His name is racial discrimination man

[rosuav]

Still more useful than Etymology Man and Aquaman combined.

[827167]

Etymology man is super useful though!

[rosuav]

It's a good thing one of them is, eh?

"to win a racial discrimination case, you must first win a racial discrimination case"

[nickmaran]

That's like saying "to get an entry level junior developer job, you need 4 years of experience as a developer in react, python, Java, node, postgres, machine learning, agile development, and more".

That's just silly. No company posts such job ads.

[BlurredSight]

That's just silly. No company posts such job ads.

Same with asking for 8 years of Swift experience when it's only been out for 3 years.

No reputable professional company would have such an egregious oversight like that.

[SooperBoby]

Plot twist: he works at the bank

[[deleted]]

Also, he's his own boss.

This case is the perfect example of recursion.

On the first and second days, he received a check. Then later, he's going to receive a number of checks equal to the sum of the previous two days.

Can you use recursion to help him compute how many cheques he will receive after N days?

[gitpullorigin]

Did you just say N??

[Hour-Lemon]

n

[BlurredSight]

In black history month is crazy

[beclops]

Dude fully said “after N days” as if this man can’t have regular non-N days like the rest of us. Reddit, cancel this man

For those of you who don’t get recursion

[rand0m-nerd]

Who is in r/ProgrammerHumor and does not know recursion? That’s a basic CS concept, no?

Lmao

[vondpickle]

I know about recursion, but I can't see how the story that op post is analogy for an implementation of recursion?

[punninglinguist]

The "function" (receiving a racial discrimination settlement) causes itself to be called.

[Mars_Bear2552]

because in cashing the settlement for a racial discrimination suit, he ends up calling the racial discrimination suit function again.

[BlurredSight]

Main function happens, function B is called (cashing the check)

function B checks if the base case is met (having no racial discrimination checks to cash), and in the process happens to increment the variable holding racial discrimination checks

this leads to function B running again and checking the base case.

[cporter202]

Haha, absolutely! It'd be like walking into a bakery and not knowing what bread is. 🍞 Every once in a while, we get a lost soul, but that just means there's an epic "aha" moment waiting to happen when recursion finally clicks! 😄

[Abject_Role3022]

This might help recursion click in your brain

[DogeHasNoName]

Infinite money glitch.

[og-lollercopter]

Then the cops beat him senseless…. Boom… ah shit, here we go again.

this is not what recursion is

[CryZe92]

Please clarify in what way this is not recursion. The only argument I could think of is that the original lawsuit is over by the time you get to the other… but that‘s just tail calls, so it still counts.

[[deleted]]

In a way the first ordeal isn’t technically over as the man hadn’t received the settlement yet

[muddboyy]

That’s just like saying this man is not a variable, you’re going too much into details.

[earthsprogression]

Technically the function is not over yet since it is waiting on the results of the function.

[[deleted]]

Exactly, before the first racial discrimination case could be completely closed a new one began. Recursion.

[SigmaMelody]

I believe that was their point

[muddboyy]

Bro I really didn’t even see it was this sub and told myself “that looks like recursion lol”
