( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Being a non-native English speaker, all programming terminology is a foreign language in itself to me. But, OTOH, I remember all English words as a combination of images and letters. Actually, I remember words in any language that way (I also speak French and Spanish). I know that this looks like a terrible waste of storage, but when I speak I am actually recalling the word in my mind before speaking up. Therefore, since speaking code is mostly an exercise of speaking to myself, I don't go beyond the point of depicting the word in my mind, and I can't honestly say what sound I am associating to these concepts.

There are a few symbols, however, that have a special meaning to me. Long before I touched a computer, I learned to read chess games. Thus, your "#" is a checkmate to me, while "+" is check, "++" is double check, "!" is a strong move, "?" is a weak move, and "+=" means white has a slight advantage.

(See a more detailed list of symbols in chess notation.)

Now if anybody had the feeling that geeks are indeed strange fellows, this thread will reinforce such idea considerably. :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
