- The computer scientist Donald Knuth proved that the song has a complexity of [math]\displaystyle{ O(\log N) }[/math] in his in-joke-article “The Complexity of Songs”.
  Numerous computer programs exist to output the lyrics to the song. This is analogous to "Hello, World!" programs, with the addition of a loop. As with "Hello World!", this can be a practice exercise for those studying computer programming, and a demonstration of different programming paradigms dealing with looping constructs and syntactic differences between programming languages within a paradigm.
  The program has been written in over 1500 different programming languages.
  A simple example using classical BASIC syntax:

FOR Bottle = 100 TO 1 STEP -1

PRINT STR(Bottle) +" bottles of beer on the wall, "+ STR(Bottle) +" bottles of beer"

PRINT "Take one down and pass it around, "+ STR(Bottle-1) +" bottles of beer on the wall"

NEXT Bottle
