How do Japanese program?

JackOfAllTrades · 2010-10-24T19:41:49

I've been wondering how exactly Japanese and other nationalities program a language like C++ when it's using English characters? Or for that matter how exactly does the internet work for them? I'm guessing that they have their own version of the internet over their but I can't see how they could make entirely different versions of programming languages with completely different syntax for each language...

// deutsch.hh - internal use only#ifndef DEUTSCH_HH_INCLUDED#define DEUTSCH_HH_INCLUDED#define fuer        for#define falls       if#define andernfalls else#define solange     while#define tu          do#define haupt       main#define ganz        int#define natur       unsigned int#define gleit       float#define zeichen     char#define zurueck     return #define caus        cout#define cein        cin#define cfehl       cerr#endif // DEUTSCH_HH_INCLUDED

that's so nasty.

I've studied french, portuguese and I aquired a whole bunch of latin-american/caribbean (including creyol) slang. English, is by far, the most easy language in the world.

Köstlich! I'm going to integrate that into our codebase at once! :)

My hearing is pretty bad. Whenever I'm in Germany, it sounds like everyone is speaking American English around me, except that I can't understand it.

When I hear poles, I know it's Polish. When I hear Germans, my first thought is "why the hell can't I understand this person- oh I'm in Germany".

The way Americans from the north talk is heavily influenced by German and Norse accents.

That's funny. Sometimes when watching TV or so, and when I can't hear them clearly, and when I don't see whether it is subtitled brabble at the moment, I often can't decide whether they are talking german or english.

My friend canceled, so I won't be able to take a closer look at her textbook until Friday.

Her textbook is Engineering Problem Solving with C (3rd Edition) by Delores M. Etter, professor at the US Naval Academy, Prentice Hall; 3 edition (July 17, 2004). Amazon Price $95.26 [Paperback]. Wow! What a rip off. The book is barely worth half of that, imo. The explanatory text uses different fonts to indicate language keywords (as expected). As an intro to C it's not that good, imo, but I suppose as an intro to applied C it's ok.

Seriously, English is shorter and easier for programming. In some languages, you'll have to write twice long names for each of your variables.

public static IConsumerProducerDispatcherFactoryFactory createConsumerProducerDispatcherFactoryFactory(IConsumerProducerDispatcherFactoryParameterDelegate paramters) throws ConsumerProducerDispatcherFactoryException;

Indeed...

And yes, this is what enterprise-grade code looks like.

It's like Hungarian notation, but instead of prepending the puny c or s, it's composed of patterns.

This is also why 80-character line length limit was one of first things to be obsoleted by Java. Fortunately, there's widescreen monitors.

Even this forum breaks down in horror.
