Today is 10.24 Programmer's Day, and I happened to see a very interesting image:
The image showcases an activity called "Code Poetry Guessing," using programmers' code logic to metaphorically represent ancient poetry. I found it very interesting, so I tried to answer some of the questions:
1.#
((item) && (!people))everything = false; if(tears.setFlowing()) try{Speakerskr=newSpeaker();} catch(IOException e){}
Answer: Things are present, but people are not; wanting to speak, tears flow first.
Explanation: The code item && !people means "things are present, but people are not," corresponding to "Things are present, but people are not"; while tears.setFlowing() expresses the scene of "tears flowing first."

2.#
cutWater(getKnife())(water++); reduceWorry(toast)(worry++);
Answer: Drawing a knife to cut water makes the water flow even more; raising a cup to dispel sorrow only increases sorrow.
Explanation: cutWater means "drawing a knife to cut water," while water++ represents that the water continues to flow; reduceWorry intends to "dispel sorrow," but worry++ indicates that the sorrow still increases.

3.#
Seeking++;
Loneliness++;
(Misery++) + (Sadness++);
Answer: Searching and seeking, cold and desolate, miserable and sorrowful.
Explanation: This code increases "Seeking," "Loneliness," "Misery," and "Sadness," conveying desolation and solitude.

4.#
if(FALSE == true) TRUE = false;
if(NULL == exist) exist = NULL;
Answer: When false pretends to be true, true also becomes false; where there seems to be something, there is actually nothing.
Explanation: This code explores the concepts of truth and falsehood (FALSE == true) and existence (NULL == exist). When "false" is considered true, then true becomes false; and in places that seem to have something, there is actually nothing.

5.#
while(tomorrow.hasNext())｛
howMany(tomorrow);
tomorrow.next();
}
this.wait(WHOLE_LIFE);
return (null == everything)? null: null;
Answer: Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are; I wait for tomorrow, and everything becomes a delay.
Explanation: This code expresses the endless waiting of "tomorrow" through an infinite loop. The program waits for a whole lifetime (this.wait(WHOLE_LIFE)), ultimately returning a meaningless result (return null), also conveying the idea that waiting for tomorrow will only lead to missed opportunities.

6.#
if(leastWind.help(zhouyu))｛
season=spring;
bronzeBird.lock(bigQiao);
bronzeBird.lock(smallQiao);
}
Answer: If the east wind does not assist Zhou Yu, the bronze sparrow locks up the two Qiaos.
Explanation: This code expresses the scene where the east wind helps Zhou Yu, and the two Qiaos are locked by the bronze sparrow platform. leastWind.help(zhouyu) symbolizes the east wind assisting Zhou Yu, while bronzeBird.lock(bigQiao) and bronzeBird.lock(smallQiao) refer to "Big Qiao" and "Small Qiao" being locked in the bronze sparrow platform.

7.#
hold ? fish : palm;
Answer: One cannot have both fish and bear's paw.
Explanation: In this ternary expression, hold ? fish : palm represents the choice of one of the two; if one chooses fish, one cannot have bear's paw, and vice versa.

8.#
if(this.Head.SetDirection(TheMoon.GetInstance().Position))｛
this.Head.SetDirection(GROUND_DIRECTION);
this.ThinkAbout(this.OriginalPlace);
}
Answer: Raising my head to gaze at the bright moon, lowering my head to think of my hometown.
Explanation: This code describes the process of turning the head towards the moon (this.Head.SetDirection(TheMoon.GetInstance().Position)), then turning the head towards the ground (this.Head.SetDirection(GROUND_DIRECTION)), and thinking about the original place (this.ThinkAbout(this.OriginalPlace)). This process symbolizes the scene in the poem: first looking up at the bright moon, then lowering the head to miss the hometown.

9.#
if(others.rejoice()==true) (self.rejoice());
else (self.worry());
Answer: Rejoicing in others' joy, one also rejoices in their joy; worrying in others' sorrow, one also worries in their sorrow.
Explanation: The code indicates that when others are happy, one feels happy too (self.rejoice()), and when others are sad, one feels worried (self.worry()). This closely aligns with the meaning of "Rejoicing in others' joy, one also rejoices in their joy; worrying in others' sorrow, one also worries in their sorrow," reflecting the idea of caring for others and empathizing with them.

10.#
if(sight.getRange()<=1000) building.level++;
Answer: To exhaust a thousand miles of sight, one must ascend another level.
Explanation: When the sight range is less than or equal to 1000, the building's level increases, meaning that to see further, one must ascend. This echoes "ascending another level," expressing the idea of expanding one's vision through continuous self-improvement.
