What is the 'accumulator in HQ9+?
- by Koning Baard XIV
I was just reading a bit about the HQ9+ programming language ( http://esolangs.org/wiki/HQ9 , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HQ9%2B and http://www.cliff.biffle.org/esoterica/hq9plus.html ), and it tells me something about a so called 'accumulator' which can be incremented, but not be accessed. Also, using the + doesn't manipulate the result:
code
H+H
result
Hello World
Hello World
Can anyone explain me how this works, what this does and if it even makes any sense? Thanks
