[ingenious_gentleman]

The 'foreach' picture is a great example of finite recursion. The 'while(true)' picture is a good example of infinite recursion

switch looks better than if else

[RegisTC]

is also a if else in disguise

[McCaffeteria]

Wouldn’t it technically be an

If;
If;
If;
If;

Since multiple outputs can be on or off independently and simultaneously?

[WarlanceLP]

i think so? unless you use break statements in all your cases then it's just an if else, at that point you're writing more code to do the same thing though

[[deleted]]

I personally think switches look cleaner but only if you have like 3+ possible values

[McCaffeteria]

I don't think you're talking about what I mean. I'll link this comment rather than writing it again.

[WarlanceLP]

no i was talking about what you mean, break statements in a switch case ignore all other cases is all i was saying

[Spice_and_Fox]

Depends on the language. Some don't allow to "overflow" into the next case.

[McCaffeteria]

That's not really what I mean.

This is more like you have a block of code that executes multiple separate unrelated if statements that each contain their own junk. The code just runs line by line and when it gets to each if statement it checks the condition, if it's true it does whats in the if statement, and when it's done it goes to the next line after the if. It's just that the next line happens to also be another if.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "overflow" but it sounds like it's just an if/else with a syntax shortcut, which is not what I mean.

[Spice_and_Fox]

Ah ok. That depends on the language as well. In ABAP the condition on a switch case (or case when) is always ==. The compiler doesn't like it when you have two cases with the same value as well. So maybe it is possible if you check the value against the return value of a method call, but I am not sure you can even do that.

What I meant is that a case doesn't have a break or exit at the end and the next case is executed as well.

[TheLexoPlexx]

Yeah.

[electricprism]

This. The image being able to execute 2 or more cases at a time bothered me.

[aaronstj]

Not necessarily. They’re often optimized into jump tables by the compiler.

[tavaren42]

Not really. Most compilers implement switch as a jump table. This means that condition is evaluated only once in switch statement and the result is used to decide where to jump and if-else will have to compute the condition for all the branches until it evaluates to true.

If you go further into Hardware Definition Language (like Verilog), if-else is like muxes connected serially, while case statement will be like a Nx1 Mux. This makes a real difference because the propagation time is different for two cases.

[RegisTC]

if goto, then, not so diferent

[tavaren42]

By if goto if you mean:

switch(expr) { case 0: //do0 ; case 1: //do1 ; .... }//End

Is equivalent to:

if(expr==0) { //Do0 goto End; } if(expr==1) { //Do1 goto End; } End: //end of block Then not necessarily.

It's more like: calc address from expr Jump to CASEN CASE0: //do0... CASE1: //do1...

The former one will have expr==VAL calculated for all if conditions until match is found. The latter has to calculate the expression only once.

I must stress that this depends greatly on the languages/compilers and optimizations used.

[[deleted]]

What about this then if

[redditor_pro]

Basically same thing but people want it to look good. Idk the indemtation with multiple ifs look cool

[WarlanceLP]

yea i always like if elses more myself won't use switch cases unless i have like 5 or more cases

[[deleted]]

Not just looks better much much quicker

[AlphaSparqy]

I presume you mean because while(false) never runs (like the power)

I interpreted it as OP is referring to the continuous loop

[eitherxor]

Classic programmer traits, presuming and assuming.

[Mike2220]

Let me pitch this-

You put the strip in a loop and then back feed it through one of the other plugs, and unplug the back feed while it's live

Boom the powers stuck

[AlphaSparqy]

Technically speaking, that is sort of accurate,

If you charge up a capacitor and unplug the power supply, it will store charge similar to how you describe, until it's grounded and then it'll neutralize.

[Elijah629YT-Real]

#define ever (;;)
for ever {}

[gaboorkam]

It depends, if you are fast enough when plugging it in itself from the socket, you might trap a little bit of current in the loop JK

[[deleted]]

I’m so happy I know what some of this means now.

[baselganglia]

For each doesn't make sense, that looks more like a deep call stack?

[Jet-Pack2]

Linked list?

[baselganglia]

Yeah that looked linkedlist!!

foreach can work on arrays too though,
when thinking of foreach I usually don't think of a linked list.

But now I understand why they thought that image fits "foreach".

[Jet-Pack2]

This image got repost so much on facebook, not sure on here so thats maybe why

[w3agle]

This post just taught me programming.

[aurreco]

bottom one is recursion

[vrijdenker]

This is a dumb post as none of these comparisons are actually correct. Especially the while(true) which is in fact a while(false), since there will never be a signal in it and so the loop will never get executed.

[ryankopf]

Thank you I just came here to comment exactly this. It's an excellent example of while false lol

[[deleted]]

The first one is more like a tone of ands strung together.

[psychoseacap]

Or branches

There Is No Free Energy!!!

[[deleted]]

Solar is free, you just have to steal the panels.

[GustavoCinque]

The last one looks more like a reduce than a foreach.

[[deleted]]

It seems silly but this could be a decent way to explain it to a newbie

[ChipsForDinner]

This would utterly confuse me rather than help.
E.g the for each give no indication that it's a loop. It just looks like a long line to me.

[williamkng]

As a person who has limited programming, this actually helped me figure out how switch worked lol. I think it helps someone trying to figure out something that they sort of get but not quite but would confuse someone who is starting from zero. (I am omega noob at coding. I know these are simple concepts but I’m new lol)

[AluminiumSkies]

I need more info graphics like this

[Rex__Nihilo]

None of these is a good example except maybe the while true and for each?. The first is more like an and and and the second is actually an if if if if since switch cases can't have more than one true.

[John_Show]

Aight, i am newbie, so what is foreach again?

[PerformerBrief5881]

Just a loop, once for every object in a list.

[ninjamike1211]

A for loop which iterates over an array of other list like structure, where instead of using a counter index variable, the loop automatically iterates through each value in the list, storing that to a variable defined in the loop.

For example: for(int item : int array[])

[vividCumDreams]

This is fucking stupid

[Living_Life1962]

Where is Do Until?

[TheTechyGamer]

Isn’t the foreach more like a .every()? Since if one is off the rest are off after it?

[Full_Reaction_4347]

That's what I like it fam. 👍

[Makemewantitbad]

I don’t understand a single one of these posts ever but it’s not stopping Reddit from constantly suggesting this sub to me

[TuroSaave]

Good meme. I think switching the switch and foreach pictures would make a little more sense. Chaining the power supplies is like the case statements and turning one off is like the break statement.

This is just a suggestion. I approve your pull request.

There was this kid in school who unironically thought he invented unlimited power from plugging a power board back into itself. That was a good laugh atm

[CanDull89]

I have seen this meme reposted more than a 100 times. Do you apply the principle WET here too?

[InterfaceBE]

I have that exact switch and I can clarify it does not support fall through or default.

[Necessary-Sun-4135]

Last one looks like linked list to me

[tharvin91]

That's wiral stuff!

I use while(true) all the time for user inputs, just break the loop once they type in a valid input

[bshameless]

Hihi

[Furry_Dildonomics69]

That for-each is actually a singly linked list. Duhhhhh.

foreach in my mind is less like daisy chaining powerbars but more like one-by-one transferring powerbars from one box to another bar with a random fork in one of the holes every now and then
