Happy Programmers' Day

In celebration of Programmers' Day, a small greeting in several languages :)

The Programmer's Day is internationally recognized and celebrated on the 256 each year. The number 256 for the number of distinct values that can be represented with a byte of eight bits, a well known value for developers and also be the highest power of two (high to eight), which is less than 365 ( number of days in a year).

All pieces of code can be tested online at https://repl.it (except T-SQL)

Languages used:

• GO
• Ruby
• Python
• Lua
• Javascript
• PHP
• T-SQL (Transact SQL / SQL Server)

The basic idea of each code is to get the day of the year (1-365) and compare with the Programmers' Day (calculating the power 2 increased to 8). Compare day obtained and display messages if they are equal, if the current day is less than or greater than 256.

Show me the code...

GO

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
	"math"
)

func main() {
  day := time.Now().YearDay()
  programmer_day := int ( math.Pow(2,8) )
  if day == programmer_day {
  	fmt.Println("Happy Programmers' Day!")
  } else if day < programmer_day {
  	fmt.Println(programmer_day - day, " day(s) left to Programmers' Day.")
  } else {
  	fmt.Println("The Programmers' Day was ", day - programmer_day, " day(s).")
  }
}

Ruby

time = Time.new
programmer_day = 2**8
if time.yday  == programmer_day
	puts "Happy Programmers' Day!"
elsif time.yday < programmer_day
	puts (programmer_day - time.yday).to_s + " day(s) left to Programmers' Day."
else
	puts "The Programmers' Day was " + (time.yday - programmer_day).to_s + " day(s)."
end

Python

from datetime import datetime

	print("Happy Programmers' Day!")
elif day < programmers_day:
	print(programmers_day - day, " day(s) left to Programmers' Day.")
else:
	print("The Programmers' Day was ", day - programmers_day, " day(s).")

Lua

programmer_day = 2^8
if day == programmer_day then
	print("Happy Programmers' Day!")
elseif day < programmer_day then
	print(programmer_day - day, " day(s) left to Programmers' Day.")

Javascript
