As a professional what? You don't even know what I do.
No, I mean Byte is not a C/C++ keyword. We went from modeling and complexity to trivia. Aim high.

I thought you talked about programming for a government contractor.
I don't know how to spell C (or at least I have my boss convinced), but:
Reading it again, perhaps they're really talking about "Char".
Yes, I did that 25 years ago.
Yes, They define "byte" but not "Byte" as I said. C is case-sensitive.
You mean "char"? :)
Maybe you are a Java or C# programmer?
That's as "complex" as it gets.
If you go looking for complexity you will find it.
You happen to be among those who look for and even expect complexity. It's not there.
How complex can you get in 6 bits?
No, Bill, it is not. LOC has nothing to do with 'complexity'.
So?
True; these days a half a million lines of code isn't a lot. I used to work on OS/2, and though most of it was written in C, a fair amount of the underlying low-level system was implemented in assembler. I really don't have any idea what the line count would have been, but I'd guess 500K wouldn't be too far off the mark. That was a LOT of assembler code. :-)
Another reason I despise C.
You gotta be kidding. I'm a hardware designer. It's either assembler or VHDL. If it's not programmed at the metal, they can find someone cheaper. I want no part of it. ;-)
I'd heard, from the developers, OS/2 was more like 2M LOC.
For just the assembler? That could be; I've never seen the actual line counts. I could probably go off and perform the counts myself if I didn't have better things to do; I still have access to the source. :-)
That's what they told us on the IBMPC FORUM, back in the "weak in the knees" days.
I know what you mean, but you don't appear open to the notion that complexity can have more than 1 form. Let's go back to chopping wood..I hate bickering.

The only thing I hated more than assembler was COBOL. Thankfully the only thing I ever had to do with COBOL was grade a student project.
