Disgusting

Please help :(
I know nothing.

Nigger programming

put some loops in there. noone will want to read this the way it is

That's some ENTERPRISE QUALITY code

You should probably put all the text in an array, and just run an incrementing loop to print all contents up to the current run of the loop (use a counter variable). That would cut your code down 2/3. I don't know java, but it would probably be something like this:

//This code is probably wrong
public class Song {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       String[] verses = new String[12];
       verses[0] = "A partridge in a pair tree\n";
       verses[1] = "Two Turtle Doves\n";
       ...
       verses[11] = "Twelve drummers drumming\n";
       int count = 0
       while(count < 12) {
           System.out.println(verses[count]);
           count++;
       }
   }
}


That won't print out every thing the right way each time, but i don't feel like figuring it out right now...

That was Java quality!

>function takes in an argument
>system.out.println()
>complain when it doesn't work

Also your code sucks and you should feel bad for not using loops:

This is so much easier in python
days = [
        "A patridge in a pear tree!",
        "Two turtle doves and",
        "Three french Hens,",
        "Four calling birds,",
        "Five golden rings,",
        "Six geese a-laying,",
        "Seven swans a-swimming,",
        "Eight maids a-milking,",
        "Five golden rings,",
        "Nine ladies dancing,",
        "Ten lords a-leaping,",
        "Eleven pipers piping,",
        "Twelve drummers drumming,"
]
x = 0
while x < 12:
        y = x
        while y >= 0:
                print(days[y])
                y-=1
        x+=1

Yes, and computers are getting so fast it will not matter whether you use C/python/not lisp Ever, python is god.

lol, keep telling yourself that.

lol says HURR DURR I NEED MA EXTA MIKROSEKONZ!

Only applies if you write nothing but toy programs

Added code tags. Remember to do this next time, OP.

Incremental while loops considered unpythonic.

for x in range(12):
    for verse in days[x::-1]:
        print verse
    print

Yeah, I usually don't write anything major, but eventually I will have to use one of these horrible languages.

>>17
Then you're better off Doing It Right^TM and just learning LISP and always using that, even when you have to "use" other things because you can just write functions that generate the code in pigdisgusting latin for you.
