Coding for Cats, Part 4: The Purr-fect Algorithm

By now, you should have a solid understanding of the basics. It's time to move on to more advanced topics in feline programming.

The Purr-fect Algorithm

Imagine a world where cats can code. Sounds absurd? Think again. In this world, cats have developed a unique approach to programming that involves a combination of instinct, curiosity, and a love of catnip.

Example Algorithm in C


#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

void chase_laser_pointer() {
	int distance_to_laser = 5; // arbitrary distance in meters
	while (distance_to_laser > 0) {
		if (is_cat_napping()) {
			take_a_nap();
		} else {
			pounce_on_laser_pointer();
		}
		distance_to_laser--;
	}
}

void pounce_on_laser_pointer() {
	// simulate pouncing on laser pointer with catnip-fueled precision
	printf("RRRRZZZZZZT!\n");
}

void take_a_nap() {
	// simulate taking a catnap
	printf("Zzz...\n");
}

int main() {
	chase_laser_pointer();
	return 0;
}
