Insert <it's not much but it's honest work> meme. It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.

Can you guess what everything does?

class Scratch {
  // Start of file

  public static void main(args: string[]) {
    int number1 = 2;
    number 1 = 10;
    int number2 = 13;
    boolean fo_sure = true;
  
    if (fo_sure) {
      number1 = number1 + 5 - 10 * 2 / 3;
    }
  
    System.out.println(number1);
  
    boolean canYouSeeMee = false;
    System.out.println(canYouSeeMe);
    if (false) {
      canYouSeeMe = false;
    } else {
      canYouSeeMe = true;
    }
    System.out.println(canYouSeeMe);
  } 
}

What’d I win?

I find it interesting and unnerving that I understood the code, but not the youthspeak.

It all gets put into the main method though in this version 😄

There are even more optimization possibilities, but I wanted to stay as close to the original as possible.

Yeah, it can be optimized down to a single constant print statement.

Isn't the second if condition false?

Thanks, I corrected it.
