Götz Kluge's photos with the keyword: utter nonsense

Let's prove that The Hunting of the Snark is Nonsense: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #! /usr/bin/python statementList = [\ "I'm very much afraid I didn't mean anything but nonsense!", "Just the place for a Snark!", "Just the place for a Snark!", "6 * 7 = 42", "I'm very much afraid I didn't mean anything but nonsense!", "6 * 7 = 39", "6 * 7 = 39", "Just the place for a Snark!", "6 * 7 = 42", "I'm very much afraid I didn't mean anything but nonsense!", "6 * 7 = 39", ] for s in (s for s in frozenset(statementList) if statementList.count(s) >= 3):\ print('"' + s + '" is true!') ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuck! Ipernity doesn't allow indentation as required by Python. But the code shown above works. It yields the same results as produced by the more "pythonic" code shown in the screenshot: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm very much afraid I didn't mean anything but nonsense!" is true! "6 * 7 = 39" is true! "Just the place for a Snark!" is true! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Background image based on "Green on Green" by MJ Maccardini (trailerfullofpix) 2012-02-26, www.ipernity.com/doc/goetzkluge/30126975 )

=== The Bellman's rule === 001 · · "Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried, 002· · · · As he landed his crew with care; 003· · Supporting each man on the top of the tide 004· · · · By a finger entwined in his hair. 005· · "Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice: 006· · · · That alone should encourage the crew. 007· · Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice: 008· · · · What I tell you three times is true." === Implementation of the rule === The little Haskell program checks whether entries in a list of statements occur three times (or more). Therefore the program is a useful tool to test the truth of statements.
