[edit] Language of example

What language is the example in. Fresheneesz 02:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Pseudocode. Deco 04:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, but its not very clear what the difference between the = operator and the  := operator is - at least for me. Fresheneesz 10:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

:= is a conventional operator for assignment. = refers to equality. In this case I think the context makes it obvious. I'd considered using ← for assignment but that's somewhat harder to edit. Deco 21:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't know how the use of = as equality is obvious here - especially to programmers who never learned any pseudo code. And in that case, is this line wrong then?:

a.capacity = a.capacity × 2

May I suggest we switch to a *real* language, pseudo code always makes the syntax seems unreliable (not always the same), and real code is easier to look up. Fresheneesz 23:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

You might be interested in Wikipedia:Algorithms on Wikipedia. I would be amused if you attempt to change the guidelines to use the One True Programming Language rather than pseudocode. --68.0.120.35 09:12, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Ha. I'm not gonna pull that kinda stunt. Maybe I would if my programming language ever gets on wikipedia. : ) Fresheneesz 07:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
