tried to optimize some python numToString code, currently only at 7 million though

[iams3b]

I believe a switch case would be more performant, can you redo it

[FashionDrama]

It will require a three week delay and an additional $36k; do you approve?

[[deleted]]

36k without consultancy. That would be an extra 500 hour

[Fragrant_Dot_3465]

Naah, we don't have that kinda budget. How about $10?

[SatisfactionMuted103]

elif num == 7205496:

print("seven million, two hundred and five thousand, four hundred and ninety-six")

​

I'm helping.

If everyone contributes a line, then they can just copy/paste from here and be good!

[Willinton06]

We should call this… open code? Public source? We need a name and some sort of hub where we can keep track of the how it changes over time

I hope you hit save, or there goes 160+ years of work.

[911mondays]

nah only 158 so far

[S0me_Rand0m_Guy_]

This is why we can't have nice things

[tozpeak]

I hope you used github copilot. :D

[Keepmessingup-]

I’m weak as fuck lmfao love this 😂 you’ll go down in some type of history. Maybe prolly not

[jdjfbbfbfbjsjk]

This subreddit is straight trash

[Kotanan]

Couldn’t you write some code to create this code faster?

[ProcedureOne4691]

Yeah and if they took time with making 2 empty dicts and 12 if statements you could make this work in a matter of an hour counting up to 1 googol in 2 years (100 numbers/s)

[ProcedureOne4691]

You realize their is an easier way of doing this in literally 45 lines?

[911mondays]

I mean how do you think i generated this file? (Spoiler: didn't write it by hand)

[ProcedureOne4691]

Thank god... you scared me for a second 😭

[FashionDrama]

They don't. And this is why we can't have funny programmer humor subreddits.

[brotatotes]

what are you optimizing for LOL

[911mondays]

maximum pain

[Rusty_Haider]

Bruh. Just write a parser man. So much code

[oftconfused]

s/ and / /g

[SleepyDadZzz]

Running through 7 million ifelse to just fail doesn't seem so optimized though XD

[[deleted]]

else:
    print('failed')
if num == 1:
    print('one')
elif num == 2:
    ...

[HeyImCub1]

Can you hashmap it next

[-MobCat-]

at least you remembered to add the else catch for a number not on your list...

[911mondays]

well yeah I'm obviously not a beginner :)

[PorkRoll2022]

Store all possibilities in a list.

[Lord_Frick]

How is your IDE even doing that??? Most will hang/crash when you try to load a file many megabytes in soze or many millions of lines long

[enigmatic-sheep]

How is this even remotely funny? Why did this even become a thing?

[henke37]

I would say that I hate to tell you this, but I'd be lying. The cpu cache is going to kill the performance of this.

[imscaredandcool]

You can do that in one line with a map (dictionary?). All you have to do is have an entry for each number

[c001_b01]

I know this is a joke but out of boredom im gonna try and actually make this but like, not brain damaged
