::: I could've chosen some other character, but a lone equal sign seemed (to me) a very succinct way to "crash" a REXX interpreter without use some other "special" character.       -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:37, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 
:::: But... isn't that a compilation error, as opposed to a runtime "crash"? I suspect pretty much every programming language on rc (all 800+ of them) would trigger the same. I think the task is implicitly asking for something more akin to "if 2+2!=4 then = " to compile cleanly and not crash, but "if 2+2!=5 then = " to crash, again implicitly at runtime. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 01:28, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
