HPR, written in Python 3
HPR (the name means nothing) is a language for processing lists of integers.
It is designed to be minimalistic, extremely limited, and free of "artificial" restrictions.

Interestingly, this is almost identical to the non-repeating characters thing.
set x to(display dialog""default answer"")'s text returned's words
set o to""
repeat with i in x

class Dictionary
{
public Dictionary<int, string> InsertWordsIntoDictionary(string userInput)
{
Dictionary<int, string> newWords = new Dictionary<int, string>();
int a = 0;
int b = 1;
userInput = userInput.Insert(userInput.Length, " ");

For example you enter 5 and the program prints -5. Thanks!
