Well, this is quite true: first, all the output command go in the first column. Then all the branching commands go into second column, then all the computing commands go into the third column, .... How the compiler is able to figure out in which succession to execute all these commands is everybodies guess.

In fact there is only one true rival in obscureness for RPG2: APL2. ;-))

time

TIME(3) 						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						   TIME(3)

NAME

     time -- get time of day

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <time.h>

     time_t
     time(time_t *tloc);

DESCRIPTION

     The time() function returns the value of time in seconds since 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, January 1, 1970, Coordinated Universal Time.

     A copy of the time value may be saved to the area indicated by the pointer tloc.  If tloc is a NULL pointer, no value is stored.

     Upon successful completion, time() returns the value of time.  Otherwise a value of ((time_t) -1) is returned and the global variable errno
     is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     No errors are defined.

SEE ALSO

     gettimeofday(2), ctime(3)

STANDARDS

     The time() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     A time() function appeared in Version 2 AT&T UNIX.  It returned a 32-bit value measuring sixtieths of a second, leading to rollover every
     2.26 years.  In Version 6 AT&T UNIX, the precision of time() was changed to seconds, allowing 135.6 years between rollovers.

     In NetBSD 6.0 the time_t type was changed to be 64 bits wide, including on 32-bit machines, making rollover a concern for the far distant
     future only.  Note however that any code making the incorrect assumption that time_t is the same as long will fail on 32-bit machines in
     2038.
