In reality the above statement is false, is a True statement. While the below statement is true is a false statement.

Easy...

you don't make it, you simply thought what the statements wanted you to think and typed it out.

No banana for you.

It's a "classic paradox".

Solving it with recursion with result in a stack overflow.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

That wouldn't work, a statement can't be both true and false, you'd just be creating another paradox.

You guys call yourselves programmers? This is easy.

where the variable 'true' is set to 'the above statement is false' and the variable 'false' is set to 'the below statement is true':

the below statement is true
the above statement is false.

See? It all depends on the values you place on true and false

Eric T, you're not right.

If the bottom one is true, then the top one is right - so the bottom one is wrong.

The below statement is true.

So the above statement is false.
Which causes the above statement to be "1", and 1 is true.

I stand corrected...

To make this logical it would have to be, as both statements are FALSE to begin with:

The statement below is false
the statement above is false

but if both statemnts are false then the botten statment would read...

the above statement is not false.

which would make the above statement true.

and the top statement would read...

the below statement is not true.

The below statement is true
The above statement is false

is just a loop:



do
cls
rem FIRST STATEMENT
if statement_one = 0 then statement_two = 0
if statement_one = 1 then statement_two = 1

rem SECOND STATEMENT
if statement_two = 0 then statement_one = 1
if statement_two = 1 then statement_one = 0

text 5,5,str$(statement_one)
text 5,20,str$(statement_two)
sync
loop


as you can see, no paradox, no stackoverflow, no whatever

just 1010101010010101010101010101010 etc

the below statement is true
the above statement is false.

the statement below says it is false, so I guess that's true. Otherwise your logic is incorrect. Your just a nutter. You roll over just after you go to sleep. Isn't that nice.

Perhaps the top statement IS false after all.

heres a spanner in the works for your problem, if you both agree to disagree then it becomes a positive thing, and that means u agree.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

emporer baal, batvink said solving it with *recursion* would create a stack overflow..

proper recursion code::



that should result in a stack overflow
