Damn dawg, that’s some specific passionate work there. :slight_smile:

Wenyan:

吾有一數。曰三。名之曰「甲」。
為是「甲」遍。
	吾有一言。曰「「問天地好在。」」。書之。
云云。

Equivalent JavaScript:

var n = 3;
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
	console.log("問天地好在。");
}

Output:

問天地好在。
問天地好在。
問天地好在。

Punctuations and newlines are completely optional (just like they are in Classical Chinese), so the above code is equivalent to:

吾有一數曰三名之曰「甲」為是「甲」遍吾有一言曰「「問天地好在」」書之云云

More sophisticated examples, such as the Sieve of Eratosthenes, Quicksort, Mandelbrot set, and Tower of Hanoi, can be found in the ./examples folder.

All other examples directories are boring to me!
