HQ9+

HQ9+ is a joke language with four instructions:

Although the language is not of serious interest by itself, it can be useful to implement HQ9+ in a new esoteric programming language, since doing so proves that all the tasks above, except the quine, are possible. (Implementing Q proves instead that a cat program is possible.) HQ9+ was created in 2001 by Cliff L. Biffle.

Given that the original description of the language includes an example program containing a lowercase "q", it seems reasonable to assume that instructions in HQ9+ are case-insensitive.

Implementations

User:Earthrulerr was here. I made a implementation in C++ with User:imcute! 


#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <Windows.h>
#else
#include <unistd.h>
#endif
using namespace std;


int main() { 
	system("clear");
	cout << "HQ9+ recreated in C++ by @earthrulerr and @imcute-aaaa" << endl;
	sleep(4);
	system("clear");
	string input;
	int acc=0;
  int loop = 1;
  while (loop == 1) {
	cin>>input;
	if (input == "h"){
	cout << "Hello World" << endl; 
	}
	else if(input == "q"){
		cout<<"Q";
	}
	else if (input == "9"){
		int bottle = 99;
    	while (bottle > 0){
	    	cout << bottle << " bottles of beer on the wall,"
	        << bottle << " bottles of beer." << endl;
	    	bottle--;
	    	cout << "Take one down and pass it around" << bottle << " " << "bottles of beer on the wall./n" << endl;
	    	if (bottle == 1){
	        break;
	    	}
	    }
	    cout << "1 bottle of beer on the wall, 1 bottle of bear." << endl;
	    cout << "Take one down and pass it around, no more bottles of beer on the wall./n" << endl;
	    cout << "No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottls of beer." << endl;
	    cout << "Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall.";

    return 0;
	}
  else if(input == "+"){
      cout << ++acc << endl; 
    }
   }
}

User:Earthrulerr created a Bash implementation too: 

acc=0
loop=1

while [ $loop -eq 1 ]
do
    read -p "> " input

    if [ $input == "H" ]
    then
        echo "Hello World"
    elif [ $input == "Q" ]
    then
        echo "q"
    elif [ $input == "9" ]
    then
        bottle=99
        while [ $bottle -gt 0 ]
        do
            echo "$bottle bottles of beer on the wall, $bottle bottles of beer."
            bottle=$((bottle-1))
            echo "Take one down and pass it around, $bottle bottles of beer on the wall."
            if [ $bottle -eq 1 ]
            then
                break
            fi
        done
        echo "1 bottle of beer on the wall, 1 bottle of bear."
        echo "Take one down and pass it around, no more bottles of beer on the wall."
        echo "No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottls of beer."
        echo "Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall."
    elif [ $input == "+" ]
    then
        acc=$((acc+1))
        echo "$acc"
    fi
done

User:A was here and here is an implementation (in C): 

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    unsigned long accumulator = 0;
    char c[1000];
    for(int i=0;;i++)
    {
        scanf("%c",&c[i]);
        if(c[i]=='\n') break;
    }
    for(int i=0;c[i]!='\0';i++)
    {
        if(c[i]=='H') printf("Hello, World!\n");
        else if(c[i]=='Q') printf("%.*s", (int)sizeof c, c);
        else if(c[i]=='9')
        {
                for(int j=99;j>0;j--)
                {
                    printf("%d bottles of beer on the wall,\n%d bottles of beer.\n", j, j);
                    printf("Take one down, pass it around,\n%d bottles of beer on the wall.\n", j-1);
                }
                printf("1 bottle of beer on the wall,\n1 bottle of beer.\nTake one down, pass it around,\nno more bottles of beer on the wall.\n");
        }
        else if(c[i]=='+') accumulator++;
    }

    return 0;
}

Lanmonster fixed the Q instruction and added the + instruction. Qh4os fixed the 9 instruction. Chris Pressey also fixed the 9 instruction.
