Matrix joke for programmers

[BouncyCaitian]

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
//TheMatrix.cpp

#include "TheMatrix.h"

int i; // NumberofMatrices
int j; // HumansWhoRejectMatrix
i = 1;

InitializeMatrix(i); //i = # of nested matrices

j = GetHumansWhoRejectMatrix();

while j != 0
{
i++;
InitializeMatrix(i);
j = GetHumansWhoRejectMatrix();
}


And what language is this in?

[Aldaron]

Neo++ ?

[C5]

AAArgghh!!! Nooo!!! Not C++ again!!! I spend my days and parts of my nights battling with C++ code!!! Noooooo!!!!!!



(the "TheMatrix.cpp" was a dead giveaway )

[Aldaron]

It could be worse...


' TheMatrix.vbp

Option Explicit

Private Sub cmdEnterTheMatrix_Click()

Dim i As Integer ' Number of Matrices
Dim j As Integer ' Humas Who Reject Matrix

i = 1

Call InitializeMatrix(i) ' i = # of new matrices

j = GetHumansWhoRejectMatrix()

Do While j <> 0
i = i + 1
Call InitializeMatrix(i)
j = GetHumansWhoRejectMatrix()
Loop

End Sub


No, I am not going to try and write the InitializeMatrix() and GetHumansWhoRejectMatrix() functions and subroutines!!!

Well, technically this is straight up C -- there are no C++ only features. However, most compilers use a .CPP as a clue that they should permit any C++ construction, as opposed to limiting the input to what C allows.

I know, I know, too much information...


//TheMatrix.cpp

#include "TheMatrix.h"

int i; // NumberofMatrices
int j; // HumansWhoRejectMatrix

i = 1;

try
{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Initialize(i); //i = # of nested matrices

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;while (GetHumansWhoRejectMatrix().Count() > 0)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i+ +;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In itialize(i);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
}
catch (NeoAppears& na)
{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AgentSmith* as = new AgentSmith();
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as.Locate(na);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as.Terminate(na);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;delete as;
}
catch (RootError& e)
{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Handle(e);
}

Wusses.

Write it in Scheme or Cobol (or Jovial!) and I'll be impressed.

Cobol????? PULEEEEZE

The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense-E. W. Dijkstra

Wow! One of the guys who remembers Jovial! I wonder who the other one is?

Ack!!! There's a project manager in here!!!!

Mind you, the real challenge would be to write the code in ASN 1....

Aldaron, you've either got a couple of stuck bits, or the top two can be normalized out, since they never change! Hey, *every byte* counts! (Shudderingly remembering his days with embedded systems ... so long ago ... so terribly, terribly long ago ...)

You could well be right...I avoid machine-code like the plague - hell, I avoid Assembly like the plague.

I just plonked in a pile of ASCII...that's all it is...

Oh no, I'm nowhere near a project manager. I'm merely a software architect. Or at least, that's what they keep telling me.

If you provide me with the specifications I could try to run it through my ASN.1 compiler and see what it gives ... I reckon PER would be about right for a Matrix encoding .

Errrm ... lessee ... (/me opens his ASN.1 Dubuisson guru book)

[Calcoran]

Uh ... then again, maybe not. Writing ASN.1 specs is pain enough for work, I won't try it for fun .
