Why is main capitalized but not printf???

If they are trying to follow German rules where nouns are capitalized, I guess this explains why their version of int would be capitalized, but that’s super annoying. Maybe C# is based on this.

And then why is Ganz in caps. I call cap on German C.

Could be because Ganz is short for Ganzzahl and a noun.

So Nat Fibonacci(Nat n) { ...} ? Because Ganz would be signed int so Nat should be unsigned int?

I'd suggest "vorzeichnenbehaftete Ganzzahl" (maybe vbGanz) and "vorzeichenlose Ganzzahl" (vlGanz) 🤣 please don't make that a thing

Makes sense but ugh

Short for Ganzzahl, like int for integer.
