@devilish666 C++ (non-stupid):

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
puts(“Hello, world!”);
}

Prost! 🍻

Isn’t that how B worked?

Similarly, Perl lets you say

my $ret = do {    if (...) {        ...    } else {        ...    }};

To be fair, the C example could be detangled a lot by introducing a typedef:

typedef int Callback_t(int, int);Callback_t *(*fp)(Callback_t *, int);

Both of those declarations look weird to me. In Haskell it would be:

a :: Stringbob :: (String, Int, Double) -> [String]bob (a, b, c) = ...

… except that makes bob a function taking a tuple and it’s much more idiomatic to curry it instead:

bob :: String -> Int -> Double -> [String]bob a b c = ...-- syntactic sugar for:-- bob = \a -> \b -> \c -> ...

The [T] syntax also has a prefix form [] T, so [String] could also be written [] String.

OCaml makes the opposite choice. In OCaml, a list of strings would be written string list, and a set of lists of strings would be string list set, a list of lists of integers int list list, etc.

Because let x: y is syntactically unambiguous, but you need to know that y names a type in order to correctly parse y x. (Or at least that’s the case in C where a(b) may be a variable declaration or a function call depending on what typedefs are in scope.)

Do you know the difference between a script and a program?

A script is what you give the actors; a program is what you give the audience.

I don’t understand the complaint. What exactly is the issue?

I’ll update my mems when Microsoft decides to implement C99. (Hey, it’s only been a quarter of a century …)

Yeah, just don’t make any mistakes and you’ll be fine. Come on guys, how hard can it be?

The same is true of std::endl. std::endl is simply defined as << '\n' << std::flush; nothing more, nothing less. In all cases where endl gives you a “properly translated” newline, so does \n.

std::endl provides zero portability benefits. C++ does have a portable newline abstraction, but it is called \n, not endl.

My CGI script is a SaaS.

for (int i = INT_MIN; ; i++) {    ...    if (i == INT_MAX) break;}

@racketlauncher831 As far as the C compiler is concerned, there is literally no difference between those two notations. If you declare a function parameter as an array (of T), the C compiler automatically strips the size information (if any) and changes the type to pointer (to T).

(And if we’re talking humans, then char *args[] does not mean “follow this address to find a list of characters” because that’s the syntax for “array of pointers”, not “pointer to array”.)

@affiliate Hey, you didn’t even mention that char *args[] actually means char **args in a parameter list.
