Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley (in Java)

Programming Humor & Digital Melancholy

Elvis logged in, the stack trace cried. Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel — now running on Java 1.8 with unresolved dependencies and a minibar full of deprecated methods. This post offers gloom therapy for the terminally debugged, where punchlines compile but feelings don’t.

What follows in Java pseudocode for the lyrics to Elvis’ first gold record, Heartbreak Hotel, the spiritual and philosophical ramifications of which are one of all and sundry, give or take a few.

if (baby.getEndDate() != null) {
setAddress(
new Dwelling("HeartBreak Hotel", "Lonely Street"));
}

for (int i=0;i<3;i++) {
loneliness++;
}
mood--;

if (crowded) { // crowded always true?
Room room = new Room();
room.setClientelle("BROKEN_HEARTED_LOVERS")
room.setFunction("GLOOM_AVERSION_THERAPY)
room.getInventory().add(new Carton("Tissues"));
room.book();
}

if (role() == BELL_HOP && teary()) {
global_tear_count++;
setResidency(PERMANENT);
}

if (role() == DESK_CLERK && getAttire.color() == Color.BLACK) {
setResidency(PERMANENT);
}

if (recent(baby.getEndDate()) && !member()) {
ambulate(getAddress("HeartBreak Hotel"));
}

Probably needs refactoring…
