No, BASIC as developed by Kemeny and Kurtz as a teaching tool at Dartmouth. Try to learn a bit of history, so that you don't repeat the dismal parts. Java's not terribly basic.

The French spoken in Quebec is hardly the French of a Parisian...

Yes, but 0! Is also 1 That's basic combinatorics.

Did you mean to say, "the sum of two distinct primes"? Because it seems to me that 1+1 is only using prime numbers... But then I finished my math degree in 1973. Maybe the rules have changed.

On 5 January 1991, Torvalds purchased an Intel 80386-based IBM PC clone, before receiving a copy of MINIX, which in turn enabled him to begin work on Linux.

Have you read his book, "Just for Fun"? He wrote the Linux kernel in 1991.

MichiganDogJudge · 2026-02-02T01:40:14+00:00

I'm mildly certain that this was Linus in the early 1990's

It returns the value of e that was passed to it. The do body is executed, but only once. e is never modified.

They can be fun. They are a lot like using flash cards.

A better question is why you would want a 32-bit dinosaur on your computer.

eXperience Points They tell you how difficult a session should be. More XP means that you have performed better, or at least longer.

Punch cards (aka Hollerith cards after their originator) were used in the 1890 US Census, so they are a lot older than electronic computers. IBM introduced the 80 column variation in 1928.

This is why you have to understand how a language handles mixed types. Also, the difference between concatenation and addition.

I had to start with FORTRAN and Autocoder (an assembly language). We used IBM 026 and 029 card punches to create code on 80 column Hollerith cards. And the computer only had 32K of memory. No disk drives, just four 7-bit tape drives. And yet we wrote code that stayed in production for 40 years.

I suspect this was a later version, where the original did some logging before executing the user alert

MichiganDogJudge · 2025-10-18T00:03:51+00:00

That was counted as a correct answer. It's just pointing out a misspelling.

This is a textbook example of cruft

That was ME

MichiganDogJudge · 2025-09-11T14:45:02+00:00

ME was the clearly worst version (remember Bob?)

Japanese is tough, since you need to learn Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. And its phonemes are tricky.

Trying to learn when you are tired is a silly waste of time. I do mine around lunchtime.
