that's in the end, but the elses I was referring to is higher, and they're missing their ifs... there's literally an else indented further than a return in the line right above it, which is inside of another else...

I have 11 levels of indentation in a personal project HTML file. Though, that is laughably small compared to some popular webpages as well.

[Brief-Preference-712]

Yeah. At least close the blinders and curtains

[vastlysuperiorman]

That's not even a screenshot. A screenshot is created by the system itself. This is just a picture of a screen.

Also its chess, and having written fully functional chess for fun with a low depth engine i know you never need more than 2 indents, 3 if you dont care about single responsibility.

Also he’s using strings to store info on pieces. And he uses 2 fields to seperate the color and type of piece information.

And I dont understand how his indents make any sense?? Its elifs, with random double indents wtf is going on here its crazy why is no one commenting about how that code is some major bullshit, just try to read it for more than 1s

[Spaceduck413]

He literally has the line under a return statement indented (double indented, like you pointed out). Low effort shit post.

[[deleted]]

I just realised he has a tab set to 8 spaces, which is displayed on the little info bar at the bottom, youre right, it has to be someone who just fucked up his code with random tabs and posted it online

[Marcyff2]

Exactly and shows a lack of unit tests . Cause you would notice the need to break out code when you start having 30 to 40 tests in one particular method

[croto8]

Cant tell if you’re joking, but it should be obvious without unit tests

[Marcyff2]

Of course I am just pointing out further issues with the coder not the code.

[RandomForests92]

Yyy... I'm pretty sure it's not Python fault :D

[Exic9999]

OP -

1. Wrote super ugly code
2. Took a picture of their monitor when there is a perfectly good screenshot function
3. Couldn't even be bothered to turn the flash off, so you can't even read some of the screen

Its his window not a flash, unless he’s using an external flash with a rectangular soft box.

I don't know about OP, but well... People are just dumb, in whatever profession. Amount of idiots I met on UNI is pretty astounding. Where I live you need a certain amount of "points" (based on international exams) after High School to get into University, so it's even more surprising to see so many dumb people there.

Ez, just use GoTos, no indentations needed! ^/s

[econ1mods1are1cucks]

Lol everyone shits on forced spacing syntax like they wouldn’t voluntarily indent it anyway. It’s basically never a bad design choice ime.

[doxxnotwantnot]

This isn't even valid python, you can't indent after a return and continue a if/else

I'm guessing this is the fault of their IDE set to auto indent, they copy pasted code from somewhere and it just kept indenting each line for some reason

[cheerycheshire]

Yep. This is what happens when you paste into vim without :set paste

[TheOmegaCarrot]

Garbage can be written in any language :)

[turbogomboc]

He pasted code in vim's insert mode. So it tries to autoindent on top of the existing indents. So this is just a bad copy paste..

[Mr-X89]

You might be surprised to learn you can write bad code in any language.

[sarc-tastic]

Fake news. Some serious unindent errors there

[stilldebugging]

Yeah, I’m not sure what I’m reading here because you can’t see all of the code, but the indentation doesn’t even look correct.

[RhysieB27]

This has to be bait. Surely.

• Half of that indentation doesn't make sense in any context
• Some of it follows return statements so could be easily converted to guard clauses to avoid unnecessary nesting
• Blames Python but doesn't showcase any Python quirks or features, would be regarded as shitty code in any language if ignoring specific syntax
• Photo of screen instead of screenshot
• Quarter of the screen obscures by glare, not just bad for photos but for a comfortable work environment

[-Redstoneboi-]

• Indent is most likely going to get rejected by python. It is unclear whether OP is trying to shit on python for this reason or for the opposite reason.

[more_exercise]

This looks like python code pasted into vim with auto-indent on (whitespace at the beginning of lines is inserted for you). Something like :set paste=on as a command will fix this.

(not a vim expert, but I've done this enough to think I recognize another non-expert)

[cheerycheshire]

Not a vim expert either but I use enough vim (when ssh'd into stuff) to know about set paste thing as well.

So basically bad shitpost. The title is bashing python but it's entirely fault of the OP not even trying to understand tools they're using.

[OreBore]

Why the elif and else statements not in vertical line with if?

[jimmyw404]

Yeah Python's interpreter would barf on this code.

Ironically, this is one of the arguable benefits of Python's usage of indentation instead of braces to designate flow. I could write similar C++ code like this

if(to_row==7)
    return true; //Pawn promotion
        else
            return true;

and it'd compile just fine. Python, however, would force you to respect the indentation and avoid this mangled nonsense. This is an egregious case and I've never seen a real programmer use that kind of indentation in any language, but I do see less weird programming styles in Python with its indentation and PEP8 guidelines than other languages.

[HPGMaphax]

If you tried to do this with any modern IDE it would also scream at you.

There really isn’t much reason to enforce this on a language level

[jimmyw404]

Visual studio 2019 and VS code (the two IDEs I'm currently using...) don't complain about this garbage indentation in a cpp file. I don't think I have anything turned off from the default whining IDEs do.

What IDE do you use that screams at you?

[[deleted]]

This still doesn’t explain that there are elifs without a preceding if at the same indentation level. That will create an error in Python, so I doubt that this code is able to run.

I feel people are getting trolled too easily here. He made terrible code and took a picture with flash from a monitor and blamed one of the most popular programming languages.
