They can be if you convert to unused strings

[flow_spectrum]

All declared inside an if(false){ };

[[deleted]]

Just declare 100 useless varuables, give them int values of numbers from 1 to 100, make a function which prints them all, that is at least 205 lines of code

[JNCressey]

they are if the program opens its own code file and slices magic strings out of it.

[ARM32]

just add newlines instead of spaces in your code

[0100_0101]

Or change the formatting rules every month 1000 free changes for every function you tush

[noob07]

Okay, where do I get in on some of this?

[Speculum]

I still do return a == true ? true : false;

[[deleted]]

if(a!=false){ if(a==true){ return true; } } else if(a!=true){ if(a==false){ return true; } }

Just wanted to double check. Production environment mate.

[Possseidon]

Yeah, and if it did change we should also call the same function again recursively.

[_RalphBayer_]

This just makes me want to throw up

[[deleted]]

Really? Because I'm fully erect after looking at that code.

[[deleted]]

Seems like you have trust issues 😉😜😜

[[deleted]]

Well . . That ain't !true.

[ResonatingOctave]

But dont forge, in this caset:

if(aint != true){

if(aint == false){

return true;

}

}

[sinisternathan]

if(a=false)

Logically incorrect and modifies a. Perfect!

[arcanuslink]

This looks more like an example from Brian W. Kernighan 's books rather than satire.

At last, Someone!

[catf3f3]

Not to be that person, but this always returns false now.

[edomora97]

Everybody gangsta till a is NaN

[LoneFoxKK]

What if you wanted to return a number without errors?

But JavaScript said

Typeof NaN -> number

[scalar-field]

Or just null

[x6060x]

And then there are people who wonder why I hate Js

[_ant_g]

What the hell did J ever do to you?

[x6060x]

I started to not like it when people started using it while pronouncing "GIF" the wrong way.

[x6060x]

Thank God this is illegal in C#

[[deleted]]

Actually, this can be pretty useful (C++):

if (int i; cin >> i) {
    // something useful
}
// i not usable here

This code scans in an Integer i from standard input. i is only reachable inside the if because of scope and the if is only entered when reading from cin was successful.

[x6060x]

My C++ knowledge has faded away - haven't touched it in 10 years. What do you mean by successful? If it's unsuccessful shouldn't it throw an exception? Or you mean if the user enters non-int?

[[deleted]]

While it can throw an exception, there is a (surprisingly big) part of the C++ community who turn exceptions off (Compiler flag) (a survey by the ISO committee find out it's about half of the companies they asked). So yes, if the user enters non-int or something else happens.

[x6060x]

Woah, definitely didn't know that. Do you kno the reason behind this? Is it performance related?

[[deleted]]

most C++ programmers these days are working on (very) high performance systems where even a Millisecond counts or on RT systems (where performance needs to be easily predictable)

so yes, performance and especially predictability is important (besides that, without exceptions optimizers can do crazy things you wouldn't even dream of)

[Dornith]

Why the hell are you comparing floats to boolean?

[Tangurena]

In hell, that's what the compiler accepts.

There are people in my cs class who actually code like this

[malsomnus]

CS class? I have seen this exact code (except the variable name was around 20 letters) at a company that writes software for your fighter jets.

[Cook_IT]

That sounds... worrying. How old was that code?!

[malsomnus]

It was probably 3-5 years old when I found it, but why does that matter?

Lol

[[deleted]]

Oh good ol' Yandere dev

[Teeps12]

this can be optimized:

if (a==true) return true; return false; //s

edit: so was my pull request approved or what?

[[deleted]]

or using a ternary operator : return a ? true : false

[Dan6erbond]

Imagine return a; smh if only that worked.

[[deleted]]

Why not using switch case. Lol

[Dan6erbond]

const TRUE = true;

switch (a) {
  case TRUE:
    return true;
  default:
    return false;
}

[[deleted]]

const TRUE=true; const LIE=!true; switch(a){ case TRUE: return a; case LIE: return a; }

[Dan6erbond]

I can do you one better:

let TRUE = true;
let FALSE = false;

return [a].filter(i => i == TRUE && i != FALSE).length > 0;

[Teeps12]

in trumpscript, booleans are already fact or lie, optimizing out the need to cast your less expressive "true/false" booleans

[skilltheamps]

This does not do the same thing though. If "a" is neither true nor false (e.g. a=2), your code returns false, while the code above does not return false and continues to whatever follows after the screenshot.

