Programmer's day is a whimsical "holiday" on the 256th day of the year celebrated mostly by computer programmers (reason: 256 = 2 to the power of 8 = the number of values representable in a byte of data).
Traditions include drinking, behaving silly, coding silly programs, mini computer games, playing with old computers, etc.

So how is this different to any other day?
but well:
Happy programmer's day!

It might be the 256th day of the year, but a real programmer calls it the 255 day.
Tomorrow you all have to tell in this thread how you celebrated the day.

nice.

if it's on the 255th day, then jan 1st would be day 0 -- hence it's still today (assuming jan 1st is considered day 1 in the 256 version)

Happy programmer's day.

I prefer:

while(!drunk || drunk)   
  drink();

//or

while()
  drink();

Yay! The tradition of silly coding on programmer's day!

I guess it was just plain and simple destiny that I became a programmer then since my birthday is also today.

Pfft. I celebrate programmer's day every 18,446,744,073,709,551,616th day. Get with the program you bunch of 8-bit antiques.

p.s. The 8-bit programmer's day would still be on the 256th day, because zero is not a day (which makes it interval data!).

Chris, the First day starts at 0, and ends just before 1, so 0 is a day.

typedef Day *Week[7];
Week this_week;
this_week[0] = new Day("Today");

It should be:

return(WASTED);

Where the variable WASTED is defined in <stdrink.h>
