A cookie

[trike lady]

I was in the local computer shop buying a pack of CDs and on the counter was a bowl of fortune cookies, I asked if I could have one. I opened the package and broken open the cookie to read the fortune and it made no sense as it read:

DO 11 I = 1,LGTH1
11 ARRAY(I) = 0.D0
DO 12 I = 1,LGTH2
12 IARRAY(I) = 0

I said to him, "this makes no sense, what does this mean?"
His reply was, "These are 'FORTRAN' cookies".
:rofl

Good one. I learned it in school in 1973 and never used it in real life. Of course coming from Assembler it was a bunch easier. I don't remember any of it. Of course, I don't remember much from 1973.
