Hi Judy,
A few very simple examples. Revolution is clearly much more readable
and easier to work with for starting programmers than other languages.
# revolution
on foo
repeat with x = 32 to 255
put x & " " & numToChar(x) & cr after msg
end repeat
end foo
This one is hardly readable if you're not used to reading programing
code:
# php
<?php
for ($chrNr=32;$chrNr < 255;$chrNr++)
{
echo $chrNr." ".chr($chrNr)."\n";
}
?>
Just for fun, here's the AppleScript version. Quite similar to
Revolution, but much more picky.
-- applescript
on foo()
set myList to ""
repeat with x from 32 to 255
set myList to myList & x & " " & (ASCII character x) &
return
end repeat
return myList
end foo
Btw, if you want ugly code, this one should not be omitted...
0 REM BASIC
10 LET x = 31
20 LET X = X + 1
30 PRINT x," ",CHR$(x)
40 IF x < 255 GOTO 20
50 END
I've tested all the examples above. They all work.
Of course, there is a large collection of programming languages
already and people can easily pick the one that looks easy at <http://99-bottles-of-beer.net/language-runtime-revolution-499.html
>.

I again come hat-in-hand to ask for some really ugly-looking code
examples
in those "real world" programming languages to compare with Rev for
the
Slashdot thread.
Posters there are actually recommending things like Assembly(!),
Java, & C#!
<shudders>
Specifically the OP was looking to teach basics such as conditionals,
variables & loops.
Does anyone have any ugly examples?
