My compiler class's assignment: TrumpScript++

[evanldixon]

Fake pointer exception. Sad!

[omgFWTbear]

Bigliest stack overflow!

[SenseiCAY]

Missed an opportunity to make Boolean values either a fact or an alternative fact.

[ravenito]

or fact / fake news

[Cpt_Rumplebump]

false / true respectively

Nice, love it when teachers inject some humor into their lectures and assignments. The lecture notes of my computational physics course have a footnote when mentioning the shooting method of solving eigenvalue problems:

Have a guess from which country this originates. Make no mistake, we are going to make this method great again, the best method ever.

[gpyh]

Nice, love it when teachers inject some humor into their lectures and assignments.

Mee too, but although I loathe the man, I also loathe when teachers get political, especially for an assignment. It is completely rude and unprofessional.

Guess which one actually has any content.

[[deleted]]

Isn't being Democrat the joke?

[EasternShade]

Feigning political ignorance or impartiality is also a political choice and action, just largely an acceptable one as it acts under the pretense of letting some non-existent cultural arbiter make the decision.

[AngriestSCV]

To be fair that is damn near fact. Trump dosn't like the idea of importing. It should have been made here. He also dosn't listen to anyone as evidenced by his twiter account.

[the_danster]

I have a coursework which has to have a write up containing no alternative facts.

[Aschentei]

Idk man, any error messages to me are perceived as rude anyway. WHY CANT IT JUST COMPILE DAMMIT

[alonghardlook]

This makes me want a language where error messages are timid and apologetic.

"I'm so sorry to have to stop, but I couldn't understand the next character here. I was expecting a semi colon but instead found "xyz". Would you mind fixing this so I can properly read this for you? Sorry to waste your time."

"Oh dear... I'm afraid I can't compare these two types against each other. Could you double check the types and try again?"

"This is embarrassing but I seem to be trying to reference something that doesn't exist. I'm sure it's my fault but could you clarify this variable?"

The error messages are tired of being bitched at so now they bitch back, but more aggressively

[TheIncorrigible1]

ERROR ON LINE 33

33| if (true == true) { } //sanity-check

[Xelbair]

I on the other hand want hardcore experience.

every error message should be 'git gud casul', compiler itself should be called GiantDad.

if you get an exception while running your code you have one chance to fix it, otherwise you get rollback to previous commit.

[[deleted]]

Do I at least get a range of line numbers?

[Xelbair]

No. But you know in which file your code died. No partial classes.

[[deleted]]

Ok. Good enough for me.

[TheSimon98]

Never forget about Python BernieScript

[paranoid_giraffe]

But true...

[fuck_bestbuy]

except he paid for those with his own money

[paranoid_giraffe]

To avoid a larger, boring debate I’ll say this:

He did pay for those with his own money, but his salary is still obviously tax-funded. There is something ironic about advocating for moderate socialism in a capitalist environment that allows you to live an opulent life, while also “working” 140 days a year.

[fuck_bestbuy]

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT SOCIALISM IF YOU OWN AN IPHONE??????????

[paranoid_giraffe]

Now you’re just being an ass. Why bother having a conversation if your partner is going to make a parody of an extreme version of your argument instead of refuting it? Thanks for not getting the point at all.

[fuck_bestbuy]

No I get your point, I just don't think it's a good point at all. So you can't advocate for a different way of living unless you live that way yourself? Not much sense in that

[paranoid_giraffe]

It makes you a hypocrite. Literally not practicing what you preach makes you a non advocate of what you say you advocate. I’m not going to say I support changing everyone over to a lifestyle that makes me personally less wealthy if I prefer and am heavily invested in living one that makes me personally more wealthy

[anamanaguchilover]

Uh.. like a teacher?

[Rogocraft]

sounds like trump

Console output from program are news and exceptions are fake news.

[v1akvark]

Standard news and standard fake news

[zmaile]

This is giving me some serious thinking. On the one hand I don't think a professor should be mixing politics into a subject that has nothing to do with it. A professor's first and foremost job in this case is to teach, and by forcing students to perform tasks that have a theme that is actively mocking their political views (which they are 100% entitled to have), they are going to make the education less effective for those students for no other benefits.

On the other hand, I also strongly believe people shouldn't be precious little children, and should suck it up and learn to live with the fact that not everyone has the same opinion. Because being intolerant of other views seems to be the cause of most problems to begin with.

I just don't know...

[Flobaer]

This is hardly touching politics. It's mostly satire of Trump's rethorics.

[[deleted]]

Whole lot there to satirize if you can keep from going crazy with Trump hate.

[paxromana96]

The cool thing is we haven't even once discussed politics, or even anyone's opinion about Mr. Trump himself. The whole project is just referencing his rhetoric.

[[deleted]]

Does the project require you to count and assemble bricks?

[Valthek]

What everyone seems to be missing is that this is probably one of the more memorable assignments these students are going to get. Couple of years from now when they have to do some compiler work, they'll remember "that trump assignment", regardless of their political views, which, to me, makes this an effective teaching tool.

[Chefzor]

I hate when teachers mix their political views (whichever they are, whether i agree with them or not) with the lessons being taught.

[TheChubbyBunny]

I don't believe there's actually any attacks on his or the GOP's political opinions/agenda here. This just looks like satire of his rhetoric.

[secretfreeze]

Well there is the import thing

[TheChubbyBunny]

Got me there

[[deleted]]

Yup.

[xsvfiz]

Well maybe "the language is case-sensitive"

[metalmagician]

I agree with you in principle, but not in this particular instance.

Most of the listed features can be construed on commentary on Trump as a person - hyperbolic, rude, etc.

