10 sin, 20 go to hell

[Reply #40 on:]

I guess we can go nuts;

Code: [Select]

ba 09 01 b4 09 cd 21 eb fc 48 4f 4d 45 0a 53 57 45 45 54 0a 24Paste into your favourite hexeditor to get a 21 byte .com that does the HOME SWEET inf. loop.

Uhh, wouldn't that kinda crash the computer? And isn't crashing the computer a bad thing?

[Reply #42 on:]

No, an infinite loop is simply a program that chases it's own tail.  A crash happens when something causes an event that the computer or OS doesn't know what to do.

Now if you mean "hang" the computer, IE you see HOME SWEET HOME SWEET HOME forever, then yes it could.  Unless there is a way to interupt the program.

Now in a basic program, you can have an infinte loop....

10 print "HOME"
20 print "SWEET"
30 print "HOME"
40 goto 10

That would cause you to see HOME SWEET HOME HOME SWEET HOME ... etc.  but in basic, pressing CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK will stop the execution of the program.

Man this thread to me just look like a load of computer geeks trying to make themselves smarter than the previous with nitpicking and being pedantic.

If the joke was too complex, 1% of the population would get it. Basic is an old language that I havent seen for years anyway. I thought the joke was funny, I used Qbasic for lik 2 mins when I was 12 so many years ago, and understood the joke.

Christ, leave it be! You might enjoy the show more if you weren't too busy crying about minor technicalities.

Oh also, you guys make terrible programmers if you can't make a computer display "Home Sweet Home" without looping. In any language.

Hello World to you too....

10 IF SIN THEN 60
20 IF UNBELIVER THEN 60
30 IF BELIVER THEN 50
40 PURGATORY
50 HEAVEN
60 HELL
70 END

I'd pick that program to bits, but life's too short.

          I wonder how many people will understand that.
@1969: This used to be a thread about a minor technicality, but it's evolved into a programmming contest. It has nothing to do with anyone else getting the joke anymore. If you haven't picked up on that by now, I pity you. Oh, and I can do it in VBasic:

Private Sub HomeSweetHome()
X = 0
Label:
X = X + 1
Print "Home"
If X = 2 Then GoTo Label2
Print "Sweet"
GoTo Label
Label2:
End Sub

[Reply #48 on:]

Or there's the blindingly obvious:

10 PRINT "HOME": PRINT "SWEET": PRINT "HOME": END

[Reply #49 on:]

And in PHP

Code: [Select]

<?php
while ($counter < 3) {
  if ($proverb == "Home" ) {
    $proverb .= " Sweet ";
  } else {
    $proverb .= "Home";
  }
  $counter++;
}
print ($proverb);
?>

Yeah I know it really needs a lot of debugging; but hey it's been over 20 years since I've done anything in BASIC.

In "That's Lobstertainment" when Bender knocks on Calculon's door for a second time Calculon says something like:
"What's the matter with you? Do you have an extra GOTO 20 line or something?"
I.e. Why didn't you go to hell the first time I told you ... he he he

[Reply #52 on:]

Calculon said "Have you got an extra GOTO 10 line?". A GOTO 10 line would return a BASIC program to the beginning i.e. start it all over again, just like Bender buzzes the doorbell again after Calculon slams the door.

[Reply #53 on:]

Oh. So in fact it was an equally obsucre joke, but I didn't get it. Never mind.

Assuming that you had started your BASIC program with line 10, and not any other number 

[Reply #55 on:]

I usually start mine with line 5, because there was something important I forgot to place in line 10.

[Reply #56 on:]

Me too, but my good old Amstrad 6128 had this nifty function that could renumerate the lines in my program so it started at 10 and progressed in steps of 10. It even remembered to correct the GOTO lines.

[Reply #57 on:]

PCC Fred> holy crap, i forgot so many things i had decimalized numbers!

[Reply #58 on:]

I never got those promgramming jokes until now!  Thanks for the help, all you loveable programmers.

I've only been around these Futurama forums for a few days, but I'm learning so much!

Whatever you're doing, you all still need a life. Rest assured you can leave the pitying to me.

Done to the death.
