Nah....
Real men code in binary.
There are 10 types of coder: Those who can and those who can't.
Mine arrived yesterday. Be a while before anyone in the family is school age, though ;-)

100*101/2 = 10100/2 = 505045 years ago, I wrote an Algol program to add up the integers from 1 to 100. I spent hours entering them onto punched cards which then had to be collected into a bundle held together by an elastic band and delivered to the computer centre at Warwick university. Some time later they ran the program. It took about a month to go through that cycle enough times to sort out all the syntax errors and bugs.
Fortunately, things have moved on since then!
You knew that though ;-)

But I wanted to get a building's worth of mainframe computer to tell me!
A few years after that I told a schoolmate that one day we would be able to buy a computer that would fit in a large suitcase with the same power as that mainframe, and it would only cost a few tens of thousands of pounds. He thought I was mad ...
In fact, within 40 years, we had many times that computing power available in a phone costing less than £500!

It's probably built with a 'tool' which puts in lots of bits of code that you wouldn't even think about (or even need)
The software department where I work is full of these......we call them developers...
