It might help to note that dialects—and I don’t see any reason not to consider both the various kinds of ‘netspeak and the various programming languages as such, in most cases of human-to-human interaction—are almost exclusively used as methods of signaling cultural affiliation. In this case, I parsed Bogus’ use of ‘netspeak as primarily an avoidance of affiliation with formal programming culture (which tends to linger even when programs are set out in standard English, in my experience), and secondarily a way of bringing in the emotional affect of the highly-social ’netspeak culture.
It is ‘mammal stuff’, but it seems to be appropriate in this instance, to me.
Thanks. I was mostly kidding, but I appreciate the extra perspective.
(Signalling my own affiliation as a true geek, I actually attempted to download a LOLCODE interpreter and run it on the above, but the ones I could get my hands on seem to be broken. I would upvote it if I could run it, and it gave the right answer.)
Looks right to me, though I wound up reformatting the loop a little. That’s most likely a result of me being in the habit of using for loops for everything, and forgetting the proper formatting for other kinds, rather than being an actual flaw in the code—I’m willing to give bogus the benefit of the doubt about it, in any case.
Pretty much. Both you and bogus apparently forget to put an initial value into var (unless your language of choice automatically initializes them as 0).
Using while(1) with a conditional return is a little bizarre, when you can just go while(var<100).
Of course, my own draft used
if(var % 3 == 0 && var % 5 == 0)
instead of the more reasonable x%15.

Mine does, but I’m aware that it’s good coding practice to specify anyway. I was maintaining his choice.

Yep, but I don’t remember how else to signify an intrinsically infinite loop, and bogus’ code seems to use an explicit return (which I wanted to keep for accuracy’s sake) rather than checking the variable as part of the loop.
My method of choice would be for(var=0; var<100; ++var){} (using LSL format), which skips both explicitly returning and explicitly incrementing the variable.
