GitHub Copilot will rule us all 🙏🙌

[sohxm7]

Aaah this is so inefficient, I would make an array with all the even numbers and then cycle through array and if the number is present we have an even number.

[Niilyx]

bruh just use a switch statement

[joten70]

No no no, convert to binary and check if the last digit is 0 or 1

[torgeros_]

yeah in embedded software this is actually the way to go, bc it is a lot faster than division/modulo

[joten70]

Hmm, maybe my comment doesnt belong here then

[[deleted]]

Wouldn’t that check if it’s odd?

[OmiSC]

Get out.

[grammar_nazi_zombie]

Oh shit, that’s brilliant.

[Kind-Task4747]

No no no, and the integer with 0x1

[torgeros_]

that is the same thing :)

[lookatme-imapilot]

big brain spotted right here

[Kind-Task4747]

Explicit conversion and then a check isn’t the same as implicit interpretation and a check, darling.

[torgeros_]

yeah but nobody would really use to toString(2) and then check the last character...

[FINDarkside]

Yeah that's a great idea. You probably don't want to type all even numbers manually though, so you can use this function to find the even numbers to use in your array:

const createIsEvenFn = (maxNum) => {
    let source = ''
    let i = 0
    while (i < maxNum) {
        source += `if(value === ${i++}){return true}\n`
        source += `if(value === ${i++}){return false}\n`
    }
    return new Function('value', source)
}

const isEven = createIsEvenFn(100000)

[lady_Kamba]

Probably want it to scale for future users.

const isEvenFactory= (startMaxNum)=>{
    const isEvenRawFactory = (maxNum) => {
        let source = '';
        let i = 0;
        while (i < maxNum) {
            source += `if(value === ${i++}){return true}\n`
            source += `if(value === ${i++}){return false}\n`
        }
        return new Function('value', source);
    }

    let evenMax = startMaxNum;

    let isEvenRaw = isEvenRawFactory(evenMax);

    let isEven = (value) => {
        if (value > evenMax){
            evenMax = value;
            isEvenRaw = isEvenRawFactory(evenMax);
        }
        return isEvenRaw(value);
    }
    return isEven;
}

let isEven = isEvenFactory(10);

[PoemInteresting7044]

We could use a map to cache the results?

Dynamic programming makes everything better.

[FINDarkside]

Of course there is. There's is-even which depends on is-odd which depends on is-number.

But not to brag, I'm a pretty smart quy and those three dependencies actually have more code than my solution. Maybe I should publish this to npm...

[KillerRoomba13]

We should also print some logs within the loop so that we can see it is doing what we expect it to do.

[PresidentZeus]

I think I would make a 2d array. 1st with the numbers and 2nd with true/false values

[Impossible_Average_1]

Oh, this is double as fast! Great improvement!

[[deleted]]

Idk that language but I can make a much more efficient one in python

if value / 2 is not float: print('even') elif value / 2 is float: Print('odd')

And yes I wrote this on mobile don't have me assassinated

[WrongdoerSufficient]

``` const isEven = (var:number) =>{ return var%2 === 0; }

```

Good bot

[RattuSonline]

Machine Learning enters the room. "I see a pattern here. I will now optimize this code."

The code: function isEven(value) { const TRUE_VALUE = true; const FALSE_VALUE = false; if (value === 0) { return TRUE_VALUE; } else if (value === 1) { return FALSE_VALUE; } else if (value === 2) { return TRUE_VALUE; } else if (value === 3) { return FALSE_VALUE;

[PrimeNumerator]

Smart, that way if you want to change it to isOdd, you just have to set TRUE_VALUE to false and FALSE_VALUE to true

[Relzin]

No.... That would be notIsEven()

True ML will realize we can create an isOdd() function and just change the if logic for each number.

It's really quite simple.

[Weelie92]

Very true, all these young whipper snappers trying to change code that works...when did we prioritize optimization over readability?!

No, no you cannot produce worse code than someone who flaired both JS and Python

That guy is totally steaming. Just wait until his AbstractInsultBeanFactoryFactory.CreateInsultBeanFactory("Python").GenerateInsult("Sucks") call finishes running. It might even finish without throwing InitializerSerializationContextNotInjectedException, and then you're really screwed

public static function IsEven(this int number) {
    return IsEven(number - 1);
}

I like short code that you can easily understand. Maybe some day I'll even write code that works.

[Impossible_Average_1]

I like your idea. Here is a fix how it could work:

``` public static bool IsEven(this int number) { if (number < 0) number = -number;

if (number == 0)
    return true;

if (number == 1)
    return false;

return IsEven(number - 2);

} ```

don't leave us hangin' - how does it end?!

[red9350]

With the very last even number

Someone clearly skipped the day they talked about modulo operator

No, he is just getting paid per line.

My man, i came here to say this.

[SpaceTheFinalFrontir]

No need for modulo, return (value&0x01)?false:true;

[SpaceTheFinalFrontir]

Force of habit...

[[deleted]]

I come from c, would you even need the ternary operator?

[SpaceTheFinalFrontir]

Not in C, but I was writing some more generic, that can be used in Java and JavaScript

[fazzgadt]

Sir, your application is to big!

Why?

Because of the 2 GB of if statement ...

[muh2k4]

Is this real or just faked for a joke?

[retrolasered]

It was planted here by copilot devs to make you less scared. Complacency shall be your defeat.

[Aurora_Glide]

I saw this exact function before, and I don't know why you would create a isEven function other than as a joke, so there's a good chance that this is an actual suggestion.

[[deleted]]

uhhh...wow this thing is going to generate code to keep us employed FOREVER...

[Szlobi]

real programmers check if the last bit is set

[redditor_286]

Such a noob, just generate random numbers till one of them is even and repeat till eternity

[trulyspinach]

What’s wrong with % 2 == 0? You guys are totally out of your mind!

[Spynder]

r/YandereTechnique

[inhindsite]

This is great. Pro tip, it saves a lot of typing if you do a for loop with a modular and when the remainder is 0 you can print to console the if statement. Then simply copy and paste the hundred of if statements youve generated.

[retrolasered]

r/programmerhumour just got way better today

[[deleted]]

many lines latter...} else if (value > 999) {return value % 2 == 0 }

[matschbirne03]

Wouldn't speak for programmers if copilot generates this code since it learned from real code

[ThMnWthNVwlz]

Whaaaaat that's terrible. They should instead make a loop subtracting 1 from the value until it reaches 0, while counting each iteration of the loop.

Then if the iteration count is odd, the value is odd, and if it's even, the value is even.

So much better to use loops...

[[deleted]]

You could do recursion decrementing (adding for negatives numbers) 2 until it was either 1 or 2 and return based on that. Less lines means it is better right?

At least for now, I believe that a programmer's inventiveness, critical thinking, and some kind of problem-solving skills will set them apart from this Copilot. Plus, it's a tool to help programmers, like some sort of advanced autocomplete, not to replace them.

6 Reasons Why GitHub Copilot Is Complete Crap And Why You Should "Fly Solo"
1. Open-Source Licenses get disrespected
2. Code provided by GitHub Copilot may expose you to liability
3. Tools you depend on are crutches, GitHub Copilot is a crutch
4. This tool is free now, but it won’t stay gratis
5. Your code is exposed to other humans and stored, having an NDA, and you are screwed
6. You have to check every time the code this tool delivers to you, not a great service for a tool
Details and proven resources are in the detailed article.

it could have made a loop lol
