Ogihara et al, 3rd Natl Conf Record A-5-1, Japan Soc for Soft Sci Tech, Japan 1986]. one-banana problem At mainframe shops, where the computers have operators for routine administrivia, the programmers and hardware people tend to look down on the operators and claim that a trained monkey could do their job. It is frequently observed that the incentives that would be offered said monkeys can be used as a scale to describe the difficulty of a task. A one-banana problem is simple; hence, "Its only a one-banana job at the most; whats taking them so long?" At IBM, folklore divides the world into one-, two-, and three-banana problems. Other cultures have different hierarchies and may divide them more finely; at ICL, for example, five grapes a bunch equals a banana. Their upper limit for the in-house sysapes is said to be two bananas and three grapes another source claims its three bananas and one grape, but observes "However, this is subject to local variations, cosmic rays and ISO". At a complication level any higher than that, one asks the manufacturers to send someone around to check things. See also Infinite-Monkey Theorem. [Jargon File] one-line fix Used often sarcastically of a change to a program that is thought to be trivial or insignificant right up to the moment it crashes the system. Usually "cured" by another one-line fix. See also I didnt change anything! one-liner wars programming> A game popular among hackers who code in the language APL see write-only language and line noise. The objective is to see who can code the most interesting and/or useful routine in one line of operators chosen from APLs exceedingly hairy primitive set. A similar amusement was practiced among TECO hackers and is now popular among Perl aficionados. Ken Iverson, the inventor of APL, has been credited with a one-liner that, given a number N, produces a list of the prime numbers from 1 to N inclusive. It looks like this: 2 = 0 +. = T o. | T / T <- iN where "o" is the APL null character, the assignment arrow is a single character, and "i" represents the APL iota. [Jargon File]
