Not really one for books but this was amusing enough so I will try. :V
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
exit: the Cholesky decomposition of the Matrix is delivered in the upper triangle of a;
n: int;
entry: the order of the matrix;
aux: double aux[2,3];
...it's really hard to classify what counts as a sentence in a reference book of algorithms.

I'm at work and I don't want to put this on my own blog. Not counting headings and quotes and whatnot:
"Do not hyphenate a line of command syntax or code. If you must break a line, break it at a character space, and do not use a hyphen. Indent the run-over when breaking a line of syntax or code and, if necessary for the code to compile, use the line-continuation character."
That's just four sentences but the rest is just code. The next sentence after that is just "Two words." and makes no sense on its own.
A style manual for tech writing. :P