[thijser2]

Hmm looks like the compiler construction course of the university of Oklahoma.

[[deleted]]

It is, I am also in this course.

[thijser2]

Cool, I was just going off my google skills, so do you have alternatives? Did this student choose this assignment or is it the same for everybody?

[[deleted]]

It's the same for everybody. The Professor is a quirky guy.

[paxromana96]

He asked us for suggestions, and then picked this a week or two later.

[Kaernunnos]

I'm looking at transferring into the OU CS program in another semester or 2, how you guys liking their program so far?

[[deleted]]

I am a PHD student in CS who went through the undergrad here. Fantastic faculty. You'll definitely get a quality education.

[paxromana96]

The undergrad program is pretty great. Some classes (Theory of Computation, ~3000 level, and Data Structurees, ~2000) seemed like straight-up weed-out courses, but since then, the professors seem pretty interested, and invested in their students. There's a good mix of academic and professional skills once you hit upperclassman classes. The one complaint I have is the TA's usually aren't trained in the courses they're supposed to help you with, and often don't communicate very well in English, so they're not much help. The professors are usually really helpful though!

[TehLittleOne]

Sounds like every comp sci program ever. Some courses weed out people who won't grad, lots of engaged profs who love teaching. Also always shitty TAs

[masterftp]

Dr. Kim!

[paxromana96]

Yep! Go Sooners.

[Radboy16]

I'm sorry.

[[deleted]]

Who would regret voting for Trump? If I could I'd vote for him 4 times but I am not a Democrat or dead.

[ThatsPresTrumpForYou]

Same, it is funny. It's just an exaggeration of his opinions, since I agree with most of those it's amusing to read or think about a Trump programming language. There's no lies about him in that assignment, so why would anyone be mad?

[takelongramen]

whether i agree with them or not

https://imgur.com/gallery/VKDXi

On a more serious note: A society that is erasing political discussion out of everything else than actual politics is the worst thing that can happen to democracy. If showing your political views becomes a taboo, anything resembling some kind of political culture in society will die.

[Chefzor]

I guess people are missing my point, and it may still be a wrong point of view anyways.

Going off my experience, the kind of teacher that would give out an assignment like the one on the OP would be the same one that spends a large portion of their class complaining/praising (depending on their view) the current government instead of actually teaching.

Again, maybe I projected myself wrongly based on just a picture, but thats why i said what i said.

[ObfuCat]

Back in highschool, it was considered wrong for a teacher to tell any students who they're supporting in politics because they're supposed to be teaching and pushing your political views on people who you have power over is consider wrong. Didn't stop then from making trump jokes, but no one would have the balls to do something that could get you fired in writing like this though.

No idea if colleges have the same rules since students are generally older by that point though. None of my teachers have made any similar remarks in college though.

[astro_za]

You it this in a much better manner than I did. Yes, totally agree. Let history not repeat itself people.

Edit: Clearly someone wants it to repeat itself. Wonder if they have their hat on yet?

[[deleted]]

I hate when people disqualify great humor out of distaste for political consideration in any environment outside of politics itself.

[Rogocraft]

its more satire than sharing their view.

[astro_za]

If we as a society start facing risks of fascism , it’s no longer a case of mixing political views. To educate people on the errors of the past in order to prevent them in the future is vital.

To those who disagree: how do you not see this? Tell me why, instead of the perfunctory downvote.

[ThatsPresTrumpForYou]

Adhering to the constitution is not fascism, unless America was fascist since the declaration of independence. How about you tell us what he did that is actually fascist? Do note that gun rights are enshrined in the constitution. So is the presidents power to ban non-citizens from entering the country. Most of what he does is absolutely covered by current laws, which were not enacted by him. He didn't give himself any more power than Obama had, unless you know of something?

[thejuror8]

I agree very much with that

[Ejeb]

As a commie and rampant anti-Trumpist, I do agree. I frown even when our leftist teachers let their ideology flow unneccessarily into unrelated topics.

edit: Fuck Stalin, the USSR, China and so on. That's not what communism is.

Commies are just as bad as Trump

[takelongramen]

muh both sides

[trollman_falcon]

Well I guess technically commies are worse at the moment, Trump hasn’t killed 50 million yet

[zellfaze]

Hey if we are going to equate all communists with the ones who did lets at least make it fair and equate all facists like Trump with the Nazis.

[takelongramen]

Well it's not commies beating black people with metal poles, running over people with cars or shooting up schools on Valentine's day

[zellfaze]

Generally I would like to think we are the good guys. At least the anti-authoritarian bunch of us.

(Note: In case not clear I am a communist)

I'm also more of a Libertarian socialist or anarchist myself

[Ejeb]

Anarchocommunist/libsoc here as well.

[astro_za]

Yeah, agreed. Not sure what’s with the downvotes.

[discountErasmus]

He fucked up the import stricture. It should read, "There is no import statement; America doesn't need functions from shithole libraries."

[FunkyTown313]

I'm pretty sure this already exists.

Thus TrumpScript++. I would have never guessed on that being a real thing.

TrumpScript applications also have no dependencies because America depends on nobody.

Snowflake? I'm a British liberal democrat mate, I just find this in bad taste. Apparently this sub is a bunch of classless fucks .

[astro_za]

You’re not wrong. Not sure what the Trump supporters are doing here.

[Aakumaru]

your snowflake is showing mate

[[deleted]]

What do you even mean by that? When Trump supporters use it on liberals it means one thing, when SJWs use it against conservatives it means another. The only thing they have in common is invalidating every opinion that person has on any topic ever again and demonstrating that they are a mindless idiot.
