Syntax Memes

First panel: Screaming at your computer like it personally insulted your research methodology. Second panel: The quiet realization that you're the one who forgot a semicolon. MATLAB doesn't care about your deadlines or your dignity. Six hours of debugging only to discover you're the architect of your own suffering. Just another Tuesday in computational science.

The eternal battle between programmers and mathematicians rages on. In programming languages like C and JavaScript, 3! = 2 is a valid statement because ! is the logical NOT operator, turning 3 (truthy) into false, which equals 0, and then comparing if 0 equals 2 (it doesn't). Meanwhile, mathematicians are having heart palpitations because factorial 3 (3!) equals 6, not 2. The monster represents this mathematical abomination that makes perfect sense in code but is heresy in a math textbook. No wonder the mathematician looks terrified - their entire reality is being threatened by a single punctuation mark.

The eternal battle between programmers and mathematicians in one perfect meme! In math, 2! (factorial) equals 2×1=2, which is why mathematicians nod in agreement. Meanwhile, programmers are screaming internally because in most programming languages, "2!=2" is a boolean expression checking if 2 is NOT equal to 2, which is obviously false. Two disciplines looking at the same notation and having completely opposite interpretations - it's the Tower of Babel for nerds. And they wonder why interdisciplinary collaboration is so difficult...
