What are some funny programming/mathematical jokes?

Road signs in the Republic of Ireland do not differ greatly from those used elsewhere in Europe – with the notable exception that hazard or warning signs follow the “New World” style of a yellow diamond. The symbols used on these warning signs do, nevertheless, resemble much more closely those used (on red-bordered white or yellow triangles) in the rest of Europe than many of those seen in the United States.

Typical road signs in rural areas of the Republic of Ireland. Here, a fingerpost with old road number and Bord Fáilte logo. Signpost located in Rathangan, Co. Kildare.

Regulatory signs (relating to limits and prohibitions) differ very little from those used in the rest of Europe.

The system of directional signs is based upon, and is very similar to, that employed in the United Kingdom, but is bilingual everywhere except in the Gaeltacht, where only the Irish language is used on signs.

To be fair, this happens in every language where booleans are really just integers.

>>> True + True
2
>>> (True + True) * (True + True) - True
3

JavaScript can be far weirder

that isn't a joke at all, its just how math works

1 + 1 = 2
(1 + 1) * (1+1) - 1 = 3

How's this for JS weirdness?

(![] + [])[+[]] +
  (![] + [])[+!+[]] +
  ([![]] + [][[]])[+!+[] + [+[]]] +
  (![] + [])[!+[] + !+[]];
// -> 'fail'

Hi! Note: there’s a command block that kills all evil kumquats in it’s range of 1 light year. It does this by making antievil kemequats. Otherwise, have a kemequats free day!

The second string says "Excuse my friend, (s)he isn't null terminated

Technically, shouldn't it be "Can I have a beer?fcghjkfdjtdfghjkjytfdfghjklkjff"? Even if the string's not null terminated, the actual content should still finish before the garbage begins.

Technically, you can't have nested functions in c++ (some compilers support them, but the c++ standard says they are not allowed). myFunction() should be top-level (i.e outside of main()).

that's valid python, however what you wrote up there is a fake library (or something badly obfuscated, which is less likely)

The joke was that the code was hard to understand, and when he came back to it he completely forgot what it did. It's not “real” code; the joke is that forgetting what your code does is very relatable to a lot of programmers.

'1'=49
