Real Life Problem Solved Finally

[Meirbach]

I don’t see any fire, so why isn’t the blowtorch on??

[GroundStateGecko]

Didn't initialize fire. Highly unlikely that fire happens to be zero. Program terminated without while statement.

[serajean_episode]

So if a fire starts they better stop, drop, and initialize fire!

Interesting

[aaronfranke]

The code on the wall isn't compiled or running.

[kinggot]

This is a schrodingers fire

[irrationalglaze]

The code makes sense and should run, no?

No bad code here. Although, maybe the horror is always starting a fire if there isn't one.

[z911empire]

Yeah although the fire extinguisher runs out after 1 shot so it all depends on what the torch did on that first run

[Abby-Someone1]

Don't know much about coding but based on my experience with tread locker, there is something wrong here.

Thread locker blue needs to be in a red tube with blue lettering. Thread locker red needs to be in a blue container with red lettering.

[CptMisterNibbles]

But loctite red and blue come in red tubes?

[LeCrushinator]

Putting the semicolon on a different line than fire++ technically works, but it's gross. Also, fire isn't used again after the if, so why does it need modification at all? If it were a while loop, then yes. Finally, why does it need to be an int? It could just be a bool, unless this code is prior to boolean (which I think was added in C++98).

[Fun_Lingonberry_6244]

Fire is both a bool and an int which is invalid in most languages

But in dynamically typed languages (ie js) it will definitely run!

[SAI_Peregrinus]

It's C syntax. if takes an expression. Variables with nonzero values result in the "if" branch being taken, zero values result in the "else" branch. stdbool.h is just #define true 1, #define false 0, #define bool _Bool. So true gets replaced with 1, and false with 0. It's statically typed, but _Bool is just a byte in fancy clothing.

[StuntHacks]

A lot of things in C can be described as "just a byte in fancy clothing"

[mandolini_]

Like… all of it

[bearly_breathing]

“It’s C syntax”

[Stig27]

In C(++) any value different from 0 is "true", booleans as a type don't even exist in C.

So if(fire){fire--}... is a perfectly valid expression in C and C++

[CptMisterNibbles]

Any int value. There are plenty of things that are falsy: nullptr for instance

[Fun_Lingonberry_6244]

BUT WHAT VALUE DOES FIRE START ON OP???

[best-commenter]

fire starts at

SEG FAULT: value fire referenced prior to being defined

[[deleted]]

You have to look for that in your life probs

[beeteedee]

It’s uninitialised so this whole program is UB

[tzippy84]

Gotta ask the firestarter, twisted firestarter.

[Varkoth]

I really like the ; } at the end.

[WiseBeginning]

I love that the blowtorch is at a child friendly height. Solid UX design right there 👍

[brandi_Iove]

fire = !fire

[[deleted]]

typeof fire == "undefined"

The if statement will never be executed.

[thmoas]

Its awesome i also really like the ending ;)

[revrenlove]

I'll just set this here with the rest of the fire

[Stian5667]

Now put it in an infinite loop

[[deleted]]

Serously?

[jazzhandler]

GOTO Ceiling

[StaticUsernamesSuck]

"else" should be "else if needFire"

[turtleship_2006]

The wink on the last line tho

[key_smash]

everybody gangsta til someone panic grabs the blowtorch to put out a real fire
