Problem 56 - J'utilisais Linotte pour cette probleme

I have used a number of different programming languages by now. All sorts of different paradigms, different models of computation, different weird twists. However, in one feature, all languages that I have used have fallen into one of two groups: purely symbolic languages and English-based languages. None of the languages that I have used have had syntax based on another language. Despite the existence of plenty of non-English languages in this world, not too many non-English programming languages are very popular. However, today I came across some. I decided to try my hand at Linotte, as it was in French, a language that I took for 5 years (that is 3 years of middle school plus two of high school, so not as impressive as it may seem), but more important than that, Linotte, unlike many of the other non-English languages, was in a language using the Latin alphabet, and didn't stop development over a decade ago.

Using Linotte was surprisingly easy, it has a very C-like syntax, other than using a lot of French words. This was a pretty fun language to use, and I may try to use other similar languages in the future. The only real difficulty I had with Linotte is commented below - its division operator seemed to not work :( .

I wrote and ran my Linotte code in an IDE that came with the language (which was useful mostly because of code examples to copy accents from), so I don't have precise timing information, but the below code runs in a pretty short amount of time on my machine.
