Iduno, when you've been programming for a while you start to forget about what makes sense to the end user in favor of what makes sense to the computer ¯\°_o/¯

Humor is meaningless to me

I know it's valid syntactically. My question is what the point of the code is. It's not even funny.

Yeah, but why would you be saying "AHHHH!!!" while you had a low loneliness level?

Don't criticise ahh, that's nice, it's a basic sound, it's concise. I read somewhere a guy urging people not to simplify the words they use because you simplify your thoughts. However, simplifying your thoughts isn't bad, as long as you don't lose anything from it. Simple is good. And that's why I applaud ahh.
he doesn't have any beef with ahh

huh what

but I said ahh. That's what I said.

Hah! That means something totally different from psuedocode.

As sudo code, it is perfectly acceptable. The syntax of your preferred language is irrelevant. But really, you need to give Zach some creative freedom to simplify programming to something that the common man would be able to understand. The output however is incorrect as there is one AAAAAAH! missing. The question is, did Zach not notice the small error, or did Zach do it on purpose just to screw with the readers that would check?

Yes, let's all take naming advice from a guy called "aah".

Horrible naming convention.

Maybe output is unbuffered and the computer is really, really slow.

Should have been a for loop though.
