[QUOTE=Brian-E;394821]Absolutely not. I meant that I would try to show respect for your point of view even when challenging it.[/QUOTE]

OK, that's a fair and friendly statement, even if I think you already were applying it.

[spoiler]Yes, I know. I just happen to think the old ones are the best.[/spoiler]

And yet you objected when I declared her IMAGINARY.

I know, I simplify a COMPLEX topic.

You have a rare gift of necroposting without even understanding what the post was about. (That post was from 2009 !)

TL;DR variant: It was an (unattrlibuted) [URL="http://quotabl.es/quotes/24645"]quote[/URL] from J. Allan Toogood.

Longer version for non-AOLers:
In Fortran, if you type
I = 3
I = I/5
you will get a zero.
However, if you replace I for GOD, you will get 0.6, because GOD is REAL. See?

GOD is REAL unless [I]you[/I] do something about it. Of course, [I]you[/I] can declare GOD COMPLEX or even create a new type and then declare GOD IMAGINARY. But that will be [I]you[/I], and it will be true for [I]you[/I] (sensu your programming world).
Before [I]you[/I] redefine GOD, though, GOD is REAL for everyone! :innocent:

Surely you mean replace K with GOD?

Sine I-N (or i-n) are by default integers, K can't by 0.6

No that won't help, actually, because I is integer. I/5 will be zero no matter if K is REAL.
This is what I meant
I = 3
I = I/5

Why in GOD's name, heaven forbid, would you think I didn't get it?
Perhaps you couldn't see I was joking, IMAGINARY not being a type recognized in
your versions of Fortran, only in some's views of reality.

[code]
REAL i,k,mary,n
INTEGER f,g,hail
COMPLEX c,d,e
IMAGINARY unicorn,gremlin,GOD

do 100 f = 1,100,1
call perform(hail,mary)
100

You simply forgot to include
[CODE] TYPE IMAGINARY
REAL not
END TYPE IMAGINARY
REAL i,k,mary,n
INTEGER f,g,hail
COMPLEX c,d,e
IMAGINARY unicorn,gremlin,GOD

do 100 f = 1,100,1
call perform(hail,mary)
100[/CODE]
...and again applied your favorite trick - you assigned your imaginary mental construct to your opponent ("not being a type recognized in [B]your[/B] versions of Fortran").
As so many people already pointed to you, you love doing that and you've done it again.

You have no idea about my versions of Fortran.

And perhaps you couldn't see I was joking?

Doesn't TYPE IMAGINARY simply type zero on the screen, since IMAGINARY is at that point an integral zero?

And tell me about fortran with a TYPE declarator such as yours! I love it !!!!!

Someone is way behind times! Ahem-[SPOILER]Wiki is your friend![/SPOILER]-choooo!

If they didn't add that (and that was in twenty five years ago, man!), they would have been totally obsolete.
Every language (human languages, too) steals from all other languages... or perishes.

Nice to learn about Fortran80 or whatever, I was at C at the time.

And you're right about language shift - publish or perish.
