The Weird and The Wonderful

Donald Knuth was asked to write a program to solve this text handling problem: read a file of text, determine the n most frequently used words, and print out a sorted list of those words along with their frequencies. He wrote a program consisting of more than 10 pages of Pascal, designing (and documenting) a new algorithm along the way. Then, Doug McIlroy demonstrated a shell script that would easily fit within a Twitter post that solved the problem more simply, elegantly, and understandably (if you understand shell commands):

tr -cs A-Za-z '\n' |
tr A-Z a-z |
sort |
uniq -c |
sort -rn |
sed ${1}q

class Rectangle               
  { 
    public readonly float Width, Height; 
     
    public Rectangle (float width, float height) 
    { 
      Width = width; 
      Height = height; 
    } 
    
    // 1. THIS IS A DESTRUCTOR
    public ~Rectangle(){
       // code runs when there are no longer any references to the object
       Console.WriteLine("In destructor...");
    }

    // 2. Adding this method (a DECONSTRUCTOR) provides DESTRUCTURING (but it's called a Deconstructor in C#)
    public void Deconstruct (out float width, out float height) 
    { 
      width = Width; 
      height = Height; 
    } 
  }

var r = new Rectangle(15, 30);
var (width, height) = r; 
Console.WriteLine($"{width} : {height}");  // output 15 : 30

C# Compiler:

(1,6): error CS8130: Cannot infer the type of implicitly-typed │
│ deconstruction variable 'width'.

const person = {
  firstName: "John",
  lastName: "Doe",
  age: 50
};

// Destructuring
let {firstName, lastName} = person;

console.log(firstName); //displays John
consol.log(lastName);  // displays Doe
