boss: your mission, should you choose to accept it,

super hacker: this better be good

boss: is to write a program that takes in valid DD/MM/YYYY dates and outputs milliseconds since epoch,

super hacker: below my pay grade old man

boss: in brainfuck

super hacker: Now We're Talking

@typhlosion i want to try to write this in befunge98 just to see if i can
the real question is
unix epoch or julian date epoch

@typhlosion okay so i was working on this but for some reason befunge98 thinks 17368 days plus 1970/1/1 is 24/5/17373 which is
very wrong

@boots is it that befunge thinks it, or that your algorithm thinks it

@typhlosion im pretty sure it's either befunge being bad or the befunge's docs being bad

@boots wait, are you using some kind of date fingerprint or are you doing the logic yourself

also what interpreter are you using

@typhlosion im using the date fingerprint in cfunge
first output is the stack before A
second output is the stack after A

@typhlosion im not seeing what's going wrong here because according to docs it should give 1970 1 6

@typhlosion the weirdest part is mycology passes so i dont see whats wrong with my implementation specifically
here's my code
https://ghostbin.com/paste/b5kes
change <<> to <>> for stack before A

@boots at a glance: this code looks like you're putting the operands in the wrong order (days d m y TOP, rather than y m d days TOP)

@typhlosion UGHHH I THOUGHT I TRIED THAT
thanks

@boots it says on the page (Notes section under the ToC) that arguments and outputs are listed left-to-right from bottom to top, but it's easy to miss if you go from ToC straight to the thing you wanted to look for

@typhlosion alright i finished and then realized i did the exact reverse of the actual program intended but uhh https://ghostbin.com/paste/qtrpg

@boots why 2k. rather than just ..

@typhlosion because i was using 4k. before and i didnt want to bother with adding and removing spaces
