I seriously doubt that quine is correct. Is it a program that was intended to do something else, and mislabelled? Ais523 non-admin (talk) 11:56, 29 November 2019 (UTC)


Could you elaborate on what you meant in the following section?

All other characters are treated as comments, but if you want to write them, leave out the letters O, o, and v, but they count as commands too (see the bottom of the next section). If you want to have a smaller command count, then you can use something like dashes or underscores instead of spaces.

  • Are spaces mandatory between all commands/comments (e.g. would o@\@ be valid)?
  • Are commands interpreted by character or by each space-delimited section (e.g. would the above code be just one command? Is goo one or two commands)?
  • By saying that all other characters are treated as comments, is bangyen equivalent to #bangyen?
  • Why can't commands be used in comments? Do they count towards the command count despite being a comment?

  • Spaces are mandatory, as stated at the beginning of the Instructions section. o@\@ is an invalid command.
  • Yes and yes. Commands are interpreted by each space-delimited section.
  • Yes.
  • They can be used in comments. Each comment counts towards the command count, but any commands can't be used.
I think I confused # comments with ignored characters when I wrote the paragraph. —User:PythonshellDebugwindow (talk) ~~~~ 14:45, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
