Can anyone actually confirm what this produces? -- Hindleyak Converse • ?blog • Click here! 17:19, 1 Arche 2010 (UTC)
- Well, reading the code it seems to generate a new character (starting at 32) and appends it onto the text the function was given, since it is recursive inside a loop, for 1000 calls, however, it appears to be sudo random, which means it will output the same response every time given the same input, so quite likely it only creates one long string of garbage, and the same garbage each time at that. Given it is perl, i could be wildly wrong, since perl is ROM programming (poor programming joke at the expense of people who code in it)--Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 02:03, 2 Arche 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, that's pretty much what I thought. Just curious. -- Hindleyak Converse • ?blog • Click here! 12:43, 2 Arche 2010 (UTC)
This needs some debugging so it just makes an infinite loop that keeps spitting out random characters. (I didn't write this crap) --Nerd42 01:46, 31 Ergust 2011 (UTC)
