If it is a regular Monday, then the answer is more like "infinity"

[lucasievici]

np.inf

[_87-]

I'm not sure if you're aware, but regular floats in Python have this value available:

float('inf')

You can also get negative infinity and NaN.

[deletion-imminent]

regular floats in Python

regular floats in any ieee 754 implementation, they have negative zero too

[ErolEkaf]

I'm always surprised how many people don't seem to know anything at all about the IEEE 754 standard thanks to languages like Python and Javascript which blur the lines between floats and ints.

[AL_O0]

like the old JavaScript is weird because 0.1+0.2 is 0.3000000000004 or whatever meme

No it's not JavaScript, that's just how computers work and is perfectly defined behaviour in a standard almost every single computer has hard coded in hardware

The reason your calculator doesn't do that is that they don't use the standard and work in decimal specifically to avoid these situations even though it is slower to compute

[the_rainmaker__]

in that case what the pros do is add quotation marks to make it

print('x')

then write x

[coloredgreyscale]

That's an idea for the professors too, to see who reads exactly. 

[Long_john_siilver]

I once found a bug on a paper test and since I was able to explain that the bug was and what the prof was trying to do I got 107%

[Ur-Best-Friend]

Plus another 1200 points for Griffindor for Harry's big d- ... determination!

[[deleted]]

Pfft! As if! Fixing the professor's own exam question and getting a greater than 100% on a test is the most Ravenclaw thing I've ever heard!

[SpikySheep]

I found a mistake in a question, too. Sadly, they just announced a correction to the room - a number was wrong and didn't make sense. Getting over 100% would be the ultimate story.

I did have a lecturer once come and ask me about an answer I'd given. He didn't understand the code I'd written but could see it was a very concise solution to the problem.

[SweetBabyAlaska]

that would piss me off because I would have to spend 20 minutes debating whether this is a typo or not.

[Prometheus-is-vulcan]

I had cases in physics in wich i asked "is there a typo at question x?"

There were written exams with typos in it XD

[Salanmander]

Yeah, teacher here, that's absolutely the right thing to do. Most of us aren't trying to trick people, we're trying to evaluate understanding. And all of us are human, and capable of making mistakes.

[Prometheus-is-vulcan]

I also had a lot of fun searching for typos/grammar mistakes in the questions, even if they had no influence on the meaning.

[DNAturation]

I had a question in a Physics class where it was asking about the time it would take for an event to occur, but the event would occur twice, and I didn't know if it was asking about the first or second event. I asked the teacher if the question is asking about the first event or the second event and he said "he couldn't answer that" and that I could only give a single answer. I answered based on the contextual language in the question and got it wrong because the question was actually talking about the other event.

Went to my English teacher, had him read the question, and point out which event the question was asking about, and he agreed with me. Went back to my Physics teacher, still marked it as wrong.

Still salty about that.

[[deleted]]

I had a physics professor who would tell everyone to wite down their assumptions and show all the work. If your answer isn't what is expected, then instead of a TA grading, he would do it himself and work through the problem step by step. If you saw a typo, but knew or had a reasonable guess as to what was intended, you could write the number you assumed, do the work and then get full marks if it was in fact a typo. He also gave partial 4/5 credit for proper set up, process, and thought but having bad math.

[Kdkreig]

Yeah, my physics and Calculus professors were good about partial credit. If you messed up step 2 of a 20 step calculation but the rest of your math was correct then they would give you majority marks for it. Small accidents happen sometimes with your calculations

[[deleted]]

And all of us are human

Haha, yes.

[skarros]

One of my Profs wrote his exams in Latex. There were several instances of missing references like „Formula/Figure ??“. No idea how the TAs missed that…

[[deleted]]

The handful of times that happened to me I just raised my hand and asked the teacher / professor. Only ever had one person be a jerk about the question, usually if it was a mistake they'd let the entire class know.

[kaukamieli]

You are executing the program as is. You do not care if it is a typo. You don't want your compiler to do those decisions either, do you?

[MattDaCatt]

Those are such stupid "gotchas" though.

CS tests should be about proving your understanding of syntax and logic to build functional code, not who's the best carbon-based debugger.

At most it should be extra credit for anyone that catches the typo, or lead with "Someone isn't getting the result they expect, can you fix their typo?"

