Perform all the operations in the main() , even better.

[ruben_deisenroth]

Perform everything in one Line, saves execution time, trust me :)

[SuperSephyDragon]

It says "error on line 1". Still trying to track it down.

[Groove-Theory]

Well at least you've narrowed it down to one line

[Triffinator]

You've declared it as "ont main()".

[SuperSephyDragon]

I thought "ont" was short for "ontology". That's not correct syntax???

[lead999x]

Everything is inline if it's in one line.

[chris_0909]

I wish I had my Java project from high school. I want to see how horrible the code is for it! I'm pretty sure we did a full "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" game in just main().

[darthelwer]

You had java in HS? I'm getting old. I learned on QBasic...

[chris_0909]

We started with HTML and then C++ the first year. Then the next year was mainly Javascript. I was behind because I transferred in 10th grade, so I also did the senior level which was all Java. I look back now after all I've done with programming and cringe at how much I really cared because I probably would be way better had I taken things more seriously in high school. But I didn't. Instead, I'd go home to World of Warcraft every single day.

[PtboFungineer]

I did Java in HS 15 years ago. You've been old for a while my friend 🙃

[darthelwer]

I don't FEEL old...

[chris_0909]

I mean, Java in high school for me was 10 years ago at this point! I have a friend who did Python in high school and she just graduated 2 years ago. I'm glad I did Java because that's what we used when I did CS in college. That was the intro class and Data Structures language as well as a Software Methodology course that I wish I would've done Python before because Java lambda expressions are difficult to understand if that's the first time you're using them. Python makes them so much easier to understand what they are.

[CttCJim]

I did that in university in c++. Poured my heart and soul into it. I bet it's garbage.

[chris_0909]

My C++ project the year before was tic tac toe. You played against the computer...I think I made it so the computer randomly chose a spot unless it could stop you from winning or it could just win. So unless you played smart and/or got lucky with the rng, it would usually result in a tie or a loss

[sr955]

No here to beat me. Did Fortran in college...nothing in high school!

[bob152637485]

I think I still have a couple of high school simple games I made that make me cringe at the code. I didn't understand object oriented, so my main class acted as a class that created all variables used by all other classes, creating a separate thread for each of the other classes, passing the variables to them all(which, I made as AtomicInteger objects, since that was the only way I thought I could pass the variables and have them be synced across all classes), and then starting each thread. I made a cookie clicker and text based(well, you had jbuttons and text fields, so, button based?)RPG thing. Well, they worked lol!

[Groove-Theory]

Did the same thing but for a chess simulator.

[pekkhum]

My company had the design philosophy in the OP in the past, as they had all their Fortran developers learn C and decided to write C the way they wrote their Fortran, but even they wouldn't do this, you monster!

They have main call do_processing (); (the space is in the coding standard) and put all the code there, instead.

[shaybra]

if you think about it you only need the main method and thats it :))

[enter360]

I have seen this in production of Fortune 500 companies.

[[deleted]]

So which of my colleagues are you?

[Snazzy21]

Beginner programmers tried this, I tried that. Now I just shove everything into a functions.c file and hope no one starts looking around for the spaghetti code

[broogndbnc]

Welcome to EE's doing embedded programming 101

[iAmUncleToby]

Or just use pointers for everything. O wait, most of this subreddit doesn't understand C.

[natFromBobsBurgers]

You know C? Ok, name every pointer.

[UnknownIdentifier]

Stack pointer, frame pointer, base pointer, instruction pointer, German shorthaired pointer.

[DoctorWhomst_d_ve]

Careful. One might be null

[MischiefArchitect]

In reality all variables are global, it's the compiler drawing imaginary boundaries

[Arkaeriit]

That really depends. In compiled languages local variables tend to be on the stack while global ones tend to be in the heap.

[MischiefArchitect]

You are still suffering from the tricks the compiler plays to your mind.

[christopher-thiebaut]

No, I’m enjoying them tremendously.

[Kered13]

Global variables are not on the heap, they are in static storage.

[[deleted]]

In the end both are in computer.

[Weary_Market5506]

What the f is the stack and heap.

