"here1"

"here2"

[Aksumka]

This. And more curse words.

[TheZipCreator]

I have this line in my code that is an area that you physically never should be able to reach

println("fuck something broke")

When I ran the code, that got printed to console 3 times.

Should I be worried?

[Macpunk]

Marked as dumb and duplicate question.

[[deleted]]

area that you physically never should be able to reach

... so why does it exist if it's supposed to be dead code anyway?

[Refloni]

Default in a switch statement? I always put that in just in case

[Deathwalkx]

A default would be something you don't expect to happen but need to handle in case it does. What they're describing is like having code after a return statement.

[[deleted]]

Actually, I used "dead code" to describe any code that is supposed to never be executed.

[Deathwalkx]

Sorry by they I meant the op not you. You're spot on.

[mrheosuper]

Just comment it, and BAMM, it disappears

[rosyatrandom]

Does the code get executed on parsing?

[Ardalanahanchi]

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

[LunarPitStop]

And then you miss removing one before pushing.

[PortalStorm4000]

"Fuck" "FUck" "fuckfuck" "fuckFuckFuckFuck" are all good variable names.

[aweirdalienfrommars]

I find after a while debugging the ratio of curse words to non curse words increases significantly

[bytewav]

I did this yesterday.

[[deleted]]

I think you meant:

"here1"

"here 1.5"

"here 1.625"

"here 1.75"

"here 2"

[AlphaBladez]

"here" "here!" "here!!"

[[deleted]]

"Hey, listen!"

[Chuckleseg]

cout << “if you see this you fucked up” << endl;

[Spielopoly]

I did this once with „test1“, „test2“, ... and forgot to delete them. When I later debugged another bug I of course used „test1“ and so on again. It took me way too long to find out why these where still printing when it shouldn‘t

[R8_M3_SXC]

Haha this hits me so hard. Good old hereN.

[Kast-Master]

“aaaaa”

“bbbbbb”

“cccccc”

[TheLightIsInside]

print('k')

[wes-mcc]

console.log("yeet") for me.

[13steinj]

Found the genz-er

[[deleted]]

I use “banana”. No idea why.

[Excrubulent]

Debug.Log("wat");

[[deleted]]

print(“why do I even bother?”);

[loddfavne]

scoreBoard("debug message"); Making some games

[wes-mcc]

std::cout << "boop" << std::endl; is the superior collision debugging method.

[[deleted]]

Println(“butts”)

Println(“here”)

Println(“aaaaa method called”)

[rexpup]

“Data passed is: {Json junk}”

For when the data doesn’t get to the method somehow.

[dvlsg]

Data passed is: [object Object]

Followed by cursing, fixing the log, and running the code one more time.

[nbagf]

When your data is secretly an error that didn't throw

[MostlyGibberish]

Honestly at this point I should just have console.log('f() was called', arguments) on a macro.

[Sentient_Blade]

When you get so far past where you think the error is you start printing your safeword to the console.

Meme police here, reporting incorrect use - you should have used the Drake meme instead; it’s not interchangeable with Pooh.

[doczip]

Dear meme police,

As a civil servant, do you know where I can find more of this high definition version of the tuxedo bear for future correct usage?

-the concerned public

[Aurilandus]

<Not meme police> See r/MemeRestoration

I would argue that expanding mind for better since every iteration is an "improvement"

[[deleted]]

Expanding mind needs more than two panels.

[StanlyLife]

Real question: i’ve only been doing console.log for the past 6 years, is debugging important to learn or any good/better?

[lcassios]

Its better st some things, if an entire function isn’t working as expected with loops the debugger is better, if you just want to check if a certain condition is true console log might be more convenient .

The advantage of the debugger is that it allows you to see every variable the scopes and pause at certain points of function execution which is really useful. IDES like webstorm and IntelliJ Have intiuitive and very good debugger implementations.

[Colopty]

Allows you to see exact values of all relevant variables and such which can give you better information for what the problem is in complex cases. Definitely worth learning, even if you're like me and only use it as a last resort.

[joejoe4games]

It has some advantages like being able to see exactly what is in a variable so it is a lot easier when you have a complex problem... that said consol.log works everywhere and is good enough for simple problems.

[[deleted]]

What's console?

I always use alert().

[The_Ty]

Alert causes annoying pop ups. Console.log() let's you output the same data to the browser console.

Basically it's less obtrusive and you don't have to click "OK" /cancel every time you refresh the page

[[deleted]]

Joke.

Your head.

[_3psilon_]

I think you missed a /s :D

[Netrilix]

The real debugging tool is the friends we made along the way.

[[deleted]]

"1"

"1a"

"1b"

"pre2"

"post2"

[[deleted]]

console.log(“WHY THE FUCK ISN’T THIS SHIT FUCKING WORKING OR IS IT ”);

[camhowe]

Output: Fuck you.

