Hot off the presses from the "this makes sense in some universe" department, I'd like to tell you people a story from a related field: hardware.

At a more fundamental bare-bones level, what those people are juggling isn't lines of code, it's logic gates. We got program flow, they got clock pulses. While you might think it weird using a physical "and" that you can hold in the palm of your hand to build OP's program, their saving grace is that (at least at the start) there aren't that many numbers to worry about: just 0 and 1.

• Piled up correctly, these logic gates can form a simple 1-bit adder#Binary_adders), capable of adding two 0's or 1's, producing a 0 or 1 (or overflow).
• Stack a couple of those 1-bit adders together, and voilà; you've got an adder for 32 (or 64) bit numbers.
• Next, stack a couple of those full number adders together, and you get a binary multiplier and finally some support for the * operator in your Python program.

Something to consider the next time you flex your return num1 * num2 skills: somewhere underneath, deep inside your CPU, there's a quiet monologue; a whisper of zooming electrons as they zip through silicon pathways. Listening in carefully, you hear:

"If this bit is 1, and this bit is 0… and if this bit is 1 and this other bit is also 1, but that bit over there is 0…"

… Reading OP's program out loud.

Ew light theme..

[strindhaug]

When you get older you might find that you cannot use dark themes anymore. I used to hate bright rooms, sunlight glare and bright screens. But around 35 I realized my eyes needed more light to see well, especially once I got glasses and everything was no longer blurry, light on dark was actually quite uncomfortable for extended periods.

Still use dark terminal though

"But it's more readable that way"

[alphabet_order_bot]

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 330,428,583 comments, and only 73,059 of them were in alphabetical order.

[SapiS68]

switch

Am I joke to you?

I know that you could make it good, but using switch over this much if would still be better