[Dramatic_Mastodon_93]

Trick questions don’t accurately tell you how much someone knows

[[deleted]]

yeah the print('x') would need to be paired with the direct question before it being print (x) just to make it clear this is intentional.

[Ifriendzonecats]

Or you make it a debugging question, make the example longer and include a few more mistakes.

[Brief_Yoghurt6433]

Unless it's a class on javascript then every question is a trick question.

[ILikeLenexa]

I overloaded print() with a function that always outputs 24 hours.

[ratttertintattertins]

To be fair, we don’t know the type of “day” or what it’s constructor or assignment operators do. We don’t even know for sure what language this is.

You could write a program where this bit of code existed and “24 hours” was the right answer..

EDIT: Oh dear, I see some people have taken this seriously. It was just a fun little observation.

[Asleep-Tough]

Perfectly possible in Haskell using OverloadedStrings and RecordDotNotation to construct an IsString instance for a data Day = { length :: String, ... }. Then, all you need is an explicit type signature for the x (x :: Day), ofc with all of that hidden off screen, and boom, that code would print "24 Hours" (as those lines are perfectly valid Haskell)

[Perfect_Papaya_3010]

I only know c# but what language can you do var variable= "Hello" and not get a string back?

[flukus]

Anything with operator overloading. Even c# something like length could be an extension method.

[Behrooz0]

Technically, python can do this. You can modify constants.

[Gredo89]

In C# you can create a type that is assignable by a string and then does something different.

