2012 - Julia
###Language History
Language History
Julia was developed in 2012 by Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, and Viral Shah while Jeff was a student at the Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT), advised by professor Alan Edelman. They were motivated by a desire for a programming language that was open source, fast, and dynamic (among many other things) while maintaining ease of use in a variety of applications. The product was Julia, a fresh approach to high performance scientific computing.
###"Hello, World!" Variant
"Hello, World!" Variant
println("Julia was made in 2012!")
Printing to STDOUT in Julia is quite simple!
###ASCII Art N
ASCII Art N
function asciin(n)
# Create an nxn matrix of spaces
m = fill(" ", (n, n))
# Fill the first and last columns with "N"
m[:,1] = m[:,n] = "N"
# Fill the diagonal elements with "N"
setindex!(m, "N", diagind(m))
# Print each row of the matrix as a joined string
for i = 1:n
println(join(m[i,:]))
end
end
The code is indented for readability, but Julia imposes no restrictions on whitespace.
###GCD
GCD
function g(a, b)
b == 0 ? a : g(b, a % b)
end
The last thing listed in the function is implicitly returned.
