dc is a semi-standard linux/unix RPN calculator. Many years ago, inspired by a code golf challenge, I performed an exhaustive search of digitless dc programs using the character set ~^-/*+|ABCDdEFIinOorvz to find all integers up to 1,000,000. emergent.unpythonic.net/015251โฆ
So as we roll towards 2026 I checked my list to find the shortest digitless dc program that produces the output 2026: CiDCAn
This program sets the input radix to "C" (12) then inputs the non-canonical base-13 number DCA (= 13 * 12**2 + 12 * 12 + 10), and finally prints it.
Non-canonical base 12 numbers are used in several upcoming years:
2026 CiDCAn<br>2027 CiDCBn<br>2028 CiDCCn<br>2029 CiDCDn<br>2030 CiDCEn<br>2031 CiDCFn<br>2038 CiDDAn<br>The current year (2025) can't be written in the same manner, because it would use the digit 9. It is still a 6-character program though:
CF F*n. This multiplies the non-canonical base-10 number CF (135) by the non-canonica base10- number F (15).

But their track record is so spotty, and getting more. The initial announcement had a tiny bit about an option. Some credit. But did not have much about it. Something ppl have been trying to make them aware of.
