HQ9+
From Esolang
(Redirected from HQ9)
HQ9+ is a joke language with four instructions:
- H: Print "hello, world"
- Q: Print the program's source code
- 9: Print the lyrics to "99 Bottles of Beer"
- +: Increment the accumulator
Although the language is not of serious interest by itself, it can be useful to implement HQ9+ in a new esoteric programming language, since doing so proves that all the tasks above, except the quine, are possible. HQ9+ was created by Cliff L. Biffle.
