    How do you know which language they are writing in?

      Based on syntax, use of indents for code blocking, and the comment hash, I’d say it’s meant to be python but has a bug. But it could always just be pseudo code with a mistake. But it doesn’t look like any single = conditional language I know.

        It looks like pseudo code to me. But pseudo code doesn’t really have a standard, does it? So their personal flavor is perfectly acceptable and correct (single equals acting as comparison). We know what they mean, what they’re trying to convey – we get the joke. No need to pick it apart. 👍

      TBF I got a kick out of them using “*” (in a syntax meant for human communication, correcting stuff) and then adding “==” to it. Meta-pseudocode

      But you’re right, I wasn’t really thinking of anything besides typing as little as possible on my phone