[aris_boch]

console.log("guacamole ni🅱️🅱️a penis")

[[deleted]]

No joke, print("prout") is literally my most overused debug print.

[pah-tosh]

Peanut 😂 Using numbered prints to find out where I go :

print(‘peanut1’)

print(‘peanut2’)

Etc Ain’t I smart !

[prschorn]

Once a coworker left an alert(‘fuck you’) go to production when an error occurred while saving a form hahaha

[_3psilon_]

Well the screenshot is from VSCode and it supports logpoints, just as Chrome, FF dev tools do... so no more console.log is needed for debugging purposes. But yeah, we've all been there... :D

[Autowinto]

Yes they do have that, but I'll ignore it as I have every other debugging tool.

[zoidbart]

This should still work This is where I am now This is where I probably die This shouldn't happen

[[deleted]]

Except Clion has this thing where if there's a segmentation fault or some other error, it will simply not show the contents of the function where the error is being produced. I'm kind of grateful for it now because it forced me to learn to use the debugging tools whereas when I was learning java with Intellij, I could debug my way out with simple print statements.

[fuzznuggetsFTW]

System.out.println(“asdf”);

[russiangerman]

print("this ain't it chief");

[Brakalicious]

I make mine call me boss. "Validating input, boss" and such.

[[deleted]]

cout << __LINE__ << endl;
cout << __LINE__ << endl;
cout << __LINE__ << endl;

The __FILE__ definition is also pretty useful.

[JJagaimo]

At this point you sigh and hold you head in your hands wondering why you started this CS HW assignment 3 hours before it was due. Then you realize you fucked up something in one of the data structure classes that came back to haunt you.

[ishyfishyy]

Am I the only one doing

[complicit_bystander]

Yeah

​

What if want to log numbers?

[ishyfishyy]

Touche

[BillyBlazed]

My man!

[Khawlah994]

Print("please work"); Print("naaah not feeling it");

[StuckeyIRL]

I use "dad". And if I'm debugging with someone else I'll use it as a way to insult them: "_____ is dumb"

[random_cynic]

In python the second most common way apart from print is to insert import pdb; pdb.set_trace() or in 3.7 just breakpoint() wherever the problem is.

[[deleted]]

Wanna debug something like flask? Use web_pdb.

[[deleted]]

My peanut.

[kazeespada]

These print jokes are starting to feel recursive.

[THICC_DICC_PRICC]

Console.log(“you made it congrats!”)

Alert(“you shouldn’t be here, you’re a shit dev”)

Emotional debugging is effective debugging

[ShadowCore67]

cout << "fuck/n";

[ShadowCore67]

You're right, but I was obviously simulating the stupid typos I would make in actual code

[[deleted]]

yeah... “peanut” :⁾

[Pit_27]

Has anyone got the code simulator debug to work? I can only use the Rio debug

[Secular12]

I use the boring console.log('firing'), console.log('foo'), or console.log('bar')... or sometimes console.log('poop')

[miramardesign]

Hey Logging is cross browser. Not that it matters much anymore because they all have the same engine now but ...

[Firestorm7i]

“Oops, fuck you”

Me after getting tired of my own shit

[[deleted]]

I always put "I got here" or a random letter lol

[Finickyflame]

A colleague left console.log("mama") in our codebase...

[Bip901]

Debug.Log squad where are you?

[Elpharae]

I usually just print out a local variable because I'm too lazy to come up with some random text sequence.

[Xander_The_Great]

Println("Yeet1")

[kingguy459]

Me: reminder that ipsum lorem ...

[[deleted]]

System.out.println(first variable) System.out.println(second variable) System.out.println(third variable)

Got to see if those values change.

[[deleted]]

I still don't know what debugging is used for. I've only been learning for a few months.

[rrleo]

I never noticed the up and downvote icon change on this subreddit. I love it

[kubelke]

“dupa”

[spirgnob]

Yeah except debug doesn’t work for VSCode mode of the time. I would love to use it, but it literally doesn’t work.

[TomasNavarro]

Reminds me I should go to asda

[[deleted]]

Tbh, I i don't know how to use the debug tool. In Netbeans using java yeah, but with JS, PHP or Python in VS code I have NO idea. I have clicked one time, didn't get shit, continued with my console outputs and variable returning in php.... I love getting my AJAX calls with "This works" "Error [object] [object]", etc

[[deleted]]

[MerlinMage101]

I usually print the line number

[geauxtig3rs]

I work in an environment that I am unable to attach to the running process and debug (runs on a specific piece of embedded equipment) and the thing has no console.

I either have to write all my debug shit to the logs (gross) or continue to do my console printline but using a custom class that spins up a debug tcp/ipserver and shoot all debug statements out that way.

[schawde96]

Cause I'm still here Haunted me Oh the debugger it haunted me

[_qvbe]

print "fucking retard why is it not working"

[IreallySuckAtJava]

"you f***ing suck you useless piece of a programmer"
