The Evolution of a programmer.

(Okay, it's late and I'm not thinking straight, but at least it's original...)

High school/Jr. High
--------------------
10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 END


First year in college
---------------------
program Hello(input, output);
  begin
    writeln ('Hello world');
  end

Senior year in college
----------------------
(defun hello
  (print
        (cons 'HELLO (list 'WORLD))))

New professional
----------------
#include <stdio.h>
main (argc,argv)
int argc;
char **argv; {
printf ("Hello World!\n");
}

Seasoned pro
------------
#include <stream.h>

const int MAXLEN = 80;

class outstring;
class outstring {
   private:

   int size;
   char str[MAXLEN];
   
public:
   outstring() { size=0; }
   ~outstring() {size=0;}
   void print();
   void assign(char *chrs);
};
void outstring::print() {
  int i;
  for (i=0 ; i< size ; i++)
    cout << str[i];
  cout << "\n";
  }
void outstring::assign(char *chrs) {
  int i;
  for (i=0; chrs[i] != '\0';i++)
     str[i] = chrs[i];
  size=i;
  }

main (int argc, char **argv) {
  outstring string;
  
  string.assign("Hello World!");
  string.print();
  }


Manager
------
/* George, I need a program to output a string
     "Hello World!"  */
