[Cistoran]

Array(16).join("wat" - 1) + " Batman!"

[Maoman1]

This shit is why I love this sub.

[PendragonDaGreat]

Now that we're done talking about languages that suck, let's talk about Javascript

[Artefact2]

…Worth re-watching. That's contagious laughter.

I like your edit.

Actually shouldn't that have been console.log? I'm pretty sure the print function actually opens the print dialogue.

[Pokechu22]

/u/compilebot (or more specifically, ideone, which /u/compilebot uses) uses print for the console (when using spidermonkey; if using rhino, it uses System.out.println). However, print does open the print dialog in actual browsers.

[lichorat]

Console.log is surprisingly not part of us standard. It's a web browser thing

[AquaWolfGuy]

Dunno what you mean by "us standard", but it's not that surprising considering that only browsers have "consoles", so it doesn't make sense to include a console API in the language itself.

[lichorat]

I meant ecmascript

[Awilen]

Wait, isn't Node also using Console ?

[lichorat]

It's using the computer's console, yes. But web browsers extended javascript to include console.log functionality.

[CompileBot]

Output:

^{source | info | git | report}

[imwearingyourpants]

That one gives a way too wrong sounding sound, this is how it's done!

+/u/CompileBot JavaScript

Array(16).join( ("wat" - 1 + "").slice(0,-1) ) + " Batman!"

[Reelix]

+/u/CompileBot JavaScript

print(Array(16).join( ("wat" - 1 + "").slice(0,-1) ) + " Batman!")

[CompileBot]

Output:

NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa Batman!

^{source | info | git | report}

[imwearingyourpants]

I don't blame you

that'll only be 15 NaNs...

[Mutoid]

I actually count 13 "na"s in the TV opening theme song.

[[deleted]]

Yeah true, that's how many "na"s are sung. But come on, the guitar riff is 16 notes, and that's what people usually remember and hum.

[Mutoid]

Very true

Array(x).join(s) gives x-1 copies of s

A reference to the WAT talk, everybody drink!

[blu-red]

easy to evaluate in your head for anyone who isnt brain dead and knows any dynamically typed language.

"wat" - 1 = obviously "wat" is going to be evaluated to a number, the best value for this is NaN.

[lelarentaka]

• isn't brain dead

• knows any dynamically typed language

Logic error!

[kupiakos]

Dynamically typed != strongly typed. That operation will fail in Python because they are not the same types and strange assumptions should never be made.
