CSC Says:

Compilation error on line X

Did you mean:

var numberOfSons = ... // Put the previous number here
numberOfSons += 1;

? </joke> <seriousness> Congratulations! </seriousness>

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

[Mike Hankey]

Congrats but don't you mean self replicating code? :)

If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

[PIEBALDconsult]

Exceptional!

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Unfortunately

HoursOfSleepPerNight /=4;
NightsOut =0;

but also

PureUnadultaratedJoy *= lots;

So

Congrats +=1;

[Mycroft Holmes]

Congrats - may the little bugger bring joy to your lives because for sure he is going to remove sleep.

Did he say, "Hello World!"? :) Congratulations! :)

Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL. I'm not afraid of falling, I'm afraid of the sudden stop at the end of the fall! - Richard Andrew x64

That's not true. I have seen young parents with murder in their eyes, who then got the big biochemical pacifier from mother nature. That was when I decided that seven billions of us were enough on one planet.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
I hold an A-7 computer expert classification, Commodore. I'm well acquainted with Dr. Daystrom's theories and discoveries. The basic design of all our ship's computers are JavaScript.

I would prefer making the numberOfSons variable an unsigned integer directly (a byte is most suitable, unless you have a massive harem). Congrats :) PS: maybe you could also add

Random r = new Random(newChild.Quietness());
TimeSpan averageDailySleepTime = TimeSpan.FromHours(r.NextDouble(0d, 8d));

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who separate humankind in two distinct categories, and those who don't. "I have two hobbies: breasts." DSK

young parents

Maybe because they aren't ready to be parents yet? For me, what Maxx wrote is true, it's just that some didn't see that way because they weren't ready to embrace parenthood. Yet.

I've had that same murder in my eyes, too. Being a parent is HARD - no two ways about it. Some go in entirely unprepared, others think they are prepared. Nobody is, actually, prepared. With a big, close family, it's much MUCH easier. In my case, just the two of us, grandparents all kicking up daisy's all relatives overseas. Elephanting hard. Still it. But, somehow, the moments of pure, unadulterated joy just make up for it all. It's one of those things you have to experience - because however much you try to explain both the joy, and the tiredness, non-parents just don't understand. don't get me wrong, I don't think 'everyone should have a kid' - far from it - there should be an exam - but once you've been there, some of the crap parents have said in your past suddenly makes sense. And, when your boy is a toddler, in the public toilet, and shouts out loud enough for everyone to hear "Hey Dad, your willy's really big!" it somehow makes it all worthwhile ;)

Congratulations! :rose:

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

What about recursion?

I expected that one.:thumbsup:

Couldn't have expressed it better even if I tried. We're in the same situation here, except in our case also the grandparents are very far away.