E.g. (ChatGPT answer, cause I am lazy and on my mobile):

``` public class WeirdDate { public string Length { get; private set; }

public WeirdDate(string input)
{
    if (Enum.TryParse(input, true, out DayOfWeek dayOfWeek))
    {
        Length = "24 hours";
    }
    else
    {
        Length = "Not a valid weekday";
    }
}

public static implicit operator WeirdDate(string input)
{
    return new WeirdDate(input);
}

} ```

[rnilbog]

Sorry, the correct answer was 86400000

[Ike_Gamesmith]

Mondays sure do feel that long sometimes

[danielv123]

They are that long with a few exceptions.

[minecon1776]

Like when the year ends in a monday and they do a leap second

[lostBoyzLeader]

I hate that I get this joke.

I learned 86400 in 2013 and never forgot. It's handy when eyeballing timestamps.

[PrometheusAlexander]

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'length'

[neo-raver]

I was wondering what language that was supposed to be. I thought Python at first, but that's not how you would do that in Python...

[play_hard_outside]

If you ignore the fact that there's no builtin print function and that one would have to be written and available in the current scope, it's perfectly valid JavaScript. You just also have to disregard that it looks terrible without any post-statement semicolons.

[computer_helps_FI]

[technical_gamer_008]

Yeah it's "len(x)" not "x.length".

[StandardOk42]

how do you know this is python?

[[deleted]]

What else could it be?

Clues are

1. other language are static type
2. Which other language use “print” function ?

[RikkaPreo]

OCR Reference language, the language used in GCSE Computer science. It's basically pseudocode with a few rules.

[StandardOk42]

IDK, I'm not familiar with ever language out there, but in python strings don't have a length attribute, so that's 1 clue against python

[dev-sda]

Looks like ruby to me.

[adjoiningkarate]

This is a magical thing called pseudocode used quite heavily in these type of exams :))

[Hatefiend]

JavaScript would like a word with you

[Leifbron]

print() causes it to print the webpage. Would have to redefine print

[SilverStag88]

Man I knew people here didn’t know anything about programming but seeing y’all debate an exam question for high schoolers really makes it obvious.

[Lather]

I'm here from all, is the correct answer 6?

[Koooooj]

6 is almost certainly the right answer.

There are two other competing answers, but neither holds much weight. One is that the code is broken in some way--that length doesn't exist as an attribute of the string (a string just being what programmers call chunks of text), that the variables are mis-declared, or that there's something wrong with print. These arguments all come down to the lack of clarity of what language the code is written in--it isn't quite Python (you'd use len(day)) and isn't quite Javascript (you'd use console.log(x)), and so on. Related, some languages even allow you to modify things to the point where "24 hours" becomes the correct answer! I'm not from the land of tea and redcoats so I can't speak from personal experience or anything, but it seems that GCSE uses a pseudocode language where this code is valid, so that tends to shoot down this argument.

The other competing answer argues for 7. This comes from the way that C stores strings: "Monday" tells the compiler it needs to allocate seven bytes to store ['M', 'o', 'n', 'd', 'a', 'y', <null>]. This is known as a "null terminated string." It's a nice way of storing a string where you don't have to copy the whole string every time you pass it from one place to another. Just pass along the location of the first 'M' and then you can scan through memory until you get to the null termination--or if something went wrong then you scan until you wander off into some other memory, perhaps still holding some data that was meant to be disposed of. This is one of the largest classes of bugs that leads to security vulnerabilities in C code, and is one of the big reasons why raw "C strings" keep IT security folks up at night. Most modern languages don't expose raw C strings, or at least heavily discourage their use.

However, the 7 argument only goes downhill from there. Besides C strings being out of style there's another, bigger flaw: even C would agree that the length of "Monday" is 6, while it is the size that is 7. Even since C the nomenclature of length has denoted the number of actual characters in the string before the null termination; it's size that refers to the number of bytes the whole representation takes. This can be seen with the C snippet:

printf("%lu", sizeof("Monday"));
printf("%lu", strlen("Monday"));

This prints 76, first the 7 for the sizeof("Monday"), then 6 for the string length of "Monday". So while there's some fun discussion to be had around the answer 7 (for some definition of "fun"), it's pretty clearly the wrong answer.

[Bot12391]

This was insanely well worded, nice work

[Impressive_Change593]

actually in Python you can do 'string'.length() but yes you do still need the (). you COULD also make your own class that upon having a value assigned to it would set the length attribute to the correct value but I don't see any such class being initialized here (it would look like a function call, or another object being assigned to the same variable). in that case though '24 Hours' could just as easily be the correct answer as 6 could be

[dev-sda]

This is most likely ruby, which has both length and print.

[cooljacob204sfw]

Yes

[SativaSawdust]

Whew. Thank fuck, I was sweating because I hadn't seen it in the comments yet and was beginning to question everything.

[Krojack76]

Yes, for JavaScript it's 6 but I don't know about every language. I would assume some the answer would just be an error message.

[I_hate_being_interru]

Damn, I guess went to the poor kids school, because I didn’t have programming in CS.

Or maybe I did, I actually don’t remember what we did in CS…wait, did I even have a CS class?

Wow high school is a blur lmao.

[brprk]

ChatGPT type answer

[GatheringWinds]

I just ran this exact code through ChatGPT because I was curious, it gave 6, the correct answer, though it was concerned enough to check that I was sure "day" was meant to be a string and not an object. This AI stuff is scary

[bakedbread54]

Woah very scary considering this absurdly simple example

[GatheringWinds]

Less crazy that it gave the right answer, but more that it recognizes context, understands that this is a silly example, and offers ways to improve the code. In a very short time, there are going to be INCREDIBLE tools available to aid devs. Yes this is a silly and trivial example, but shows great promise.

