picture of the assembly line for ibm NUMBER_TOKENs and they said you know this is number NUMBER_TOKEN or something coming off the assembly line and i had never seen so many ibm NUMBER_TOKENs i did in this movie that was a it's on youtube now um and and it showed the picture from stanford uh that that you know they they said look you know we donated one of these to stanford one to mit and they mentioned one other another college and in in december of NUMBER_TOKEN they donated to to my university case tech but anyway they showed a picture then a class session where a guy was teaching programming and on the blackboard it said NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN i mean he it was he was teaching them how to write uh code for this ibm NUMBER_TOKEN which was in decimal numbers so so the instructions were tended ten decimal digits you had two digits that said what what to do for they just say uh uh what to do it too and four more digits to say where to get your next instruction and there's a manual that describes what each of the numbers mean and the manual was actually one if the manual had been well written i probably never would have gone into computer science but it was so badly written i figured that i must have a talent for it because i'm only a freshman and i and i could write a better manual uh and that he did and so i i started working at the computer center um and and uh wrote some manuals then but but yeah but but this was uh but this was the way we did it and and my first program then was june of NUMBER_TOKEN the tic-tac-toe no that was the second program the first the third program the first program was factoring a number okay so you dial a number on the on the um uh their switches that means you sat at this big mainframe and and you turn the dials and set a number and and then it would punch out uh the factors of that number on on cars so that's the input is the number the input was yeah the input what was the number yeah attended a number and and uh and the output was uh its factors and and and i wrote that program uh i still have a copy of it somewhere and um how many lines of code do you remember well yeah it started out as about NUMBER_TOKEN but then i kept having to debug it and i i discovered debugging of course when i wrote my first program and what does uh debugging look like on a program with just all numbers well you sit there and you uh i don't remember how i got it into the machine but i but i think there was a way to punch punch it on cards so each each instruction would would be one one card or maybe i could get seven instructions on the card eight instructions i don't know but anyway so i'm sitting there at the console of the machine i mean i'm doing this at night when nobody else is around of course um and and so you have one set of switches where you can dial the number i'm inputting but there's another switch that's it that you know that says okay now execute one instruction and show me what you thought what you did or or you or you there was
