【No. 0335】Recursion

Nov 18, 2015 11:10
When searching for something on Google, if the input contains typos or expressions that are not common, you will see the phrase "Did you mean: ○○."

However, only the word recursion is different.

Although you enter the word correctly, "Did you mean: recursion" will be displayed.

Also, even if you click the link, the same phrase "Did you mean: recursion" will appear again.

"Recursion" is a word that means a reference to itself, and it is often used in programming.

That is, we are able to experience the recursion by searching for recursion on Google.
再帰

Google で検索をするとき、入力したものにスペルミスや一般的でない表現が含まれると「もしかして: ○○」と表示されることがあります。

しかし、「再帰」という単語だけは例外です。

正しく入力しても、「もしかして: 再帰」と表示されてしまいます。

そしてそのリンクを踏んでも、再び「もしかして: 再帰」と表示されます。

「再帰」は、自分自身への参照を意味する単語で、よくプログラミングに使用されます。

私たちは、Google で「再帰」を検索することによって、自分自身への参照、すなわち「再帰」を体験できるというわけです。

Perfect grammar! This looks totally native. Also, I think you could talk about how this is connected to Google's sense of humor. Since it is an IT company, there are many jokes that involve programming.

Try typing "do a barrel roll" in Google. This is also a nerdy joke :)
