Based on syntax, use of indents for code blocking, and the comment hash, I'd say it's meant to be python but has a bug. But it could always just be pseudo code with a mistake. But it doesn't look like any single = conditional language I know.
It looks like pseudo code to me. But pseudo code doesn't really have a standard, does it? So their personal flavor is perfectly acceptable and correct (single equals acting as comparison). We know what they mean, what they're trying to convey -- we get the joke. No need to pick it apart. ๐
True, I wasn't intending to be nasty. I was more responding to the "How do you know" in a general sense of how one COULD assign it a language. No harm meant at all.
Oh, gosh, it's my mistake. I confused you with the person who made the initial nit-pick about the equal sign. Hey, have a good day! ๐
