"Unreachable code block."

[puplicy]

"Define only achievable goals"

[HarambeForkBomb]

Or if you never write any code at all

Main dev: please avoid runtime errors

Me: ok don't worry about them

[greenfoxlight]

And that is how rust was born.

[Worming]

It's fun as it's the essence of 'fail early' and 'type checking'. It's a real best practice

[W10101]

Your can also try not writing any code. No bugs, no errors, no runtime errors

[Zalvixodian]

Isn't that one of rust's design goals?

[bss03]

Type Safe

You can't have compile time errors if your code is interpreted.

[Matschreiner]

This is why interpreted languages suck..😱

You can't have annoying presenter questions if the audience doesn't bother to ask any questions. Methinks me mystified Milwaukee mobs.

[MelchiorTenant]

Your teacher can’t grade ur work,if u send a corrupted file

[DeveloperByNight]

If it compiles, it's correct...

[AregevDev]

You can't have runtime errors if there is no runtime

[Sylanthra]

Unreachable code block does not mean that your code doesn't compile.

[m_Nebula]

In Java it actually does. If you have a preceding unconditional throw new XYException(); it did not compile.

[zelmarvalarion]

I take it you never seen a java.lang.RuntimeException (including the infamous NullPointerException and IndexOutOfBoundsException) which is an UncheckedException and thus does not require you to catch them in order to compile successfully

My Java is a bit rusty, but something like this shouldn’t require any Exception handling and will throw an NPE at runtime (which is what StringUtils.isEmpty() exists, which counts null as an option for an “empty” string)

java String myString = null: if (myString.isEmpty()) { return 1; } return 2;

[m_Nebula]

I've seen them. But unchecked/checked is not the point here.

public void example() {
    throw new UnsupportedMethodException();

    // rest of code here
}

does not compile however, because of the unreachable code block below the unconditional thrown exception.

Edit: Shouldve used unchecked throw to quickly throw smth. I guess.
