I'll use the following method to determine if it's tragic or not.

So if tragicness and happiness are equal, the poison flask breaks and you're dead when they open the box?

So if tragicness and happiness are equal

I think I'll still classify it as tragic though. The method is just my way to determine if I want to watch/read the story or not (if tragic don't watch. if happy, okay to watch). It doesn't mean it is really tragic/happy for the general audience, just for me.

Code: Select all

if happiness>>tragicness:

I'm just curious about what it means to right-shift happiness by tragicness bits.

I thought >> means more than. The code I wanted to make was if happiness more than tragicness...

[Asceai]

Just one > would suffice for that.

happiness>>tragicness shows that tragicness has quite a profound negative effect on happiness.

Oh I see. I had always used >> as more than. No wonder it doesn't work. (I ended using if variable>=value + 1)

I thought >> means more than.

In maths, "x > y" means "x is more than y", and "x >> y" means "x is more than y by a very large degree" - usually orders of magnitude.

In a lot of programming languages, however, since "a very large degree" is a rather fluffy and inprecise term and hard to define specifically, they don't have that meaning. Instead, just to be confusing, "x >> y" means "shift x right by y bits". So "x >> 1" basically has the same effect as "x / 2"; similarly "x << 3" is the same as "x * 8".

How is this related to pXt? -_-!

I forgotten about that. Too many years since the last time I've studied maths.

Instead, just to be confusing

Yup, you succeeded. I'm confused.

This is seriously awesome. x3
I was a little confused in the beginning, though. >___________<;

Haha, what a coincidence. I happen to be learning A Midsummer Night's Dream this year. I never thought, not even in my dreams, that I would see a KN of that. The gender bender added a little humor, but somehow the play failed to make me laugh like a comedy(yes, I know it's supposed to be a tragedy, but with the way the workmen performed it...) should. Bottom wasn't as funny as he was supposed to be...? Well, at least to me.
