An ooc quine
👋 This page was last updated ~13 years ago. Just so you know.
While preparing my next post about ooc documentation yet again, I stumbled upon an old ooc quine of mine. Here it is in integrality for your pleasure:
q := 34 as Char
l := [
"q := 34 as Char"
"l := ["
"]"
"for (i in 0..2) {"
" l[i] println()"
"}"
"for (i in 0..12) {"
" q print(); l[i] print(); q println()"
"}"
"for (i in 2..12) {"
" l[i] println()"
"}"
]
for (i in 0..2) {
l[i] println()
}
for (i in 0..12) {
q print(); l[i] print(); q println()
}
for (i in 2..12) {
l[i] println()
}
It is very much inspired from the Wikipedia examples for a quine.
Can you find a shorter one?
Did you know I also make videos? Check them out on YouTube!
Here's another article just for you:
Rust generics vs Java generics
In my previous article, I said I needed to stop thinking of Rust generics as Java generics, because in Rust, generic types are erased.
Someone gently pointed out that they are also erased in Java, the difference was elsewhere. And so, let’s learn the difference together.
Java generics
I learned Java first (a long, long time ago), and their approach to generics made sense to me at the time.
