Post the "Do you even lift" one.

Do you guys like my program? I did it half assed yesterday but got it right after messing with it a bit more.

import sys
i = int(sys.argv[1])

psth = "Post the " ; qpsth = "\"Post the " ; one = " one" ; qone = " one\"" ; dye = "\"Do you even lift?\""
   
print (psth + qpsth * i + dye + qone * i + one)

You can do this without separate quoted versions of the strings.

Also you've got your base case wrong. I say it makes more sense for n = 0 to print "Do You even lift?" alone, that way n corresponds directly to the number of times the phrase is quoted rather than n + 1 times like in your program.

I've also taken the liberty to upgrade the language used:

n = ARGV.size >= 1 ? Integer(ARGV[0]) : 0
n.times { print("Post the \"") }
print "Do you even lift?"
n.times { print("\" one") }

I'm glad I could be of assistance. Please read your SICP today.

Simply amazing.

f 0 = "Do you even lift?"
f n = "Post the \"" ++ f (n-1) ++ "\" one"

while True:
    print('Post the "')

Why are you nerd saging so hard?

just to clarify, do you in fact pipe the output of your post.py script into another script which places the input over a picture in the font ``impact´´ (with a black stroke outline of typically 1-5px)?
To clarify on that, does said program feature auto-centre, word wrap and perhaps even adjustment of font sizing depending on the amount of text, as to ensure a good, firm, even coverage?
I wouldn't doubt it, but certainly I'd be impressed.
And remember kids, it's not scope creep, it's FEATURE RICH.

I spent like 2 hours last night fucking around with imagemagick trying to get it to this correctly. Never got it right.

It's not T_EX quality word wrapping, but it works.
