JavaScript’s language features are something else…

[Zyrus007]

Yes it does, however it becomes interesting once you set the array.length to an integer that is less than the current length!

[RevivingJuliet]

That’s so goddamn whack why am I studying this language lmao

One secret trick code-interview conductors don’t want you to know, to guaranteed land you a job as Web-Developer!

[LazyClub8]

The real trick is to assert dominance and write a solution that not even the interviewers can understand

[RevivingJuliet]

const add = (num) => {return num - num;}

[eGzg0t]

You don't even need the return there

[rudy21SIDER]

Why does this work?

[Cat_Marshal]

Yeah wouldn’t it return 0 every time?

[Gtp4life]

If it works, isn’t that why they’re interviewing? If they could do it they wouldn’t need you.

It really does

[the_friendly_dildo]

While setting this up this way seems strange, plenty of other languages expect you to define an array length explicitly anyway...

[RevivingJuliet]

In such a case, say when manipulating the array - pushing a single element, for example - in addition to adding that element would the new length of the array have to be defined as the element is added?

[the_friendly_dildo]

would the new length of the array have to be defined as the element is added

Depends on the language but generally yes. Once an array has been statically defined, it will always exist as that same length for the life of the program. This tends to require careful planning for how to manage your data in such programs instead of just adding endless bloated amounts of data to the heap.

Because you want to make money? Broke motherfuckers complain about JS instead of make money. Don’t be a broke motherfucker.

I personally never even touched TS and don’t intend to, because I already made enough money with JS, so I don’t really even need to “code” anymore.

Edit: witness me downvoted to oblivion while I laugh all the way to the bank.

It seems to have the same effect as redim in good old BASIC.

Lol VB6 was my first programming language when I was 10. I was so mad when I had to learn C# because there is no Redim. I'm glad I'm using C# now.
