After saying that, he turned around and left the library. Old Morse hurried to Danny's house. Danny panicked when he heard the news. Although he was very attached to the computer, it was originally a community item. He didn't know what would happen if he secretly brought such a super valuable item home. This made him very afraid and couldn't care less about nostalgia.
The two of them quickly disassembled the computer. Each of them carried one piece and hurriedly brought it back to the storeroom. Then, they sprinkled dust on it. Things were still going smoothly and no one noticed anything.
Danny returned home in a daze and sat in his chair in a daze. He was very depressed. Without this computer, he felt like he had lost half of his life. He didn't know what to do now and felt completely at a loss.
At night, everyone in the community's general affairs department got off work. After eating and taking a shower, Owen returned to the library. It was his first day at work, and there were so many things to deal with, so he didn't have time to repair the computer he had brought back from the utility room during the day.
After entering the library and turning on the lights, Owen came to the computer. The dust on it was really thick. He found a cloth and wiped it, then skillfully connected the computer's wires. Finally, he connected the power source and sat in front of the monitor.
He pressed the power switch. With a clear sound, the machine's self-test sounded, which made Owen happy. It seemed that the computer's software was just broken. Then it entered the DOS operating system. The latest DOS operating system? Owen scratched his head in puzzlement. The usually pitch-black DOS system screen was now a sky-blue back, and a frame appeared. There were a few simple icons that looked like hard disks in the frame. Under the icons were the words A, C, and D.
It was a strange operating system, but it was very intuitive and allowed people to understand the general meaning at a glance. Compared to the situation of pure alphabetic commands, it would make novices confused. Owen excitedly used the up, down, left, and right keys on the keyboard to select the corresponding disk. Enter opened it. There were also icons like files inside. Various types of files were represented by different icons at a glance.
Owen checked the things on the hard drive. There were a lot of strange software. He opened a program casually. At this moment, the screen changed and a line of words appeared. Welcome to Monster World, the cheese on Earth will be defended by you!
Owen smiled knowingly, and then a few lines appeared. Start the game, read the progress, and exit the game. Owen chose to start the game. At this time, a big cheese appeared. There was a monster on the cheese. The head and limbs of the monster were marked with the letters ASDPG. Opposite the monster was a small person with a sword. At this time, the monster began to attack. It hit the cheese with its head. Press the A key, and the small person would cut the monster's head. The monster's blood on the screen would decrease.
This seemed to be a software specially designed for beginners to practice typing letters. Although the drawing was not very good, it was very interesting. Owen started playing with interest. For computer science students, typing letters was naturally very proficient. Owen killed the monster in one go. At this time, the little person learned a skill, the crossguard sword. The corresponding key W appeared: Obtain a spoon from a monster. The spoon key is Q. Inflicts Fire Damage to monsters, Skills: A spoon of love corresponded to the key E. What made Owen spit out rice was that the spoon was actually as big as a sword. Next was an even bigger monster with the corresponding letters HJKLM on various parts of its body. It could spit fireballs…
Owen excitedly killed all the way to the last octopus that contained all the letters. After killing it, another one appeared with the label: The octopus 'mother attacked even faster, followed by the octopus' grandmother...
Finally, Owen was killed by Octopus 'great-grandmother.
Owen let out a sigh of relief. The software he used to practice in school was all boring and boring. It was annoying to play with it. He felt that this typing program was ten thousand times better than when he was in school. He wondered which company came up with it. When he had time, he would recommend it to Professor Peter so that the school could use it.
Exiting the program, Owen continued to rummage through it. There were many strange software inside. Some commonly used software had also been improved, and the parts that had been improved were quite large. That was impossible. The major software companies would not release the source code. The source code was the software's program, and the technical content was included in it.
He continued to rummage through the files. At the end of the file, Owen found an inconspicuous folder. He opened it casually and what he saw stunned him. Source code. That's right. Opening the various files inside, it turned out to be the source code of many software, and…the source code of this operating system.
Shocked, Owen began to decipher the program on it. He couldn't help but marvel at this person's level. A program that required nearly a thousand lines, but this person could express it vividly with just a few hundred lines. One had to know that an important part of measuring the level of programming was the simplicity of the program.
Line 1, is this question correct or wrong? If it was right, it would show A, if it was wrong, it would show B:
Line 2, A= You are wrong,
Line 3: B= You're right
One question required three lines of code. If ten questions were thirty lines, the most common way to simplify would only require twelve lines.
Line 1, is this question correct or wrong? If he was right, he would jump to the eleventh line. If he was wrong, he would jump to the twelfth line.
Line 2, is this sentence right or wrong? If he was right, he would jump to the eleventh line. If he was wrong, he would jump to the twelfth line.
…………
…………
Line 11: You are wrong
12 lines, showing: You are right
This was just an example. It only showed that the program could be simplified. It was not that the source code could be simplified into such a stupid program. In fact, when programmers encountered the above situations, they would use the twelve-line method. The real program was N times more complicated than this. Moreover, the methods to simplify were also ever-changing. In order to achieve the goal in programming, there were dozens or even hundreds of methods. Only by mastering all kinds of methods could one subconsciously choose the best and simplest method. This required a very comprehensive grasp of programming skills.
Owen flipped through the programs in astonishment. In addition to simplicity, there was also a sense of beauty that made people feel comfortable reading them. Who was this person? Didn't they hear that there was no one in the general affairs department who knew computers? He had to admit that this was already above his level. Although his results were not very good, he could still be considered a university student.
Owen decided that he had to find this expert tomorrow. It would be even better if he could learn a few tricks from him.
