How a Programmer with broken English types code
-
Here is what s programmer who often speaks bad or broken English would type when programming. The code he would add is something like:
var mike
If (mike =jerk) Than
mike=0
end
var less_then
if (joe = less_then ) than
joe=100
end
joe.status = definatelyThen the log reads:
Compiler error: Unknown keyword "Than"
Compiler error: Illegal variable name "less_then"
Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately" -

Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately"Um. I don't really get your point. Yes, that's rubbish code. No, it won't compile in any sensible language. Even English. But quite why you posted it here I have no idea.

Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately"Maybe take it to "Weird and Wonderful" ? It does point out why computer languages should not be based on natural language.

Looks trollish to me.

the compiler is the best friend of the programmer :rolleyes:

Nah ... the compiler is a mate (a good mate, but not besties) - the debugger is his best friend!

In many popular programming languages that
ifstatement will always resolve as true and you will be mutating mike to be a jerk. So in effect, generalising for many popular programming languages, mike is always a jerk based on the code above.“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately"Is this a commentary against IDEs not picking up the mistakes before compilation? Or about developers who simply don't have the skills to code being offered jobs, without adequate on the job training, making life hard for others in the team? Or are you simply bashing the 80% of the Earth's population that don't speak English?

Pfft, no. The debugger is more like a programmer's mother-in-law.

I think he's bashing the people who do speak English, but never paid attention in school.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Still better than

Don't you speak in your mind when writing code? If this happens then do this, but you type out c#. If your English was not very good, you're c# would also not compile.

I think the whole point was to get to the (highlighted) punch line: Compiler error: Unknown keyword "Than" Compiler error: Illegal variable name "less_then" Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately" To give whomever it is a break, I'd say it must have seemed funnier when he/she thought of it when it actually turned out.

Maybe take it to "Weird and Wonderful" ? It does point out why computer languages should not be based on natural language.
Better yet... Start a "Weird and Not So Wonderful"
Remember, no matter where you go... there you are.
