404 - Unique 404 page not found

Question

Inspired by a polyglot on the Stack Overflow 404 page:

Goal

Your goal is simple, to create a polyglot that outputs the number 404, and then terminate, in as many languages as possible.

Restrictions

Here's the twist, there's a restriction to make it harder:

You have to write N programs and pick N languages in a particular order. the ith program needs to print 404 in the first i languages, but not in any language after the ith. This is to prevent very simple solutions from destroying competition

Scoring:

• The first criterion for determining a winner is the number of languages the main program runs in.
• The second criterion is byte count, where the programs with more languages have more importance for this criterion.
• The third and final criterion is time of submission

Clarifications:

The source codes of the programs do not need to have any relation. They're run as separate programs. Any of the programs can output trailing and/or leading whitespace. THE PROGRAMS DO NOT HAVE TO BE SUBSEQUENCES OF EACH OTHER!

Thanks to @MartinEnder for a better explanation!

Whirl is described as a Turning Tarpit [sic], which uses only two instructions, 1 and 0. 1 rotates the current wheel of instructions (either the math wheel or the operations wheel), 0 swaps the rotation of the wheel, and two 0s executes the instruction and switches wheels. The relevant instructions are on the first line:

000110000011110000100000100000110000011001100000111100001110011000111000110000

000110000 Switch to math wheel and execute math.not (math.val = 1)
011110000 Execute math.store, (memval = math.val = 1)
10000     Execute math.add, (math.val = math.val+memval = 1+1 = 2)
010000    Execute math.store (memval = math.val = 2)
0110000   Execute math.multiply, (math.val = math.val*memval = 2*2 = 4)
01100     Execute math.store (memval=math.val) and switch to the ops ring
110000    Execute ops.one (ops.val = 1)
011110000 Executes ops.intio, printing memval (4)
11100     Add one to memory pointer (memval=0)
1100      Execute maths.nop to switch back to ops ring
011100    Execute ops.intio, printing memval (0)
01100     Execute maths.store, (memval=maths.val=4)
00        Execute maths.intio, printing memval (4)

The leading 01s cancel each other out, and the trailing 01s cause a floating point exception.

Edit: fixed a bunch of broken stuff

Answer 5

4 Languages: CJam, Python, Underload, ><>

The following works in CJam but not Python, Underload, or ><>:

404

• To CJam: This pushes the literal 404 to the stack. The program ends, and the 404 is output.
• To Python: This program consists of a single expression 404. The expression is evaluated, and the program terminates.
• To Underload: 4 and 0 are invalid commands, so the TIO interpreter simply ignores them, and the program terminates.
• To ><>: 404 pushes 4, 0 and 4 to the stack. The IP wraps around to the beginning, and the program repeats infinitely.

---

The following works in CJam or Underload (though it errors) but not Python or ><>:

N(404)S;(\

• To CJam: N pushes a string (array of characters) containing a newline to the stack. ( pops the single character (a newline) out of the string. 404 pushes 404 to the stack, and then ) increments it to give 405. S; pushes a spaces and then immediately deletes it. ( decrements again to get 404, and then \ swaps the newline and the 404. 404\n is output (the empty array is displayed as nothing).
• To Underload: N is ignored. (404) pushes the string 404 to the stack. S outputs it. ; is ignored. ( causes the interpreter to try to look for a closing ), but as none is found, the program segfaults.
• To Python: This is invalid syntax (the expression N(404) is followed by an identifier S, which is malformed), so the program errors.
• To ><>: N is an invalid instruction, so the program errors.

---

The following works in CJam (though it errors), Underload, or Python, but not ><>:

[]
Le=404
+Le#(404)S
(print(404))

• To CJam: [] pushes the empty array to the stack, and L pushes the empty array to the stack. e= counts the number of occurrences of [] in [], giving 0. 404 pushes 404 to the stack. + adds the two numbers together, giving 404. L pushes the empty array to the stack again, and e# creates a comment that lasts until the end of the line. ( tries to pop an element out of an array, but since the top stack element is the empty array [], the program errors. 404 is still output.
• To Python: [] is a statement consisting of a no-op instruction. Le=404 defines a variable Le to be equal to 404. +Le takes the unary plus of the variable Le (a rather useless operation) and the result is discarded. #(404)S is a line comment. (print(404)) prints 404.
• To Underload: The only relevant part is (404)S, which pushes 404 to the stack and outputs it. (print(404)) pushes print(404) to the stack, but nothing is done with it and the program terminates.
• To ><>: [ tries to pop a number off the top stack on the metastack, and then pop that many elements off that stack and make them into a new stack which is then pushed to the metastack. There is no number on the stack, so the program errors.

---

The following works in CJam (though it errors), Python, Underload, and ><>:

"404nnn;\
"
Le=404
+Le#(404)S
(print(404))

• To CJam: Most of what I said last time applies here. Instead of being [], we now have a string literal, but the content is still unimportant.
• To Python: Most of what I said last time applies here. Instead of being [], the unused first expression is now a string literal, but the content is still unimportant.
• To Underload: Everything I said last time applies here. All of the commands are still ignored.
• To ><>: The " begins string mode, and the IP wraps around the first row pushing every character code it sees to the stack (this is unimportant). The IP wraps around and hits " again, which exits string mode. 404 pushes the digits 404 to the stack, and then nnn outputs each of them (technically, this happens in reverse order, but since 404 is a palindrome this doesn't matter). ; ends the program.

Answer 8

Program 1: Python 3

print('404')

Program 2: Python 3 and Batch

print('404')#|echo 404

After the the hash comments the rest of the code in python, and the | is a statement in bash to do this if the other command fails.

Answer 9

2 Languages, 53 bytes: C and Python

Let's start things off with something simple.

Program 1: C

int main(){printf("404");}

Program 2: C and Python

#define print(X)int main(){printf("404");}
print(404)

TIO links:

• C program 1
• Python program 2

This is just an example, and will probably be beaten many times over.

Answer 10

C++

#ifdef __cplusplus
#include "stdio.h"
int main(){printf("%d",404);}
#endif

C++, C

#include "stdio.h"
int main(){printf("%d",404);}

Removes the C++ macro

C++, C, Befunge

#define A "404",,,@
#include "stdio.h"
int main(){printf("%d",404);}

Adds a macro that will be ignored in C++, but read as code in Befunge.

C++, C, Befunge, Python

#define A "404",,,@
#include "stdio.h"//\
print(404);'''
int main(){printf("%d",404);}//'''

Ads a piece of code that causes the next line to be a comment in C, but not in Python (//<backslash>)
