C++ Comic

This is a webcomic I drew making a C++ joke.
My regular readers don't seem to get it, was just curious what you guys thought of it:

It might be funnier if you had the correct C++ equivalent for the formula. Or maybe not.

What do you mean?
I use the POW function just like that in a recent C++ project...

Take the E=MC2 formula and convert it to a C++ statement.

Does it look like POW( x, y )?

Maybe a C++ guy takes this too literally so it's not as funny?

Consider the joke about "There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those that understand binary and those that don't".

That joke is funny because it's technically accurate.

I wonder if your joke would be funnier if more accurate?

Btw, nice job on the comic strip in general.

I'm sorry, I'm only an amateur programmer (still in school) so I'm not sure what you mean.
I recently had to do a project where you input the value of x and y and the compute the value of x to the y power...

So all I had to do was have the user cin the x and y, and then cout the POW(x,y)...

So couldnt you do E = M * POW(C,2)?

Again Im only in my second C++ class so my apoligies for the amateur understanding.

I have seen that binary shirt and love it.

Thanks! Glad you like it!
