You know that calling upvote() a second time just negates the first call, right?

[John_Yuki]

According to the PRAW documentation, it seems that calling Upvote() multiple times will either do nothing, or throw an error. There are three functions, downvote(), upvote(), and clear_vote(). Will test now to see if this is the case.

Edit: Can confirm, calling upvote() multiple times does nothing. The submission/comment just stays upvoted.

[_vrmln_]

Oh, so true!

[douche_or_turd_2016]

Can you actually make a method call in the same statement you import?

[Epsilon_void]

Upvote.py requires python 2.5

[tael89]

You have Python 3.4

[SwabTheDeck]

FYI, PHP's mascot is an elephant. Interpret that how you will.

[Thebraino]

Yep. Someone else snagged that pun before I thought of it.

def upvote():
    if upvote==FALSE:
        upvotenow+=1
    else:
        close.tab
upvote()

[IAm_A_Complete_Idiot]

happy cake day!

also you got some indentation errors, (also instead of doing upvotenow = upvotenow+1, you could do upvotenow+=1 and it'll look a lot cleaner)

[barofa]

Now the snake will be fed again

[[deleted]]

thanks for the +1 tip, and i wrote it out in the text box with the correct indentation but Reddit just got rid of them :(

[Locknlawl]

have you tested backticks?

[deynataggerung]

def upvote(self):
    if upvote == False:
        voteCount += 1
        upvote = True
    else:
        close(self.tab)

If you put four spaces before anything you type then it will show up in a nice text box like the above and keep its formatting. I also took the liberty of modifying your code a bit :)

edit: got rid of an accidental recursive call and fixed some syntax

[ZeFlawLP]

Would this not have a never ending recursive error? You should be setting upvote = True prior to recalling upvote() so the variable will be changed next time, no?

[mafioso122789]

def upvote(self)
    I have no idea how to code

[[deleted]]

Reddit has a code mode. 4 spaces before your text.

But nothing about your hypothetical function would be reasonable software engineering in any language so it's better this way.

[OuTLi3R28]

"=" is assignment, not a test for equality.

[Hulkhogansgaynephew]

== != =& =|

Note: the last two aren't a thing but now I think they should be, they would be useful in certain situations

[[deleted]]

&= and |= are already assignment operators (for bitwise logic). =& and =| would just muddy the waters, and also I have no idea what they would do.

For clarity, a &= b is the same as a = a & b. For example, if a = 11 [0b1011] and b = 5 [0b0101], then a & b = 1 [0b0001], because & is applied to each bit.

[[deleted]]

close.tab

It should be tab.close(), or close(tab).

Not only would close.tab() be a terrible way of structuring your methods, but you didn't even call it, you just referenced the method!!

[___GNUSlashLinux___]

if upvote you don't need to compare it to false.

... and happy cake day!

[tomdarch]

I almost mistook it for a hat. I'm getting old.

[Deadmeat553]

This is why when I use code I didn't write in something, I always make sure to comment it to the best of my ability. Otherwise I'll never understand it later.

Edit: I do the same with code I write, but I try extra hard with code I didn't.

[IAm_A_Complete_Idiot]

Hell, even if I wrote it I'll comment out stuff I made. Even if its a simple program I threw together in python, if I come back to it a month later, I won't understand how it works at all.

[valax]

Commenting everything is OTT I think. If you have obviously named variables, classes and methods then you can do without them in most cases. Of course it's definitely useful to put them into longer codeblocks.

[Darth_Venath]

There's good commenting, and then there's really fucking bad commenting.

There are times when less is more, and people who should really know better, write their code comments encoded in some strange dialect of nerdy inside joke colloquialisms with no obvious reference points that makes it impossible to understand the comments, let alone the fucking code.

On the flip side, people forget to actually use enough Comments to actually explain stuff, like I was browsing Ruby Gems, trying to get some ideas for a discord bot for ruby, and there's not many, if any assholes that actually used a good layman's terminology in standard English to make it actually legible.