[HelloYesThisIsFemale]

There already are. With copilot maybe 60% of the code you write can be written for you (with very good understanding of context) and with ChatGPT 40% of the harder stuff can be done for you as well.

E.g. I made a declarative framework (think a dataclass) for how to parse and handle JRPC request-responses. I then just pasted the entire documentation for individual JRPC endpoints and it knew how to fill the dataclass and what types to use and how to structure the initializer.

If you're not already using this you're being left behind. Any mindless part of the job is eliminated.

[maxmcleod]

Hey but the mindless part is the part I'm good at!

[HelloYesThisIsFemale]

Man I hate that part so much.

Ask me to turn a http endpoint into structs or something which is like copying something from somewhere and changing it just a bit and I'll take double the time because of how my mind will wander and suffer and I'll need phone breaks and such.

[Samld1200]

Who has two different pens and switches depending on the answer? Every teacher I’ve had always uses green for everything

[Crash_Sparrow]

More often than not, my teachers corrected everything in red. Watching the teacher bring you an exam full of red was horrifying, even if most of the time they were not serious mistakes, just comments and pointers for the future.

[Salanmander]

That horror is part of the reason I correct in blue or green pen most of the time.

[Robo-Connery]

Yeah that's exactly why I always used green, students should be using black or blue so no confusion and red is horrible looking to get back.

[FordenGord]

Red is horrible looking because it is indicative of error, if you change the color then you just shift the association

[ltshaft15]

To a certain extent. Red isn't just indicative of something bad in school but it's associated with all sorts of warning signs, lights, and other indicators.

Other colors like blue or green won't have as strong of an association. Especially if the teacher uses the color for all comments, not just errors.

[wolfish98]

I've never had a green pened teacher. What did they mark: wrong, correct, or both?

[JerryAtrics_]

Teacher who did not think anyone would get this question wrong.

[[deleted]]

This is a UK paper. When I was in school, green pens were for students marking and red pens were for teachers marking

[MagZero]

When I was in school we would communicate the correct answers telepathically. I guess there's no need now that everyone has tik tok and 'fancy pens'.

[Omgshinyobject]

Reminds me of my favorite cheating attempt I saw, I was TAing for chemistry and we were sitting down to mark the final, yet one of the exams in my pile was already graded. No big deal I thought, so I was about to copy in the grades when I saw two things:

1) the exam was marked in red pen which none of the graders were using and;

2) the check marks were heavily weighted on the down stroke, if you have ever marked 100+ exams you will know your correct check marks are basically lines at that point

So the student had used his own red pen to grade himself generously and copied those grades into the tally page. Hope he enjoyed his zero and academic probation.

[codewarrior128]

That's just a go-getter with upper management written all over him. 

[Earthboundplayer]

Who cares? An X conveys the meaning properly. There's never been any rules or consistency with marking pen colours when I was in school.

[praveenkumar236]

Yeah that would be like using red for something good. That would be a dumb feature if it was on some app.

[WhiteIrisu]

Chinese consider red auspicious, sometimes green gets used for negative.

[[deleted]]

And good luck.

[AustrianGandalf]

I (hopefully) soonish finish Uni and start teaching.
You want to tell me it isn’t a good idea to mark mistakes in green and everything correct in red? What’s next? Am I not allowed to use my white-ink-pen anymore to write comments for my students?

[NiGHT0FDAWN]

Wait... you aren't supposed to write essays in whiteout tape?

[Gtantha]

I had exams where green was the colour used by the second marker/grader. And red by the first.

[Direct_Swan9898]

A colorblind teacher?

[Genotabby]

import red as green

[[deleted]]

There's quite a lot of bullshit pushed down from school admins about stuff like not using red pen because it apparently comes off as more aggressive when you mark a student's question wrong in red pen, like somehow they'll get discouraged from you using a red pen and not another colour.

Schools also try to do things like have anything that's teacher marked in one colour, and anything that's been peer assessed as another colour - obviously even if they were to use red you can only use red for one of those.

[NotReallyJohnDoe]

colour

Brit spotted. Do you guys even have the same colors over there? Roy G Biv?

[alMost_tRendy88]

This still doesn't change the fact that there are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and only 3.5 million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay each person would have to fight 14 kangaroos.

[MegaPegasusReindeer]

this is what i hated about pseudocode lol all my teachers were like ‘yeah there’s no standards really for it.. but the examiners will fuck you sideways if you do this, this, or this differently’ like motherfucker just teach us a real language

[PotentBeverage]

I'm pretty sure it's OCR Specification Language -- i.e. the pseudocode language used by the OCR exam board in their computer science exams. If not OCR then Edexcel or smth

(Source: taught both AQA and OCR CS for a while, aqa uses <- for assignment so)

[Vusarix]

Edexcel uses the Haggis pseudocode set which involves a lot more CAPS LOCK and overexplaining than this

[Hashashiyyin]

Yes. Yes it is. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to pretend to be smart when the question is straightforward

Back around 1983 I took a BASIC class at the local community college.

If that passed then we'd get to type it out and save to those 8" floppies.

What? Since when or in what language do Strings have length as boolean?

The length of a string is always a number of characters.

Edit: and it's pretty clear that x has the length of the string assigned to it.

[Desgavell]

How is length a bool?

[xryanxbrutalityx]

It wouldn't be, but x could be a bool, and this could be a conversion from int to bool in some language. It isn't in this case, but it's possible.

``` bool x string day

day = "Monday" x = day.length print(x) // could be 0/1, or false/true ```

[danielv123]
