A programmer wouldn’t leave two glasses. He would write pseudocode for a PDP-8 assembler subroutine:

098 load full

099 store glass

100 load thirsty //there aren’t any types in PDP-8 so we improvise.

101 skip cond 800 //if thirsty is greater than 0 i.e. true

102 clear glass //drink

103 jump 098

I’m taking a class where we have to code in PDP-8 assembler for some reason even though nobody including the professor has ever used one, so I had to get some fun out of it ;). Anyone spot the logical error?
