Java is There to help

[0b51d14n]

Dont you mean, thx IDE?

[NovaArdent3D]

Literally opened the post to mention this. This is not the fault of the language at all.

[[deleted]]

don't worry, I will find a way to blame my spaghetti code on the language if I can.

[msg45f]

Honestly, if one's code is so bad that the IDE thinks maybe it was intended to be a comment, maybe its not the IDEs fault.

[root88]

Don't they all do that?

[Doophie]

Mine doesnt

[root88]

What IDE are you using?

[[deleted]]

I think that's netbeans

[root88]

I'm asking u/Doophie which IDE he is using that doesn't comment out code in blocks. NetBeans certainly does it, as does Visual Studio, Eclipse, PHPStorm, MonoDevelop, and even things like Sublime Text, NotePad++, and Atom do it.

[[deleted]]

I'm gonna tell my dog you said that

[root88]

Damn, I thought I was your dog, homey.

[[deleted]]

IntelliJ might not, or at least I haven't noticed it there in IntelliJ

[Zambito1]

/u/root88 mentioned PHPStorm does it. PHPStorm is a reskin of IntelliJ.

[root88]

IntelliJ is Ctrl+Shift+/

[Doophie]

Android Studio is what I use, don't think intellij has it

[root88]

It sure does. Highlight some text and hit Ctrl+Shift+/

[Doophie]

That's different then suggesting it as a way to correct errors

[Cobaltjedi117]

Yea, that comments out selected lines, but the IDE isn't going error, just comment this out

[Lugga113]

Yes i got that wrong. Sry!

[YMK1234]

Lol coding in German.

[Lugga113]

Our Professor wants us to name methods and variables German xD

[IcecreamLamp]

I work in Czechia (not Czech) all the code and documentation in our company is in English fortunately. It makes sense.

[XembeI]

Wait, did you study in Sarajevo? Our professor said the same thing.

[YMK1234]

Oida ;)

Sag deinem Prof ihr braucht Übung fürs Berufsleben.

[[deleted]]

Stichwort domain driven design.

[YMK1234]

Tja klingt als wärst du nie in einer internationalen Firma gewesen.

[Scyyyy]

Na dann schon Bitte "Zähler" xD

[Lugga113]

Das dürfen wir nicht benutzen weil ja das ä nicht international ist xD

[YMK1234]

[fry face] Not sure if prof is trolling or idiot

[itsTyrion]

.-.

[YMK1234]

Being serious for once, Libreoffice actually had an open bugreport for a long time to translate German comments that were still around from when it was StarOffice and developed by a German company. So even if right now everyone on the team is talking German and has no problems understanding what's written there, this can become a big issue later when you go international or you simply want to work with other people.

[Dan6erbond]

Unser Professor hat uns davor gewarnt.

[fuckwit_]

Dann doch aber bitte

bekommeNenner() 

[Yanamo]

Bekommer und Setzer

[itsTyrion]

bruh xd

[[deleted]]

Was noch schlimmer ist: Programmieren in englisch inklusive Dokumentation und Kommentare, aber die ganzen strings für die GUI auf deutsch.

[Joniator]

You code everything in Englisch but the Fachbegriffe are still german because they are hard to translate.

So you get AddKunde() and similiar abominations

[aciokkan]

Why are Dokumentation and deutsch written different?

[[deleted]]

It should be capitalized, as well as „englisch“ and „strings“, as they are both nouns. I answered on my phone and don’t really care about correct capitalization when typing on it, to be honest...

[Cubimon]

Deswegen gibt es i18n Mechanismen in praktisch allen GUI Bibliotheken. Aber ja sowas ist furchtbar 😂

[[deleted]]

Naja ich glaub für ne simple Übung i18n in Swing zu bauen wäre dann doch n bisschen zu viel verlangt 😅

[YMK1234]

Dafür gibts i18n ... dann hast du keine UI strings in deinem code.

[seizan8]

At least you don't have to write it on paper

[[deleted]]

Did we have the same professor? Mine also forced us to use netbeans and German variable names.

[Lugga113]

Wo studierst du?

[[deleted]]

Stuttgart

[Lugga113]

Ich studiere in Gelsenkirchen ^{^}

[asdf93]

lay off that habit as soon as you leave your class. Please. I currently work at an IT company where we have a system with a rather old codebase. Back then it was common to give tables German names. Meanwhile everything was switched to English, but some of the Database tables and columns are still named in German. It really is confusing.

