the B programming language.

main() {
    extrn a, b, c, d;
    put2char(a,b);
    put2char(c,d);
}

put2char(x,y) {
putchar(x);
putchar(y);
}

a 'hell'; b 'o, w'; c 'orld'; d '!*n';

discuss: B programming language.

do you not need an equals sign to initialise varibles? interesting

citrons (bureaucrat) (edited ) src #1718

indeed!

also, you don't need brackets around array initializers:

beeoid[] 1, 2, 3;

also², you can assign multiple values to non-arrays:

beeoid 1, 2, 3;

the value beeoid here would be one, but the value of *(&beeoid + 1) would be 2.

also³, you don't need brackets around function bodies if they're a single statement:

add(a, b) return a + b;

Programming language

(wait i started my message with a capital letter nobody EVER does that)

citrons (bureaucrat) src #1738

I do that sometimes.

viba src #1739

Yes, but I have done it with a word that is not "I".

anyways, to ensure that it is not forgotten that this thread is about the B programming language:

B is the 2nd letter in the common english lexicon, and its the least rad letter in my sick ass diss track

B is not in the english lexicon, as lexicons are sets of words and B is not a word.
