          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. 👍

              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.
