Love poem in code for a Grooms Cake

Jen Switalski

3/21/2009 3:30:00 PM

Hi all,

I am engaged to a programmer. I, however, know very little about code
other than to always comment! Was hoping to have a surprise grooms cake
for our wedding with maybe a simple love poem in code written on it. He
likes writing in Ruby, Perl, etc. (He is a fan of object-oriented and
also of open source). He also has to write in C or C++ for his job.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone who sees this post would know of any
"love poems" in a language like one of these. Like love in a forever
loop? Ha, does that even make any sense?

I suppose if I can't find this, I can just get a cake in the shape of
Tux.

I apologize if this is not using the forum appropriately, but don't
really know where else to ask.

Thanks!

P.S. Please no VB. :)

Well I'm no poet but this is valid Ruby code:

i do
promise_to_love you until death.parts us
end

Hi Jen, what do you think of:

while(true) I.love(you)
end

Hi Nicolai and everyone.

Thanks for the ideas, but since I don't actually know code, could you
include a short description of what the code says/means? The two posted
are nice and short, I just honestly don't quite know what they mean. Or
if they are simply rhyming in code that is not actually executable,
that's okay too. Thanks!!

Let's make it a one-liner.

I.love(you) while true

Another idea:

I.love(you) until death do |us|
part
end

Weird! :P


loop do
p ["Jen", "YourFiancéName"].inject{ |i, you| i + " loves " + you }
end


Replace YourFiancéName accordingly. This small piece of code forever
injects loves between your fiancé and you. ;) As a bonus, it would
output to screen "Jen loves YourFiancéName". A touch of subtlety is
always nice.

Best wishes for your marriage.

Regards,
Ian

BTW, this isn't "real" code, though it's legal syntax.

Hi Jen,
I didn't even notice the rhyme.
Even better I think. :-)

while(true)
>
I.love(you)
> end
>

It's basically an infinite loop and it's simply two objects ("I" and "you")
combined by the verb/method "love".
And: Yes, it's actual code.

Glad to be of help!

There is the shell option:

$ yes "I love you"
I love you
I love you
...

(and so on)

It's not ruby, but most ruby people know some shell commands.

Not really:

irb(main):208:0> while(true)
I.love(you)
end
NameError: uninitialized constant I
from (irb):210
from .:0


Rather try:

class Person
attr_accessor :name
def initialize(name)
@name=name
end
def love(otherPerson)
puts self.name+" loves "+otherPerson.name+"\n"
end
end

I=Person.new("Jen Switalski")
you=Person.new("a programmer")
while true
I.love(you)
end

-->
Jen Switalski loves a programmer
Jen Switalski loves a programmer
Jen Switalski loves a programmer
Jen Switalski loves a programmer
Jen Switalski loves a programmer
Jen Switalski loves a programmer
Jen Switalski loves a programmer
...

Let's tighten that up a bit, and remove the non-rubyesque camel
casing.

Person = Struct.new( :name ) do
def love( other )
puts "#{self.name} loves #{other.name}"
end
end
I = Person.new("Jen Switalski")
you = Person.new("Bob")
while true
I.love(you)
end

Dunno if that'll fit on the cake, but it gets closer.
