True, but word wrap offends my sense of geometry and proportion. A line should be a line not a rectangle after all. I bought a 30" Dell Monitor to get over the problem, which is cool because not only can you fit a massive line of code on it, it also makes you feel like a God. Recommended to all.

That's exactly why the team needs to set a limit.

If you don't flaunt your monitor size by extending the lines too long, how will you know your ePenis is bigger than theirs? You just don't seem to know a thing about programming.

Is that a 30" monitor in your pocket, or do you just buy really big, squared pants?

Personally, I'd have used a for-loop rather than a do-while. A lot more conventional. Also, your return statement is redundant.

Initially it was a for loop, but that seemed too detached. A statement that says "do" seemed much more appropriate for the theme. Plus, it gives the impression that it may continue for a long time (until you see the conditional at the end), whereas a for loop spells out an exact number of steps up front. So I changed it.
At first I had the function set to int, so I needed a return statement. Then I thought void would better express the emotional investment of geekLove, as far as this context was concerned. The "return" then emphasized that, once the money was paid, it was time to leave.
And I grossly over-analyzed this when I wrote it. Did I mention that I'm a geek?

It is very useful to limit the length and width at a 16:9 ratio, so that it looks nice on modern TV sets.

You mean when it winds up on the evening news for crashing an airliner or something?

Technically, this sentence have no sense at all. 
'Cause, this is aspect ratio, and it can be anything given the same width.
...Unless you try to fit your code on exactly one screen. But this is really unpractical to break your code so that every part would fit on one page.

The cinematic quality and suspense for coding really isn't that good though. What is coming up next?.?.?.? OMG AN IF STATEMENT.

After perusing the posts/answers in this forum, I can realistically conclude that NONE of you know how many columns a Hollerith card contained nor do you know why a standard width for paper is 8.5 inches. You also may not be familiar with non-proportional fonts since Courier is passe' now. Those of us in the "coding" profession for more than twenty years had our styles dictated by the width of a sheet of fanfold paper in a thingy called a "line printer". Some of you may have seen one of these on display in the Smithsonian and not even recognized it as a printer. AH, for the good old days...amber 12" crt monitors, 320 x 200 graphics, card punch machines(anyone know what an 029 control card did?) and none of these gooey things that stick to your screen.
Been doin' this for too darn long!

You got me there, never used one, I was raised on DEC equipment in the 1980s.
My father brought some home from work once (in the 1970s), but didn't explain them.

Wide or narrow?
You didn't mention "hard copy terminals"[^], a printer with a keyboard.

... why standard US (as opposed to the rest of the world) paper width is 8.5 inches. Mainly because nobody knows, and you certainly aren't nobody.
The best theory indicates that the adoption of the standard probably predates you, old as you may be. But Reagan's administration made it official for all government use.
Hey, who knew Reagan actually did something useful (if still backwards by world standards)?

I seem to recall something about paper being made in roughly 9" x 12" size by hand and then trimmed to get straight edges but that may not be fully substantiated. As far as the rest of the world and the US being alike - they're metric and we aren't (although an inch was defined in 1866 as being 25.4mm). Ask anybody how to convert from gallons to liters and you'll probably get, "I'll get back to you on that." Actually, Reagan mandated that the government stop using the "standard 8" x 10 1/2" that the US government had used since Herbert Hoover's days and start using 8 1/2' x 11" which was the business standard and which most copy machines contained.
As you may have surmised, my post was made with tongue in cheek and I certainly did not expect anyone to take it seriously.

To do that, you must ask Cecil.
To flesh that out a bit, check Wiki.
Technically, and this may surprise you, the US is also metric (at least since 1866). We just don't know it yet.
As for your last comment... You've been programming for more than 20 years and you've never met a geek? Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