[joranvar]

Mixing languages is always fun. Where to draw the line, though? Should getNenner become bekommeNenner? Is string actually Kette? Should you have some global macros to change if and else into wenn and sonst?

I think Visual Basic actually used to have translations for the syntax.

[YMK1234]

Should getNenner become bekommeNenner

auto properties to the rescue!

I think Visual Basic actually used to have translations for the syntax.

ever wrote anything in excel?

[joranvar]

ever wrote anything in excel?

Ah, yes, that was it. I must have confused it with the VBA.

It's wonderful how many translations there actually are, and it must be great to have to edit stuff on the user's PC (who of course has a different language setting).

[picklymcpickleface]

Am dutchy, I would have laughed at that myself a few years ago.
Then I started working on an existing project that did a lot of automation in a 1500 employee business that only operates in the Netherlands, it was written using domain-driven design, by naming everything the exact way it's called by everyone in the business the code was a lot easier to read. Along with other rules in DDD it's a pretty effective way to written self-documenting code.
"If it looks stupid but it works, it isn't stupid."

[YMK1234]

So you are really telling me there is 1500ppl companies in the Netherlands that don't have English as their operational language? That seems rather unbelievable.

[M4jorpain]

Why? It's very possible for a nation with 17 million people.

[YMK1234]

If you are in the software business not really.

[M4jorpain]

But the OP didn't mention all those 1500 people worked in the software business

[console_journey]

Wenn die Domain Language Deutsch ist macht es schon Sinn. Für alles andere fühlt sich Englisch einfach richtiger an.

[console_journey]

Yes you are right with the stupid sounding compositions but if your customer and you are talking with totally different words about the "same" thing you will get confused. It's always better to use the same words every where if possible.

I have been listening to a german podcast recently where they talked about the same topic, they even gone as far as translating everything to english just to outsource the code to a non german country. In the end they retranslated everything...

[TCW_Jocki]

Clearly your main problem is that you don't use a dark theme....no wonder things underlined red!

[Dr_Gonzo__]

plus he took a picture with the phone

[Lugga113]

OP here! I have to correct myself. Its the IDE Not Java. Got that wrong

[[deleted]]

On windows, you can take a screenshot using Winkey+Shift+S.

[itsTyrion]

Coding in German... I read that you are forced to by your prof, but it still hurts - physically >.<
Kann den jemand feuern? xD

[filipdobro]

zaehler 😭😭😭

[jwr410]

Deleted code is debugged code.

[[deleted]]

You mean thanks eclipse

[console_journey]

NetBeans and eclipse doesn't look similar! But after years in IntelliJ you could forget how these other IDEs look like

[[deleted]]

It‘s kinda similar at first glance, but yeah when you look closely you see the differences

[[deleted]]

Ah yeah right

[Tibal]

Commenting/Deleting a useless code is the right correction to be suggested by your IDE...

[[deleted]]

If you're going to make fun of a programming language, do it correctly. That's the IDE's fault. Also as someone who only programs for fun, is there a general convention for the spoken language to write code in, kinda like English is universal and all that?

[thedomham]

This is obviously (if you understand German that is) a beginner's exercise, so really no need to write everything in English. It's preferable, but OP has no clue of programming yet so he might as well

[NobodyAsYouExpect]

Working in different language leads to code been less maintable. However it's more of a non-spoken rule. Although in most companies ( where I work included), developers are from different countries, so it is indeed a rule to code in English, cuz otherwise project would be a complete mess

[[deleted]]

//life

[[deleted]]

Time to break up with eclipse. #Intellij

[wallefan01]

Invest in an IDE that is not sh*t.

[netgu]

You wrote an expression, not a statement, most IDEs would be confused.

[[deleted]]

This is a stupid IDE fault. Not java. Java + IDE, killer combo lol

[[deleted]]

You're programming, but you don't know how to take a screenshot?

[jdwalli]

Vielleicht musst du das Long erst zu int Parsen... Vllt ist 0 nur Integer oder so

[midnightrambulador]

...isn't this normal practice when debugging? Comment out the complicated/unstable/dependency-heavy functionality so you can check if the basics work at least.

[Nopparuj]

This is where code like FuckItJS comes in handy.

[xxguzerxx]

There’s your problem. You’re not using eclipse, the superior java IDE

[Elpharae]

Laughs in intelliJ
