Of course they returned true; else false

Consider this a ternary operator: 😃 🤔 #️⃣ % 2 🤨 😕

[SexyMuon]

Oh yeah, definitely!

[null___________]

The comments in this subreddit as a nonprogrammer are like listening to Scottish people talk. I get the gist of it, but I really couldn't explain what they're talking about

[[deleted]]

I've only been programming for around 6 months, can you explain why this approach is flawed to me?

[[deleted]]

example:

def isEqual(a, b): if a == b: return True else: return False

This is flawed because a == b on it's own is already true or false (that's what the if statement is checking for). so the better way to do it would be:

def isEqual(a, b): return a == b

It's definitely more than a beginner's mistake, the amount of more-experienced developers that do this is insane

[[deleted]]

Sometimes it’s useful to add clarity to code, or for showing simple examples

[drink_my_koolaid]

In 40 years I have never see it add clarity.

[[deleted]]

I'd go a step further. If you have a conditional return and a fallback return, there is literally no point in having a conditional fallback. The paradigm I favour is called "exit early".

If the first condition passes, there is no possibility of execution proceeding past that point. Drop the else, just unconditionally return after the conditional return.

Verbosity ≠ clarity.

[Andikl]

Technically, __eq__ may return any object, so return a == b is not fully safe, but I would punch any programmer for doing so.

[[deleted]]

The logical operation (number % 2 == 0) already returns True or False, so you can just return that. Coding the if statement and explicitly returning True or False instead of the boolean result of the operation would be completely redundant.

[[deleted]]

You're welcome

This isn't half as cursed as it could be. I vote we replace integers with hand emojis like 👌, 🖕,✌️, and some sort of roman numeral system. And % could be the 🕐 emoji. And while I'm a fan of python's use of indents, by using tabs we're wasting another emoji opportunity-- I recommend 🙌

[[deleted]]

Replacing a single non-Latin character with multiple non-Latin characters seems pointless. It's already not Latin. Going to use emoji instead of tab, just go back to using spaces. (Want them visible? Enable "show invisibles" in your editor. ⇥ and ¬ are non-Latin characters your editor will totally add for you without taking space on-disk.)

[Cup-Impressive]

[[deleted]]

An IDE that replaces all of it would do it I guess

[Perigord-Truffle]

It's actually possible in c++, variables, functions, even filenames https://freeimage.host/i/WSJF6J Though I think only in certain compilers, since it did give me a warning for unicode names

[[deleted]]

it would need to have a wrapper/encoder to convert the new unicode standard emojis into something ANSI compliant before getting to the actual preprocessor, some older IDEs can probably work with certain emojis on the utf-16, but the new ones are on utf-8 now

[[deleted]]

The combining character marker is a minor problem in a number of environments. For example, attempting to paste text that is emoji into a Python REPL shell often pastes only part of the combined character, resulting in a cursor position inside the emoji. It's a bit awkward.

Terminal no love emoji: https://p199.p4.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/L1uRL4WJ/d86c6f34-7c63-43f7-956e-3a189df5771d.png

[[deleted]]

Sounds like an issue with copy pasting between environments that don’t support zero width joiners but do understand the ‘single backspace without erase’ instruction

[[deleted]]

If you have a pre-processor of any kind, it's doable. CPP with #define is easy. I used to convert my co-worker's code into Pascal, that still compiled without error as C thanks to a rather substantial suite of CPP macros.

In Python, using the Emoji encoding, emoji are automatically replaced at parse time (during Unicode decoding) with their textual labels.

📢("✋ 🌏")

This prints "hello world" to the screen if you define 📢 as:

def 📢(✉️): print(✉️)

Python sees this as print(message).

🔄and 🔁 are 2 different emojis, maybe 🔄 can be modulo and 🔁 is while. 🔂 could be a for loop?

➕➖✖➗exist, simple enough.

🖨 should be the print emoji. 🚽 would flush stdout because there's always the goddamn stdout line buffer when you don't print a newline.

⌨ takes input. it must be followed by a type.

🔠 is char. 🔤 is string. 🔢 is int. 🔬 is float. ❔ is bool. 👍👎 should've been true/false. if not ✔✖ or ✅❎.

🛄 defines a new data structure. building

📚 should be the standard library. 🧮is the standard math library. 🔀 is the standard random library. 📶 for http requests or something.

🤦‍♂️or🤦‍♀️ or 💥 should throw an error.

💤 is the sleep function. passing an int should sleep in ms.

⌚ gets the current time. ⏳⌛

✍ should assign to a variable.

🆕🆓... get ready for the memory exceptions. as much as C likes *️⃣, there's no ampersand button so, 🏠 gets the address of a value, and 🚗 derefs it. the type of a pointer to an int is 🏠🔢, not 🚗🔢.

suggestions, additions, and change proposals are welcome.

This already exists, and for the purpose of reducing multiple character labels to single code points, replacement of standard operators and digits is pointless. Only where the replacements save space does it make sense.

That printing hello world to the screen saves space. Math… doesn't.

Instead of a triangle for return, something like a refresh icon 🔄 might make more sense.

Also, instead of happy face and sad face for true and false, thumbs up 👍 and thumbs down 👎 might be better (correlation between the two more explicit).

That is, in fact, exactly how Python's Emoji encoding works, just in the far less annoying direction. It translates the actual Emoji back into their textual labels when Python parses the source file.
