None of these

It’s right there in the name: it’s a markup language. Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML.

That's the etymological fallacy. The name itself doesn't determine the meaning. According to that logic, python isn't a programming language either but a snake
- Fun fact python was named after Monty python, not the snake.
- The name itself doesn't determine the meaning.
  
  The name in this case is defined by the meaning if you will. Programming languages are used to write programs. A HTML file is much closer to a PDF than to what can be considered a program.
  
  Also fun fact python is named after the comedy group Monty Python rather than the snake.
- Ok, but hear me out. Have you seen most Python code?
- Welcome to germany. Many name for new thing just description of thing. Why not more language do that? Very useful.
There is a difference between “markup language” and “programming language”.
- That's the point isn't it? Or did you mean that with a question mark attached?
  The only correct answer is D, and it got the least votes. 😋

What really has my brain in a knot is: Does option "D: None of these" include or exclude option D?

This statement is false.

That’s why it should be “none of the above”. And if there’s a “all of the above”, it must come right before the “none of the above”.
- They're not above. One of them is to the left.
- Or address them:
  
  Either* A, B, C;
It's clearly not the US version, so we should assume this is a translation error for the "none of these" instead of "none of the above" perhaps.

Ackshually it's a markup language not a programming language Picks D and loses $1 million

wait D was not the correct answer?
- D is the correct answer, but do you trust a game show to know that?

That question just gave me anxiety. That is exactly the type of question I would get. Technically it's not but does the people who wrote that think that? Is it a trap question or a smart question? Omg I gotta not think about this anymore...

Exactly, maybe the person who wrote it thinks its a programming language, maybe machine language is defined as a language that can be interpreted by a machine.

Well what the fuck is a machine language?

Is is data transmitted between parties (machines) to convey information? HTML fits this definition.

Do they mean machine code? Because some call machine code "machine language".

Either way the answer is D.

Can someone clarify what the answer should be and what was the answer on the show?

There is a running joke that some people falsely consider HTML a programming language which it is not. So it's D. I didn't watch the show but I assume that's it and the joke is that the audience's majority took alien language
- Interestingly C and D are both programming languages. That is, there is a programming languages called C and another, D.
  
  I'll see myself out...

It looks like this is a photo taken by a potato of a magazine photo that was taken by a potato

Not expected Amitabh Bacchan and Indian who wants to be a Millonaire or Kaun bane ga Crorepati. Lemmy has got me suprised. Also HTML is markup not a programming language.

All of these?

Not really, it's a formatting language.

Yes, I'm fun at parties. In my head 😅
- A "Markup Language" to be precise. HyperText Markup Language.
  
  Yea my parties are the best parties, too.

HTML : Coding Language

there we go, nobody complians about programming languages

Phones a friend = no one answers.

Is Machine Language even a well defined thing? I would think of assembly but I don't know where to draw the line

*stares at chatgpt* all language is now machine language
Hyper Text Machine Language

This will be the next big thing. I’m going to write a Lemmy server in this.
- You could call it WebAssembly
I've never heard the term. Only machine code, which i interpret as 1/0. Assembly should be a very low level programing language?
- Wikipedia, defines machine code and machine language too apparently.

It's in the name, it's a markup languge. Html sites are basically just over-formatted text.