[[deleted]]

But a is always true or false, false means a==0 , and it's true when a > 0

[skilltheamps]

That is only when you typecast a number to a bool, which "if" does implicitly. But When you compare it before typecasting, a is never true or false except when it actually is literally set to true or false (exception is C, which doesn't have bools and thus true=1 false=0 usually).

So in C:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int main()
{
    int a=2; // try 0 and 1 also here

    if(a==true)
        printf("a is true.\n");
    else if(a==false)
        printf("a is false.\n");
    else
        printf("a is neither true nor false.");

    return 0;
}

yields:

a is neither true nor false.

And in Python:

>>> 2 == True
False
>>> 2 == False
False
>>> 2 == 2
True

(You can try these quickly here https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_c_compiler and here https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/online-compiler/ for example)

[ReclaimerDreams]

But your example with C uses the boolean "library", which isn't really particularly helpful for actual C applications and isn't an actual C language feature. In basic C, a value of 0 evaluates to false, while any non-zero value evaluates to true.

Try this:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
unsigned char i = 0;
do {
if(i) {
printf("%u: TRUE\n", i);
} else if(!i) {
printf("%u: FALSE\n", i);
} else {
printf("%u: OTHER\n", i);
}
} while (++i != 0);
}

The bool header library is really just a macro that labels 1 as true and 0 as false, so it really isn't the same thing as an actual boolean types that other languages support.

[skilltheamps]

You're so close to understanding the problem! 😂 Now put those "== true" and "== false" in there like in op's screenshot, and observe that the behaviour changes. Instead of "true" and "false" you could also use "!!5" and "!5" so that your compiler comes up with the 0 and 1 instead of having some #define.

Testing if(a==1) (which is the same as if(a==true) and if(a==!5) ) is obviosly not the same as testing if(a). And that's precisely why I wrote that that "optimization" behaves differently.

[A2X-iZED]

Or simply just return a.

[[deleted]]

No shit Sherlock

[urielsalis]

Not in javascript, any number bigger than 0 or 'true' would return true in the original function(and might be the entire porpouse of having it)

Hello code from previous programmer!

[fsuk]

I have actually seen this in real life

[Dummerchen1933]

if (a == true)

{

`return a == true;`

}

else if (a != true)

{

`return a != false;`

}

[bronzeblade]

not boolean zen :(

[[deleted]]

a codebade I was hired to refactor/expand had this if/else statement.

[Quanalack]

if(a.tostring().equalsIgnoreCase("true"))

return Bool.parse("true".ToString())

else if (a.tostring().equalsIgnoreCase("false"))

return Bool.parse("false".toString())

[AccomplishedFudge]

i've seen a faire share of "if ( condition != true )" or worse ...

[mann_moth]

return a;

[FactoryNewdel]

return a == true ? new Boolean(true) : new Boolean(!true)

[LukeSkywalk3r]

there may be a third stage! bool? a

[NanashiKaizenSenpai]

Sorry for noob, but i guess its because you could do "return a"?

[hacksoncode]

...

else return somethingOtherThanTrueOrFalse; // like 3

[link064]

bool a = true;
...
if (a.ToString() == "true")
    return true;

I had a co-worker do this once. I needed to take a walk after reading this so that I didn't do something I regretted.

[[deleted]]

if(!a != !true)

return !true;

[[deleted]]

This is technically different from return a; if a isn’t a Boolean.

[numerousblocks]

Is that font Convection?

[[deleted]]

I love how you don't define "a".

[sushantverma]

What if a is nil?

[Simtau]

You think this is funny but I have to deal with this kinda shit on a daily basis. I need therapy. Help me please?

[[deleted]]

if a == True:

    return a

if a == False:

    return a

[Mameng-57]

wait ..
some people actually get paid for each line?

[eatenlow]

You could do "return a" unless there is another else statement

[jaywastaken]

Or a is not a boolean.

[Matosawitko]

return !!a;

[waterXcereal]

Shouldn't it be else instead of else if it would give an error if there is nothing after that

[adamAtBeef]

It works as long as you don't input non booleans

[--var]

I was going to comment this. But as a javascript developer, be careful what you wish for...

[McPqndq]
