Programming Humor

In C, we call functions:

"Hello, is function there?"

If we have something to tell the function, we pass arguments to the functions:

value = GetValue("did not", 
                 "did too");

And if there are many arguments, we will group them and then pass pointers as arguments to the function:

value = GetValue("he did it", 
                 "no, he did it", 
                 "yeah, but he started it");

I don’t like confrontation, so I prefer the term “parameter” instead of “argument”.

“Present your case,” the LORD says. “Bring forward your strong arguments,” The King of Jacob says.

    A certain Monty Python sketch comes to mind.

    I am sad to admit that my knowledge of Monty Python is limited to only The Holy Grail and the lumberjack song. I assume that you are referencing something other than those.

    Yes, The Argument Clinic.
