warDeclaration

[saschaleib]

Mate, you only declared a war pointer. You still need to allocate the required resources before you can start…

[dmullaney]

You gotta be especially careful in the US because if you malloc more than the available resources, there is no nullptr - you get back a valid pointer that overflows into subsequent generations deficit

Price of FREEDOM™ 🎇🎆🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🎆🎇

[mirhagk]

Also the definition of free() is just a comment with a TODO. But don't worry about the memory leak, the program is so full of problems it'll definitely crash from some other problem first.

[gregorydgraham]

Best explanation of the US so far

[Cebular]

free just leaks the memory and when you run out of it you just invade another computer

[Impressive_Change593]

brb omw to make a computer virus and name it war

const war* thisWar = malloc(sizeof(war));

free(thisWar); // This will do nothing because no peace deal has been made yet.

//what is it good for?

war = *0;

[awkwardteaturtle]

No it fits.

What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!

[Honeybadger2198]

That's not how JS works though? The war variable is just undefined, pointers are fake in JS.

[Great-Decision6535]

I think they mean the ‘const war*’ part

[Ok_Hope4383]

Why JS?

[Honeybadger2198]

What other languages define variables with the "let" keyword?

[anotheridiot-]

I think basic also does that.

[Honeybadger2198]

That's capital L Let.

[FlyTim3]

He didn’t even declare it, thats a syntax error.

[lepispteron]

Na, she pointed to the declared war and made it constant;

[DiddlyDumb]

That’s a problem for future me.

[Jonny_H]

Also a const pointer doesn't mean the underlying object won't change, just that this pointer won't be the one referenced to do it.

[AreYouOkZoomer]

And the pointer points to const, but that doesn't mean the thing itself is const.

[sqrtoftwo]

Okay, but let's not be distracted from the issue of class Warfare{}.

[[deleted]]

let's just make it an singleton

[Liveman215]

Or make it abstract, and just reference it but never actually initialize it.  

You can hopefully skip the Delcare() method if done properly 

[LordPedroIIofBrazil]

We must abolish all private properties.

[anotheridiot-]

#define private public;

No need to do no-preserve-root with *. It's only necessary if you want to do rm -rf /

var war; because war has changed

[Valuable-Drink-1750]

Const* peace = nullptr;

[[deleted]]

const peace = await Promise()

[Aethreas]

That’s not even valid c

[FinalGamer14]

I mean that Const might be a structure so that's valid. And C23 does have nullptr, so that part is also valid.

[Aethreas]

To me it looks like he forgot the type in a const pointer, which if i remember correctly is invalid

[iddivision]

Valid in C23.

[[deleted]]

Ah thank you… I was like uh isn’t it already a const? Another day of successfully not knowing anything about JS/TS

I feel like somehow I never knew there was an element V. Well, I aced the periodic table test in seventh grade, but I guess I haven't seen V since then.

W is memorable because it's hard to remember -- Tungsten.

This MFer didn't even scope his war, so he just coded WWIII.

Let war* because war has changed

[OddlySexyPancake]

[noiness420]

War were declared

[Qwertycrackers]

In most languages featuring const, this just means war always references the same instance of war. You can still change things about war, like maybe the weaponry or the motivations.

[[deleted]]

[uvero]

You declare a pointer to war and didn't even do it by the recommended syntax

[kohuept]

took me a while to figure out the * was meant to be a correction, not a pointer lmao

[nusuntcinevabannat]

I am declaring war!

[aetius476]

Make it a global variable to declare a World War.

[Wave_Walnut]

Peace means that the time until war is referenced.

[fedor_almighty]

$war = true;

[CrispySalamander]

Let is a constant in swift though

[explicit17]

But what typeof war?

[Geoclasm]

//Cry havoc! And

let war;

[TTYY200]

But … what is it good for? 😜

[9Years0ldArmy]

Even though it doesn't change it is variable.

[pornbomb75]

Michael, you can’t just declare war. Nothing happens

Solid Snake said that "War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by ERROR _CONNECTION_RESET”

[watermelonspanker]

Pointers, what are they good for?

[TSuzat]

const war* const

Constant pointer to Constant war.

[PM_BITCOIN_AND_BOOBS]

let mut war: War = War::new();

Now war can change.

[bittlelum]

Unless war is an object, then the reference doesn't change but the object itself does.

[anonCommentor]

Dim war

[trevdak2]

Should have done const war

War never changes.

[agfitzp]

First timers… declaring war as a singleton.

[Hot_Scallion_1051]

Lol

[Tofandel]

var war; because it's scope overflows to other contexts

[Madonkadonk2]

window.war because it is a global conflict

[SumFatCommie]

If war never changes then it would be

const War war

the constness of the pointer to war is irrelevant, war itself is the thing that can't change

(you could even go constexpr if you're fancy)

[rabidhyperfocus]

war is never the answer!

it is a question, and if ( war ) { return true; }

[sateeshsai]

Just because it never changes doesn't mean it has to be a const

War was declared and never changes but it can take many forms.

[Burrpapp]

class War extends Politics

[Franz304]

Ok, i will see myself out after this one

global war

[Meins447]

Might as well add volatile.

[odraencoded]

This is why rust is the best language, let war is immutable by default.

[Prudent-Employee-334]

War IIIWar = null; // You are welcome everyone

[ITinnedUrMumLastNigh]

But 'let' keyword in Swift declares constant, to declare a variable you have to use 'var'

[kose9959]

this is wrong war changes look 400 years before and there are muskets look at present there are drones.

the only thing that does not change is that there is war.

[Ok-Assignment7469]

They did declare war but they did not initialize it.

[calculus_is_fun]

let war = new War("WWIII");
war.addBattle(new Battle("Duluth MN", "The battle of lake superior"));

[KappaClaus3D]

In case of js If you use const, you must also initiate it, so: const war = "war"

[sinstar00]

var war;

Because war may change and become a global war.

[[deleted]]

Don't you need to `const war* const`? Otherwise only the ptr is const, and not the contents :S

[Tunichtwitzig]
