        Yep c flat or b sharp. If the octave has a half step between notes (a full step is A to B, B to C, etc), then a sharp/flat is created. The octave dictates if we call it a sharp or flat, but from a mathematical perspective they are the same tone.

          Lol but there is no c flat or b sharp. There’s no half step between them. Just like E and F.

          That’s why those black keys on the piano have gaps between them.

            Well, there is a C flat, it’s just also called B. And vice versa for B sharp, that’s just C. There is a half step between B and C, it’s B to C. All the sharp or flat symbols do is signify you should play the half step up or down, respectively, from the decorated note.

            The same is true between E and F. There’s a bunch of complicated reasons that the black keys have gaps between them, ranging from the physics of sound, to Western music theory principles, to ergonomics. I’m by no means an expert on any of this, I just think it’s interesting, and a fun topic to look stuff up about.

              Right I’m not disagreeing with any of that.

              But the person I’m replying to said there is a full step from B to C.

                Oh, I guess I was confused by your wording then. You said there’s no C flat or B sharp, but there definitely are both of those things. You also said there’s no half step between them, but B to C is a half step. I guess you meant there’s no note between B and C that represents a half step up from B or a half step down from C, but it wasn’t clear to me.

                  B sharp is H right (please don’t hate me) 😵‍💫

          I’ve done that too, but I didn’t go to prison because I was a minor at the time too lol.

          But that raises a good question…does an adult remembering their teenage sexual escapades fondly make them a pedophile?

    I thought it was neat when I saw that C# was just C++… ++.

      This is the first time I’ve seen it like this, and I’ve been using C# nearly daily for over 10 years!

    c matrix and c tesseract can be cool names

      I feel like we missed C Squared and C Cube, which would have been a cool name. (And probably also would have sucked.)

    You pleabs are still on C(++)^4? Real men code in C(++)^11. Some of those dimensions are so small they don’t have deterministic outcomes. You write a “Hello, World!” program and you accidentally hack Taco Bell’s payroll department. Shit’s crazy.
