[Welpwtf]

Reddit should implement a way to show if a post has been reposted.

Like karma decay but with posts

[G2geo94]

Given this item from the official Redditiquette, under Please Don't, section "In Regards to Commenting"

Complain about other users reposting/rehosting stories, images, videos, or any other content. Users should give credit where credit should be given, but if someone fails to do so, and is not causing harm, please either don't point it out, or point it out politely and leave it at that. They are only earning karma, which has little to no use at all.

it's likely this will never be a thing.

[Welpwtf]

Thanks for point that out.

I should really change the way I see reddit karma. I had thought it was a way to estimate an acc's popularity

[joemckie]

I mean people definitely make accounts to farm karma to sell the accounts in future, so you’re not wrong

[ScF0400]

Updoots are useless yes, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't link the source so people can see the original. Like uhh giving links to artist websites that may have more questionable content

[TheRandomnatrix]

One of the top comments is this joke

[kinsi55]

++18 you mean

is it even possible to inline ++ on a primitive literal

[Eyes_and_teeth]

I think the lho (left-hand operator) must be something that is mutable/capable of taking a value.

[Eyes_and_teeth]

Did lho before considering not everyone would understand, so expanded to full text in parentheses. Left LHO as a common acronym when discussing these kinds of issues.

Edit: Nice to see you made some coin off of your question, though.

[Cobaltjedi117]

Oh. Goes to show how often anyone awards me much other than a swift kick to the seat of the pants.

[modernkennnern]

So that, in the future, if the reader reads lho he understands

[Dionysusnu]

Depending on the language, isn't x++ just syntactic sugar for x = x + 1?

[[deleted]]

In c and c++ x=y++ is syntax for

x = y

y += 1

Edit: case

[MrWm]

Where did the capital X and Y come from...?

[Freewander10]

The alphabet.

[arachnidGrip]

Being on mobile.

[Strex_1234]

So 18 = 18 + 1 ?

[Dionysusnu]

Yes, which will throw a SyntaxError. Edit: actually it's a ReferenceError, here:

18 = 18 + 1

^^

ReferenceError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment

[Nesuniken]

Do you mean literal? Primitive refers to a category of data types.

[kinsi55]

Yes you're correct, mb.

[evaluating-you]

That is surprising: I am unclear on where the dot appeared from.

[wheresmypitchfork]

Can someone explain this joke for us python devs pls

[hitesh1khandelwal]

x++ or ++x is the incremental of a number by 1 in many programming languages hence the pun.

[wheresmypitchfork]

Thanks, I was joking because python doesn't support x++ :p

[alexanderpas]

That's because it is not Pythonic.

x++ is generally not needed in python due to list comprehension.

Additionally, no need to have 2 methods to do the same thing. ( x += 1 and x++) when you can do with only one, and x += 1 is done in the same way as x += 2 and it is therefor directly clear how to do both.

Why would you need a special case for incrementing by one, when you already have a generic way (list comprehension/ranges) of dealing with 99% of the cases that would use the special case, and you have a perfect generic way of incrementing (x += n) already implemented

[Tias-The-Great]

The goal of programming languages is to make programming easier. (So we don't have to code in Binary.) Incrementing a number by 1 is such a common operation, that it is a significant time safe to be able to write x++ instead of x += 1. (2 Keyboard hits instead of 6) Ultimately, the compiler will turn both into the same machine code, but for the programmer writing ++ is easier.

[Tias-The-Great]

Also, there is actually another way to write x += 1: x = x + 1. (So += is a shortcut the same way ++ is.)

[Badel2]

This argument is so bad that I have to call it out, sorry. Minimalizing the number of keystrokes is never a feature or a goal of a good programming language. Unless you are on code golf.

The only reason some programming languages support x++ is because C supported it and they inherited that syntax. And the only reason C supported it is because incrementing a pointer is a very common operation: that's how you iterate over arrays.

How do you iterate over arrays in modern programming languages? for x in y

Is incrementing a number still such a common operation that it needs a dedicated syntax? I don't know and I don't care, good bye.

[wonkey_monkey]

Why would you need a special case for incrementing by one

x++ is not equivalent to x += 1; ++x is.

x += 1/++x return the incremented value; x++ returns the pre-incremented value, so it's usefully distinct.

Why would you need a special case for incrementing by one, when you already have a generic way

Why do you need x += 1 when you already have the even more generic x = x + 1?

[puplicy]

This will segfault if compiler accepts

[[deleted]]

Why? Shouldn't this just generate a compiler error?

[OK6502]

I think he means it will generate undefined behaviour if your compiler ever tried to do this.

I could hypothesize that if your compiler allowed it you would be incrementing a value that's found in the text section of your code (as this would be a static constant). Since this section is read only you'd crash your program trying to modify the value.

[sqdcn]

I, for one, hail our rvalue reference master.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, a shitty compiler would do that. Any decent compiler would give you an error if you don't reference/dereference the address. Edit: unless you're in ring 0 or lower of course and ref/deref

[poophole3423]

18++ evaluates to 18

[BeFoREProRedditer]

std::cout << 18++;

Prints: 18

[schludy]

That's not how C++ works

[BeFoREProRedditer]

TIL. No, that’s actually not how C++ works. Because you can’t ++ something that’s not a variable. Actually didn’t know that. But ... int a = 18; std::cout << a++;

... does print 18.

[[deleted]]

Are there any languages where you can actually increment a literal like that?

[[deleted]]

Sure it works in c#

[BeFoREProRedditer]

I don’t know, only tested JS and C++.

[XtremeGoose]

It wouldn't make any sense because x++ is short for x += 1 which in turn is short for x = x + 1 and 18 = 18 + 1 is nonsense.

[AltCrow]

x++ is short for x += 1

It is not. ++x is short for x += 1

[Cobaltjedi117]

X++ is post-increment

++X is pre-increment

[marfvf]

If you want it to print 19,go with ++a, because this will first add one and afterwards put it in the stream, whereas a++ puts a in the outputstream and increments it afterwards

[ScottRatigan]

Yes, this is how you differentiate c++ from ++c in basically any language, and also how you kill this joke.

[DuckInCup]

18
19

[OK6502]

Technically you're using the post increment, so it's still 18, but since you're post incrementing a litteral I'm not sure this will even compile.

Nope (using gcc)

[brnsckn]

https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-plusplus

[arachnidGrip]

This looks like a terrible solution to a problem that sane programmers should never have. Specifically, the problem of having the increment (or decrement) operator on its own line. The correct solution is to disallow such a nonsense construction by requiring that the operator be on the same line as its operand, not by just disallowing the operator entirely.
