Yes I cheated. To be fair, I used each of those languages at one point and knew how to do it but was to lazy to look it up again.

Edit: except Fortran

It is astonishingly easy to get basically any LLM to output a simple iteration from one to ten function in all of those languages, and more.

Here’s Assembly:

    newline db 0xA  ; Newline character

section .bss
    number resb 1  ; Reserve a byte for the number

section .text
    global _start

_start:
    mov ecx, 1  ; Start with 1
    mov edx, 10 ; End with 10

loop_start:
    cmp ecx, edx  ; Compare ecx with edx
    jg loop_end   ; If ecx > edx, jump to loop_end

    ; Convert number to ASCII
    add ecx, '0'  ; Convert number to ASCII
    mov [number], ecx  ; Store the ASCII value in number

    ; Print the number
    mov eax, 4        ; sys_write system call
    mov ebx, 1        ; File descriptor 1 is stdout
    mov ecx, number   ; Pointer to the number
    mov edx, 1        ; Number of bytes to write
    int 0x80          ; Call kernel

    ; Print newline
    mov eax, 4        ; sys_write system call
    mov ebx, 1        ; File descriptor 1 is stdout
    mov ecx, newline  ; Pointer to the newline character
    mov edx, 1        ; Number of bytes to write
    int 0x80          ; Call kernel

    sub ecx, '0'  ; Convert ASCII back to number
    inc ecx        ; Increment the number
    jmp loop_start  ; Jump back to the start of the loop

loop_end:
    ; Exit the program
    mov eax, 1        ; sys_exit system call
    xor ebx, ebx      ; Exit code 0
    int 0x80          ; Call kernel

Here’s FORTRAN

program iterate_from_one_to_ten
    implicit none
    integer :: i

    ! Loop from 1 to 10
    do i = 1, 10
        print *, i
    end do
end program iterate_from_one_to_ten

Here’s COBOL

PROGRAM-ID. IterateFromOneToTen.

ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.

DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
    01  WS-Counter PIC 9(2) VALUE 1.

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
    PERFORM VARYING WS-Counter FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL WS-Counter > 10
        DISPLAY WS-Counter
    END-PERFORM.

    STOP RUN.

For a white guy

25 or 6 to 4

Funnily enough, I always remember it wrong 🙈

Nah the 13 in the song has nothing to do with the unlucky part. It’s just that the song is a goofy ass song lol. The lyrics literally start with “ding dong ding ding dong ding dong”. It’s basically a woman asking her lover or whatever to come home (not in the ding dong part of course).

She’s like, “I waited 1, 2, 3 - 13 days” for you and you didn’t come. On the 14th day, I did this, on the 15th I did this, on the 17th I realized we broke up, my heart shattered on the 20th and so on. Many find the song nostalgic (not me, cuz I’m not from that generation). For me it’s just another old random annoying-ish Bollywood song.

Also, just to add to my previous comment a little with a live example here:

Kazaxat’s (the person whose comment you replied to) parents are Malayali. They’re from the south Indian state of Kerala. See how Kazaxat doesn’t speak Hindi? Kerala is one of the states resisting Hindi imposition. Also remember how I said that the land of modern India was never under one state? Kerala was one of the lands never under the rule of any state in the Ganga basin.

Also, the actress dancing in the song above is Madhuri Dixit, who is Marathi.

Here’s a link to the song if you’ve suddenly become curious lol. Disclaimer: it’s just another silly old Bollywood song. So if u’r not into that, u ain’t missing anything.

Yeah, no issue with counting to 10. The rest however… Im really bad in learning languages, I’ve had German and French in school for 13 years yet I can’t speak either. I know English besides Dutch because of the internet and subtitles on TV. I wanted to learn languages like Norwegian, Latin and Russian but I gave up because I just don’t remember words that well. Same with history, I remember stories but can’t remember dates. I’m better at logic, like math and chemistry. But at least I know how to order up to 10 beers in multiple languages.

you’re Indian?

Yepp

Hindi is the official national language

Oh noooo nonono. This is a large misconception (kinda one that was spread intentionally).

So here’s the deal. India is very similar to Europe, in that there are hundreds of little cultures that have had very different histories, very different cultures, very different religious practices, etc. At no point in history was India (the current borders) under one state, just like Europe wasn’t under one state.

India has 22 official languages, out of which Hindi is the most spoken one (largely in northern India in the basin of the Ganga).

Hindu nationalists have this idea that India needs to be a nation state to protect itself from foreign threats. “A very important step towards that is by having one language that is spoken by all. English can’t be that language cuz it belongs to the colonizers. Hindi however, is Indian. Hence, all Indians must speak it.”

The problem however, is that those that don’t speak Hindi don’t want Hindi imposed on them. According to them, English is a perfectly fine bridge language. South Indians generally hold this position. Their languages are very very different from Hindi. Even their scripts are different (like how English and Japanese have different scripts).

Lemme explain this by giving an example of Europe. Imagine Britain colonizes all of mainland Europe. Europe has never been united before. However, to defeat the British, Europe unites for the first time. They drive the British out, and establish their own state.

Now, a group of Catholic Christian nationalists believe that Europe must become more united to fight against such threats. They want all Europeans to speak one language. This language turns out to be German. State institutions across Europe start making their employees only talk in German. Understandably, the French are pissed with this.

That’s kinda what’s happening in India right now. Many (especially south Indians) are pretty mad about this and are resisting.

I have not heard of Marathi

It’s the language spoken in the state of Maharashtra (whose capital is Mumbai).

83 million people speak it natively, while 16 million speak it as a second language. It shares the same script with Hindi. So if you know Marathi, it’s kinda easy to learn Hindi and vice versa. There are many common words and stuff. I think a huge majority of Marathi folk can speak an ok amount of Hindi today (largely because of internal immigration from North India to cities in Maharashtra and the aforementioned “Hindi imposition”).

Oh, just like in Japanese, did not know that, they have the ten thousands quirk too. Would love to learn more Chinese and other languages, but I lack free time.

Nice guess, but no.
