Funny code

[MyrrhLynn]

I'm sure all you computer geeks have come across "fake code" that would never really work but is changed to be funny. So share with us! (I think there is a technical word for this like Codglish or something but I can't think of it.)

Here is mine that a friend made for me when I didn't want to do my Java homework:

if(myJavaAssignment.getHoursRemainingUntilDue() > 12)
{
student.setSlacking(true);
}

Trying my hand at some quick Visual Basic:

Code: Select all

Sub Redundant()

Call Repetitive()

End Sub


Sub Repetitive()

Call Redundant()

End Sub

(How long until we get a stack overflow here? ^_~ )

10 print "I'm an idiot"
20 print "/me smacks himself with a hammer"
30 goto 10

and it works.

I have a friend who writes poetry in perl (I'm not making this up) and it's actually pretty good stuff. It was published to the clpm group by Larry one april fools day.

edit: btw, this code works in all versions of perl up to 5.8 (I think).

Code: Select all

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 
 APPEAL:
 
 listen (please, please);
 
 open yourself, wide;
     join (you, me),
 connect (us,together),
 
 tell me.
 
 do something if distressed;
 
     @dawn, dance;
     @evening, sing;
     read (books,$poems,stories) until peaceful;
     study if able;
 
     write me if-you-please;
 
 sort your feelings, reset goals, seek (friends, family, anyone);
 
         do*not*die (like this)
         if sin abounds;
 
 keys (hidden), open (locks, doors), tell secrets;
 do not, I-beg-you, close them, yet.
 
                             accept (yourself, changes),
                             bind (grief, despair);
 
 require truth, goodness if-you-will, each moment;
 
 select (always), length(of-days)
 
 # listen (a perl poem)

Wow, that's quite amazing, lol!

What does it do when it's actually run?

[Mithrandir]

Sorry. By 'works' I mean it does not generate any error messages. Feel free to try and run it if you like. On a linux box, save it, chmod 700 it, and ./ it.

The execution of the code is left as an excersise for the reader... Can you tell I work in education?

This is just an idea... I'm not too sure quite how to put it best. So I'll do it in QBASIC, the one language I'm actually proficient in:

PRINT "No monitor detected."

[TheMelodyMaker]

I see that that's along the same line as "No keyboard detected; press any key to continue." Or "If you're having trouble with your internet connection, please visit our website for help."

I bought I CD drive one time. The packaging says, "Great to replace your current drive."

The drivers were on a CD-Rom.

Oh... man. I'd definitely believe it.

Since Myrrh originally posted in Java, here's one allegedly seen at JavaOne:

if(you.CanRead(this)) you.CanGet(new Job(!problem))

[Mithrandir]

Actually, shoo, I saw that one when I did a stint there. At the time, I thought it was part of an add campaign. It may have just been some clever programmers, however...
