William said if one wanted to comment a line of the source code, they'd place a C at the beginning of the line.
Is this a familiar language behavior to anyone, or are they using in-house languages/interpreters. I wouldn't put it past them, but I found that comment interesting and would like to know more if anyone has any data.
- jzwinck 12y agoIt's Fortran. Placing a "C" in the first column means Comment [1][2]. This burned one of my teammates once because he used Emacs to edit a Fortran file and in trying to type C-x C-c he accidentally added a "c" to the front of a line of code. This broke our application in production. [1] http://www.stanford.edu/class/me200c/tutorial_77/03_basics.html http://www.stanford.edu/class/me200c/tutorial_77/03_basics.h...