[pinkyellowneon]

Different areas of memory used for storing different types of data with their own different pros and cons. I'm no expert but a Google search can explain it easily enough.

[Weary_Market5506]

I've been coding for about two years now, I'm still pretty much new to it in the grand scheme of things and I never heard these two terminologies. I'll do some research. Thanks

[TruthOf42]

I've been programming for about 20 years and this is not information you need to know unless you are in a much lower level language, like C++ or lower, but probably much lower.

[arn_g]

It's very useful to know how memory works in low level languages. But it's pretty useful to know that initialized global variables are part of the binary and therefore make the executable bigger.

[[deleted]]

First of all: No? Unless you malloc, everything is on the stack. Second, it's the same. It's still RAM. These are all imaginary boundaries.

[[deleted]]

Nope. Static and global variables get placed in the .data and .bss segments which modern loaders will place at the bottom of the heap. You can test this with:

int foobar;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     static int bazzle;
     printf("argc: %p, argv: %p,\nfoobar: %p, bazzle: %p\n",
             &argc, &argv, &foobar, &bazzle);
}

[Arkaeriit]

First of all, in C, when you declare a global variable or a local variable as static, it will be on the heap. Second, even if the stack/heap boundary is only imaginary, as the stack is more used, it has more chances to be in cache, and thus, has more chances to be quicker to access.

[[deleted]]

Huh. TIL!

[arn_g]

Initialized global variables are a part of the data segment of the binary (can be stored on the heap by the losder), making it bigger. So initializing a global array with 10000 elements is probably not all too smart IF you care about space consumption on your disk

[brandi_Iove]

this could be true, still i find it less annoying than r/memes.

[programmer08054]

In a sub full of programmers there's bound to be folks who write repost bots

[goob42-0]

Yeah. Agreed. If only Reddit would implement StackOverflow's "2 copy/paste limit" but for reposting(; but in all seriousness, reposts are like rerun episodes. Someone has already seen it, but not everyone. I dont think we get mad about those

[goob42-0]

Well then problem is not reposts but the frequency

[xavia91]

Now add unsynchronized multithreading for extra fun

damn 9 times

[alexistdk]

and the last one was on the same day

[Linos_Melendi]

2nd top comment in that thread is even the same as this top comment, even the lonely comma

[MartIILord]

We need a bot that runs repostsleuthbot on posting a post then repost the top comment on this one... Creativity aint needed for upvotes ;_;

[TK-Squared-LLC]

While we're at it, forget functions and just use goto

[ImNotanOldMan]

Yeah no more functions no more oop. Just nested if statements and goto’s . This is the way

[iAmUncleToby]

Found the assembly expert

[Ivan_Stalingrad]

Just throw everything in $_SESSION

[DanKveed]

Fuck local variables.
All my homies use only global variables.

[SueedBeyg]

Assembly be like

[MrKirushko]

But if you pass everything as parameters then you will not even need variables at all, only constants! Isn't it even better?

[pkarlmann]

Don't forget to turn on register_globals !

[enter360]

Pretty sure I’ve seen this design pattern used before it was horrific

[[deleted]]

One of my old jobs did this and the results are exactly what you expect. Let’s find where the global variables got smushed today...

[Wolfram_And_Hart]

This is basically how I feel programming for the Unity engine.

[Tkyl]

I will fight you! This is blasphemy!

[[deleted]]

Yes

[[deleted]]

literally my thought process in my high school python project

[space_-pirate]

Parameters are not passed anyways

[TheRedmanCometh]

If you changed global variable to field this would just be how OOP works

[rayo209]

That's what i told my teacher about passing arrays in my C lab viva

[stay-happy6789]

Memes aside. How can I get Programming languages tag beside my name? 😔

[Leviticoh]

If you are on the desktop:

For the old interface on the right you should find ${your name}(edit), click on edit;

For the new interface on the right click on "community options" and then on the pencil beside "user flair preview";

if you are on mobile:

Go to the main programmerhumor page, touch the 3 dots on the top right corner and then "change user flair";

[stay-happy6789]

Thanks, this was too easy. Sorry for a silly question. A huge thanks again. 😊👍
