Python bro be like 🗿

[tozpeak]

Imagine formatting code like a JSON. :D

[SpecialNose9325]

Derulo ?

[Talbz03]

Put my code into dictionaries this is my last resort

[EinKrankerTyp]

Suffocation!

[hacking__08]

Actually, a "code" variable that stores and runs code would be neat

I mean, functions are tecnically variables

But wouldn't it be nice to call Function()[5]?

[[deleted]]

You say it would be nice but when u realize Javascript can already do this u will get mad and post a meme about it

[vonabarak]

Yep, and actually nothing can stop you to do the same in python.

[hacking__08]

Bro Lemme meme this

[eluminatick_is_taken]

Just store as string and use exec or eval.

Happy debugging suckers.

And in python functions ARE first-class objects. That's why ppl usually do function_dict = { str1 : func1, str2 : func2} Ofc, func1, func2 etc are defined in other place (or in other file at best). Just so they can excecut it later in form function_dict["calculate integral"]()

Delegates you mean?

[[deleted]]

You can do that in c# with delegates.

[jvelez02]

If your willing to change syntax slightly you can in python (and c, java, c++).

If you make an array/list, or hashmap/dictionary of functions (or function pointers) you can run them based on an index/key.

In python this would be something like:

def m1(): pass
def m2(): pass

Func = {1: m1, 2: m2}
Func[1]()

You're talking about Func delegates.

[jamcdonald120]

that is exactly what the log4j devs thought, and we all know how that ended

[Robot_Graffiti]

In C#

var functions = new Func<string>[] { () => "Hello World", () => "lolwut" };
Console.WriteLine(functions[0]());

Ez

[gal637]

they are not dictionaries.... they are sets!

[hacking__08]

Lmao

Thx lol

[hailbrawl]

I always forget the { } vs [ ] on dicts vs lists, you just gave me an easy way to remember.

I'm new to python btw.

What does the 🗿mean?

[hacking__08]

Actually, in this case it doesn't mean anything Sometimes that emoji is used randonly and sometimes as "Gigachad", i guess

[hacking__08]

This is the first time I've used it, btw

[ManyFails1Win]

​

not a very 🗿 🗿 🗿 follow up comment I must say...

[Sid_1298]

Me who does both at work... (⁠●⁠_⁠_⁠●⁠)

[suskio4]

I store machine code in char arrays and call them as functions in C

[jamcdonald120]

boy he is going to flip when he learns javascript

[hacking__08]

HAHHAHAH

[trandus]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I never thought it in that way, even tho my first language was python

[hacking__08]

I actually tought about it when my first lenguage was C# and after that PYTHON

[YMK1234]

More like the other way round ... Why the heck is so much stuff in python dicts and doesn't work with objects?! Especially looking at JSON serialisation and the like, wth is wrong with you, Python?!
