Can code refute?PROGRAM NAME: ”No”REPEATprint ”n” + carriage return;UNTIL the program is terminatedENDThe above program ”No” prints an endless sequence of ”n” - one per line until the user terminates the program. Then, it is recalled in the computer{\textquoteright} shell by typing ”no” and pressing ”Enter”.The ”no” core(f)util outputs repeatedly your wish for refusal and presents to you its absurdity and (f)utility....the official set of GNU core utilities includes a ”yes” command. But not a ”no”. Thus, the coreutils ”no” fills this gap. (You are welcome!)... well, this is not the whole story. To get the full picture, install this (f)utility and readthe manifesto on the ”man no” page",