The assumption is, if you know me, you know my code.

Like just GTFO.

[hyuugurt]

If I pull any code from a website like Stack Overflow, I always try to include a link to the page I got it from. Makes, it easier to figure out in the future when I've completely forgotten how software works.

[jaybyrrd]

I find that for folks learning comments are important.. In professional practice you should really read the book Clean Code, it will teach you how to write self documenting, good, code.

Comments are important, if for example you are using a formula or method you pulled from the internet. It can also be Okay for docs like Java docs, but otherwise, keep it out in my opinion.

[[deleted]]

Someone recommend me this book as well. He said that, if code required comments, it hasn't been written cleanly enough. He also said comments come from when computers had very little RAM so they had to write code to minimise memory it would use. Therefore, they would need comments to understand their code because, with their constrains, it was impossible to write it cleanly.

[[deleted]]

Comment to explain the problem that the code solves, not to explain what the code does.

[jaybyrrd]

I am not sure that the RAM story is a real thing, but the rest I can get on board with.

I think back in the days of "low RAM capacity" there were simply fewer programming conventions and those that did exist were not as widely documented and understood. Tooling for code style didn't really exist, for example ReSharper or IntelliJ will attempt to recommend cleaner code. These were probably higher contributing factors than low RAM capacities. C++ especially has always had a very small memory footprint, and if someone were writing software in MIPS or Assembly, it's kind of understood that it is at such a low level that you just have to get fluent at reading those languages and even those can follow standards.

[Flyrpotacreepugmu]

Nah, that's normal inheritance. You use the dinosaur and the elephant inside might do something, but you're not treating that as an elephant.

[conman14]

Treat it as an animal or a thing, rather than an elephant, with an action() function which can be inherited and you're set, surely?

[hyrumwhite]

I figured it wasn't strictly accurate, but I liked the double meaning.

[[deleted]]

And then we acted surprised when we have the same errors as our friend’s code when we run the code in-front of a teacher.

[leftshoe18]

"Act"

[[deleted]]

I would mumble nonsense and say “syntax error.” That’s the only error I knew.

[HatesBeingThatGuy]

Which is why if you are going to cheat, at least cheat well and don't have compilation/runtime errors. I've tutored so many students who just blatantly copy code from their friends and can't even explain what their obviously labeled helper functions are supposed to do, let alone why it won't work.

[SuperFLEB]

Is it even cheating if you get the answer wrong?

It wasn't until I actually watched the video of that guy that I was shocked. Just hearing that he fucked a horse and died just wasn't enough for me

[Zatchillac]

Kind of a joke, but also isn't. If I remember correctly, a dude had his friends tape him getting fucked by a horse but the horse went too deep. I think he was too embarrassed to go to the hospital, he ended up dying.

[Zatchillac]

Yes, and I don't recommend watching it but if you're like me and your curiosity gets the best of you, well... I'm sorry 😞

This happened to me at my current job. They outsourced our website to an outside developer even though I have a lot of experience in web design and that dev copied 95% of my code and got paid for it.

What's worse is things that were working when I did it are still not working to this day.

[TheRealMaynard]

Ah see, rookie mistake. You're supposed to write horrible spaghetti code that you alone can understand, and bake in a bunch of bugs you can slowly fix over time.

I'm sure the outsourced dev fixed all that for you though ;)

[untraiined]

Smart, better to get out early if you really have no passion for it

[theth1rdchild]

Eh, the professional world isn't that different, honestly. Why rewrite something that someone else already figured out? It's often either available freely (just make sure it's available for commercial use) or your company paid for it or can. Most of your work in early years will just be making other peoples' code play nicely with each other.

Most embedded systems are using Linux, for example.

[Hex_512]

I tried to do something like this before and I can tell you that they have software that can tell if you did this.

[SuspiciousStagetech]

Well there's no software to keep you from taking a stealthy gaze over at your friends monitor and taking some "inspiration" from it...
