ALGOL?

It's the ALGOrithmic Language from 1958... except the version I use here is from 1960... It was the ancestor to most modern programming languages, and it was the first to implement the block statement. In this video, I write a couple programs with it.

Dug around in the manual. "This may be done by using the pre-declared procedure text(device,string)" Digging further reveals "2.48 ALGOL fixed stream numbers" on line 1509 0 is a dummy device, 1 is basically the DOS equivalent of stdout, 2 I didn't understand, 3 is input... I think?, 4 is the same as 1 but without Ctrl+C, 5 has something to do with punch cards, 6 has to do with external devices, 7 is buffered console input with echo, 8 sets printer column, 9 is dummy (same as dev 0), 10 is directly to memory. It also says devices 1-7 are system calls, and there are no BIOS calls, but yeah, they're basically streams

[@Truttle1]

Cool. I guess thats why 0 did nothing.

[@AWriterWandering]

It says that 2 is AUX in MSDOS. From what I can gather, AUX went to the COM port. (The port commonly used for things like mice and modems on early PCs)

Those are the "streams" he mentioned in the video. (Though the true answer is what Dylan Turner said)

Manual lists the devices: 0 is null device, 1 is CON:, 2 is AUX:, 3 is LST:, etc. Each device reacts in its own way on input vs. output calls.

[@josephcote6120]

As far as mainframe ALGOL goes, the numbers with the input and output statements are used in the same way as device numbers in FORTRAN, and are defined externally to the program in the JCL's DD statements to associate the name (the number is a name) with a physical device like a tape drive or disk file. Interactive ALGOL had to be implemented differently for small machines and each one was unique; when it was only for batch mainframe processing it was easily portable with no rewriting needed.

1 is used in the procedure section of assembly code, entered right before your string is loaded into the register. That's why the 1 is there

[@dieselguitar1440]

0! = 1, so you can actually have the factorial recursion go down one step further. It would be faster to say if x < 2 then x! = 1, but 1! = 1(0!) is more recursionny!

2:07 wouldn't this just compare if two pointers are the same (which would always be false since you're creating a new char* in the if statement lol) then again there is cout

[@kytekarthentau9417]

C++ allows for operator overloading, which std::string takes advantage of to make comparing strings quicker and less verbose. One of the overloads for std::string == takes in a string literal as its right hand, so if we assume 'red' in the code snippet holds a std::string, then "red == "sus"" is just running a string compare behind the operator, and if the strings are equal, the == operator will return 0 or true, making the code valid.

Actually, 0! is 1, not 0, despite the fact that 0*0 is 0.

[@jangamecuber]

It is that way because 3! = 3 * 2! 2! = 2 * 1! 1! = 1 * 0! To make this work, 0! = 1. 0! = 0 * -1! -1! = 0!/0 -1! = 1/0 That is why factorial is undefined for negative integers
