RimuFalsehoods programmers believe about languages
MyNameIsRichardEvery language has words for yes and no.
Assuming yes and no means true and false, c has numbers (1, 0) for yes and no and c++ can use those numbers for yes and no because it is a superset of c.
hddsxTechnically, 0 is true and 1 is false. !0 is 1, though, IIRC
That’s what I meant so I’ve edited my comment to hopefully make that a bit clearer. You’ll have to forgive my lack of clarity. It’s 03:02 and I’ve had about 2 hours sleep tonight and won’t be getting any more. Time for a coffee.
As far as C goes, 1 is true and 0 is false.
In terms of POSIX exit codes, 0 is success and 1 is error.
True is anything other than zero in C.
I think more specifically for C, 0 is false and anything nonzero is true. Idk about NaN/inf.
Confidently incorrect.
Jesus. I mistyped that horrendously to make a point about !0
I read my comment just now waking up and went wtf
NostraDavidUntil you use exit codes, which flips the logic.
The article is not about programming languages 🫠
Björn Lindström@PumaStoleMyBluff @MyNameIsRichard anyway let's do programming languages. Most don't have either. Shell has yes but not no, while Prolog has both yes and no, but just as results, not as values.
