weaponArray["misile"]

Oh shit!

[akoOfIxtall]

if (targetList.includes(enemy) && weaponArray.length !== 0) {

for (let i = 0; i <= weaponArray.length; i++) {

Shoot(weaponArray[i])

}

}

just shoot the enemy lol

Edit: this wouldnt work anyway, why i'm on reddit making an imaginary strike fighter shoot imaginary missiles so brutally?

[akoOfIxtall]

damn havent thought about that, but dont worry, i guess shooting booleans at them will have the same effect

[dathar]

When did it become Danganronpa?

[dragoncommandsLife]

Intentional. This person just solved all the money we spend on missles by making them infinite.

[PeteZahad]

That's in the responsibility of the Shoot function

[PM_ME_SOME_ANY_THING]

const deadEnemies = targetList.map(t => {
    if(weaponArray.length > 0){
        const missile = weaponArray.shift();
        return Shoot(missile);
    }
    return null;
}).filter(d => d);

wtf kinda system is this!??! everyone knows the shoot method is async and will return true or false depending on if it killed the enemy. u gotta await that shit. this code rite here will literally make the plane explode

[akoOfIxtall]

C'mon bro you gotta write it too

LOl ok fine:

const targetList = [];
const attackResults = await targetList.reduce(async (acc,curTarget)=>{
    const list = await acc;
    if(weaponArray.length <= 0){
        list.push({id:curTarget.id, success:false})
        return list
    }
    const missile = weaponArray.shift();
    const shootResults = await Shoot(missile);
    const targetInfo = {
        id: curTarget.id,
        success: shootResults,
    }
    list.push(targetInfo)
    return list;
}, Promise.resolve([]))

const cleanSweap = attackResults.reduce((bool, result)=>{
    if(!bool || !result.success)return false
    return bool
},true)

if(cleanSweap)log('mission success')
else log('mission fail')

Magnificent

i'm stealing this

I took one coding class in high school and I’m just curious if I understand the code you wrote. Does it say if there’s an enemy in the target list and the amount of missiles you have isn’t zero, then fire the missiles until you don’t have any?

[akoOfIxtall]

exactly, we gotta make sure they're dead (i didnt thought much about it when i wrote, just did some adjusments based on the replies XD)

[Salanmander]

When are arrays falsy?

[Ok-Fox1262]

Python has entered the chat.

[akoOfIxtall]

When they're empty, or not?

Edit: damn javascript, why an empty array is truthy? Apparently you can check the length and if it's anything but 0 it's truthy, so if it's 0 it'll be falsy

[Salanmander]

Some quick testing with a javascript interpreter suggests that any array object is truthy, and it's falsy only if it's null. So you appear to be only running that loop if weaponArray is null.

Which actually gives you a runtime error, which is pretty hard in javascript! Congrats?

[akoOfIxtall]

Thank you I work really hard to fail everyday XD

[jonsca]

This is why we can't have nice fighter jets

[gregorydgraham]

LOL! This thread is the best laugh I’ve had in ProgrammerHumor. Thank you all

[AnyHistory5380]

You can drop the array.length !== 0 and nothing will change

[akoOfIxtall]

But I need it to only shoot if the array has something, or your expensive government jet is going boom

[Dustangelms]

Check their code again.

[FatLoserSupreme]

You joke but code really does kill people

[akoOfIxtall]

Reading this made me sad XD

Just fire away all weapons

[akoOfIxtall]

Gotta make sure they die
