I found a joke about pirates and C programming (which I though was funny

Q: How does a pirate pass parameters to a C program?
A: With "arrrrgv" and "arrrrgc".

For those who are not familiar with the C programming language:
The arguments which were passed to the application when it was invoked are accessible inside the program via two variables, typically named argc for ARGumnetCount and argv for ARGumentValues.

I thought all pirates learned programming from "Sea++ for beginners" from the voodoo library....

And here is a pirate's keyboard

I never was able to learn the whole thing on my own... but that was funny.

No no, Guybrush had his first programming lesson right before he fell into the quicksand in CMI.

What, "That makes...syrup of ipecac. It seems logical."

How does that count as a programming lesson?

Python

Yes its bad, but I love bad jokes!

I feel the urge to add another frighteningly bad C/adventure game joke. It works best in German, so I'm going to spare the English speaking folks for now.

Warum sind nicht-Adventure-Spiele wie die Programmiersprache C?
In beidem gibt's Null Zeiger.

And I suppose he would never have sorted out all the idols in Tales without a rather ingenious use of Perl (on a stick)

Aber es gibt Null Zeiger fuer alle die Programmiersprachen! Wie ist das lustig?

tbm1986 · 08/13/2009, 02:54 pm

Ich weiss, dass mein Deutsch scheisse ist. Also, ich muss Englisch zurueck.

Ich werde meine Jacke bekommen...

hansschmucker · 08/13/2009, 02:55 pm

Bei Zeigern denken die meisten Leute immer noch an C, weil sie da breitere Verwendung finden wie in jeder anderen Sprache (und vor allen Dingen komplexere). Aber hauptsächlich hab' ich C genannt, weil dieses Thread mit C begonnen hat.

P.S. Dein Deutsch ist gar nicht so schlecht.
