Programming: C++ Error

Posted by Marc Backes on Wednesday, 3 December, 2008

Every programmer gets A LOT of errors in his/her life. But today, I actually had a funny error by trying something.

In out project team for a checkers game with artificial intelligence, we needed to have a variable type which can store a very big number. One guy proposed:

unsigned long long int

That works. But I thought, maybe

unsigned long long long

would be able to store even a bigger number. But then, I got a funny error message:

If you are not a programmer, you probably won’t understand this. Sorry for that ;)

Just for fun: Ted & the goat

Today, just surfing around in the Internet, I found a very funny picture of the TV show “How I Met Your Mother“. It is one of the most funniest pictures about that show. Not only because there is a goat in the living room, but just look at Ted’s (the character in the serie is called Ted Mosby, played by Josh Radnor) face expression :)

To all those of you who don’t watch yet “How I Met Your Mother”, you have to start watching it :) It’s currently the most amazing TV show running there all over the world ;)

A programmer’s best excuse to not work

Posted by Marc Backes on Sunday, 23 November, 2008

Everyone* knows this: You are programming on a big project/program and it every time takes you time to compile it and run it again. Even if you just changed one character in the code.

Well, you can use that fact as an excuse to not work… “I can’t work, my code is compiling…”

Here you go…

This joke was more funny some years ago, when the compiling took longer. Today, it’s quiet fast in small programs but still annoying ;)

*) Yeah okay, okay… not EVERYONE… But almost? :P
