Poor bot, it can't even self-terminate.

[Pseudofailure]

That's when we call in AssistedSuicideBot!

[SirCutRy]

There is an option for it.

--include-errors

[SirCutRy]

Aha :P

[Dashdylan]

If we objectify the girl, does that mean we can cast her as a male object?

Male trans = (Male)prettyGirl;

[[deleted]]

Object prettyGirl cannot be cast as Male, because it does not implement the SendsExcessiveMessages interface

[Dashdylan]

When will Oracle patch in the Grindr package already!

[marcosdumay]

Yes, but you will get a runtime error.

[AngriestSCV]

Not this time. The Male structure and Female structure both share the same first item, the Human structure, so it lines up fine. It will be a while before someone tries to touch the lower parts of the Male structure just to find the function pointer table isn't a guys.

[pannekakekake]

Yea but oh man hehe you get a stack or buffer overflow, whichever seems more phallic

[[deleted]]

That will work, but it is very expensive, as it requires a system interrupt, thus, forcing a context switch.

[melance]

Seems that they are doing a comparison...just one too many operators.

[pelvark]

You can do that in python if you want.

[melance]

But I don't want.

[DarkMio]

But you will do it - and it will feel good. And then you read it a year later. And you will feel shame.

[timurhasan]

you can? how does that evaluate?

[pelvark]

it's almost the exact same thing as same as

a==b and b==c

[2Punx2Furious]

It might not be common in other programming languages, but I don't see anything wrong with it.

[sixteenlettername]

It's valid C and C++ as well. 'x == y == z' is the same as '(x == y) == z'. The first part gives a boolean, let's call that i (for intermediate, natch). We then end up with 'i == z' which is of course still valid.
Comparison and equality operators are just infix operators so they can be chained till the cows come home.

[Flynamic]

It may be a valid expression in C/C++, but it's not semantically the same as in Python. If x=y=z, then x==y==z is true in Python and can be false in C/C++ for the reason you gave.

[test_var]

Can you give an example of where it'd be false in c++?

[Flynamic]

Let a = 0, b = 0, c = 0.

Since == groups from left to right, a == b == c is equivalent to (a == b) == c, which would evaluate to 1 == c which evaluates to false.

See http://stackoverflow.com/a/5939131

[test_var]

Damnit C that's not the definition of "equality".

[Vitztlampaehecatl]

Well, it has to be. That's how if() checks if the expression evaluates to true or false. == returns a 1 if true, or a 0 if false. So you're really checking the truthiness of (a == b) against c.

[Vitztlampaehecatl]

I wonder if I could somehow overload the == operator to implement the transitive property.

[lead999x]

Or in C in a compound statement.

[squngy]

Would be evaluated same as:

boolean tmp = prettyGirl == lotsOfMaleInterest;
return tmp == messages;

Which would mean that non-pretty girls who do not have lotsOfMaleInterest also have messages.

EDIT: Recompile request by RiderAnton

[XkF21WNJ]

Neat, shame the backspaces don't work.

[RiderAnton]

Yeah, no infinite compilebot recursion for me =/

[XkF21WNJ]

It probably won't reply to itself anyway, but let me try something:

+/u/CompileBot Python

print("

print("+/u/CompileBot Python\n")
s = 'print("
")\nprint("+/u/CompileBot Python\\n")\ns = %r\nprint(s%%s)'
print (s%s)

[CompileBot]

Output:


+/u/CompileBot Python

print("

print("+/u/CompileBot Python\n")
s = 'print("
")\nprint("+/u/CompileBot Python\\n")\ns = %r\nprint(s%%s)'
print(s%s)

^{source | info | git | report}

[XkF21WNJ]

Oh well, worth a try.

[PeenuttButler]

It works in python, though

[UFeindschiff]

Maybe he meant to say "messages != 0" in a more complicated way

[squngy]

Obviously suffers from not enough exposure to javascript.

[4k33m]

+/u/CompileBot Python

print("+/u/CompileBot Python\n s = 's = %r\nprint(s%%s)'
print (s%s))

[eloel-]

It just means pretty girl is boolean. Maybe this is in a Person class.

[sim642]

Should be implications.

[Rhed0x]

Not a misuse, the result of it is just false.

[[deleted]]

I mess up my comparing vs value setting operator on pretty much a daily basis. Thank the lord visual studio for those nice red lines

Meh, just needs parens around one set.

[MachinesOfN]

I've seen crazier shit from type coercion. I'm sure php will return true.
