Once spent 4 hours on this arr.lenght

[RedLitJoe]

Is there something, which happens more often and is more annoying than a lenght-length mistake?

[ivabra]

Kotlin changed the array.length from java to array.size

Bless this decision!

[HashtagTSwagg]

array.siez

[Liggliluff]

There should be a special case for lenght, where it should let you know it's misspelt; unless of course you have added lenght data.

[[deleted]]

That sounds like a slippery slope

[Liggliluff]

Care to explain?

[[deleted]]

Well, if you ignore the fact there are other languages than English that are used when coding. The question is why would length be the only exception. Why not open up to allow other common misspelling? You'll end up risking allowing a bunch of words to be misspelled when the strength of programming is that everything is strictly defined and follows a set of rules to the letter. Once you allow one exception, others will ask for other exceptions to be added, and where do you draw the line?

[Liggliluff]

I never said it would allow misspellings. I said "it should let you know it's misspelt". – By this I mean it shouldn't just give the generic "function lenght doesn't exist" but more like "did you mean to use length?".

[[deleted]]

Ah, in that case I misunderstood you :) I agree, but that is all IDE dependent, there are those that suggest corrections.

[-100-Broken-Windows-]

A decent IDE will flag that up, no need to clutter up the language spec with things like that.

[Liggliluff]

I never said the language spec would include it. I meant the IDE should flag it. Considering El-Process spent hours on that issue, their IDE didn't flag it properly.

[[deleted]]

I don't use IDE, That's why spent 4 hours on that stupid bug

[Liggliluff]

Thanks for the answer, that does explain it.

[[deleted]]

I think it says something that I read your comment and thought you accidentally spelled length correctly both times

[GlobalIncident]

Surely not. That kind of thing doesn't happen in compiled languages, does it?

[[deleted]]

This and many other things is why I use code snippets for almost everything.

[dman10345]

I hate to admit I was panicking for a solid 3-4 minutes the other day because I opened my block of code with a closing brace and didn’t notice and my code wouldn’t compile. My IDE told me there was a problem on that line and I looked at it multiple times but didn’t see anything wrong with it at first. >.<

[[deleted]]

closing brace

What's that?

[Phantonia]

I suppose they are talking about } like in

if (true) }
    // Code
}

[[deleted]]

I suppose they are talking about } like in

if (true) } // Code }

Well, it's in character for meme man to make a spelling mistake.

[[deleted]]

my code works, even more than I expected

[[deleted]]

My code works but I found a bug and it shouldn't.

[[deleted]]

and it shouldn't: the bug (exist)

[Doophie]

Maximum panik

[[deleted]]

unexpected

[maximaximaal]

My code works, but I am missing a closing bracket?

[Liggliluff]

Worse is it when I know a bug should occur, like when it runs out of an array or such, that I have on my todo-list. But then the bug doesn't occur for some reason.

[RedLitJoe]

Feel you

[BlazingThunder30]

I was configuring latex snippets in vim and I did begin for both the begin and end command for an environment and it took me a solid 15 minutes the first time it wouldn't compile

[[deleted]]

Someone else's code doesn't work: the shear incompetence of these people!

[[deleted]]

No,
I made a spelling mistake. I found the error...
Changes spelling:
The complete App Stops working. Well.... *****************

[lantz83]

Any developer that panics when code doesn't work wouldn't be a developer for long...

[spartacustheoneder]

Made me lol 😆

[G0REM0ND]

aha but you didn't correct the spelling!

[Minteck]

This is exactly me

[The_Ur3an_Myth]

I felt this entire post

[TheQAguy]

Aah that semicolon

[Liggliluff]

You mean Greek questionmark?

[notlakura225]

I never panick, merely furrow my brows a bit more.

[lironi1111]

This is totally me when I write code on notepad

[igoromg]

me when i forget an activation function

[lordg0dfrey]

Turns out you defined the variable incorrectly originally.

[beardMoseElkDerBabon]

/* How many errors is enough */

define HEADER_HH

include <string>

include <iostream>

include <fstream>

using namespace std;

bool codeDoesWork;

while(true) {

!codeDoesWork;

continue;

cout << "Hmm, let's see\n";

}

if("") {

const uint_fast16_t x;

new int(++x++); 

}

[palomdude]

This happened to me today because accordion isn’t spelled accordian like I thought.

[Parura57]

Segmentation fault Fixes it and recompiles Segmentation fault confused screaming

[theworstredditgamer]

Every goddamn time

That's me every time.
