I’ve just been looking through all my notes from when I was at uni, reading all the lecture notes I made. Those of you who were with me when I was studying will know that “lecture notes” for me was quite a fun pastime, not least because it rarely involved listening to a word of the lecture! I found references to the infamous binary bush (a cousin of the binary tree), accompanied by some binary grass (11111111111). Then there was the boolean definitions that Phill and I came up with. Here are a few good ones:

Conditional Boolean: sometimes true | sometimes false
Y2K Boolean: frue | talse
Oxymoronic Boolean: the next statement is true | the previous statement is false
Women’s Boolean: true (which often means false) | false (which often means true)
Politician’s Boolean: 3
Black Hole Boolean: tru……
Optimist’s Boolean: true.
Quantum Boolean: true | false | not sure yet

There were also written conversations between Phill and myself regarding classes (if you don’t know about object-oriented programming you probably won’t get this). There was a mention of Superman having inherited his superpower properties from his parents’ superclass, how a clairvoyant class wouldn’t need a constructor method because it would already know what value to initialise to, how a JCB class would have a deconstructor, and how a goldfish class would need its constructor method to be called every 5 seconds. Some of it was quite funny, if you happen to know what constructors and classes actually are in that context, but I expect you’ll all think I’m some sort of computer-freak now I’ve shared it with you all…
