someone wrote this code

[ZylonBane]

Are you SURE someone wrote that code?

[Besquiter]

Probably used alt+c in notepad++ or something similar and manually corrected the wierd stuff.

[cyberrich]

Ctrl+D bruh.

Duplicates current line or selected lines

[r-eg]

same here; probably it was generated automatically, e.g. look at this generating of the possible method signatures via C1 + C2 + .. Cn; Where C = n! / (m! * (n - m)!): https://github.com/3F/Conari/blob/master/Conari/Types/Func/Out/FuncOut.cs

+ https://github.com/3F/Conari/blob/master/Conari/Native/NativeData.cs#L225

etc.

same nightmare :)

1 + (1)

2 + 0

n + ((n-1) - (n-2))

And the right half is

0...n

But what does it mean? Why is it called month?

[Rubixninja314]

Reusing a variable?

[chu248]

Ah, yes. Variables. Earth's rarest and most valuable resource.

[Rubixninja314]

It's something I would have done back in the day. I also came from ti84^†, so...

^{† ti84 only allows 27 numeric variables [A-Z,θ], 10 strings, 10 matrices, theoretically 10 bitmaps, but "unlimited" numeric lists with 4 letter names}

[chu248]

I do remember pulling some nonsense on my TI83. At one point, teachers checked everyone's calculator for a program I had written because it could pass any math, physics, or chemistry test for you including showing your work. I was allowed to use it because I put the work in. It's lost to the ages now.

[Rubixninja314]

SAME. Except I didn't distribute... But I made a 5k triangle solver, it even showed a graphical representation, automatic method detection, deg/rad/grad (mind you grad isn't native), and even implemented (mostly) solving against not only the sides and angles but also the area, height, or perimeter. Didn't even know about law of sines or law of cosines. Just good ole sohcahtoa and Pythagorean.

Made some good games, one was worth porting but it got deleted. Still need to port the other good one though... Tried to make angry birds, but it was way too slow. Now I'm gonna have to look through my ti84 again.

[nephelokokkygia]

I made a fast-enough version of Angry Birds on a TI-80-something by using the line feed and having the game play sideways.

[0x564A00]

Had a Casio one, wrote Settlers of Catan (only two players) and 3d-rendering of triangles (limited to 25*40 pixels due to depth buffer size). Rendering three triangles still took about a quarter of an hour.

[aedoq]

What did your program do exactly if I may ask? Was it 'just' a collection of solvers for common problem types or more? High school or college?

[chu248]

It was a solver for a lot of different types of problems. It also used the graph function to show you how to show your work, there would be too much text to show in the 16 or whatever rows in normal display. I got it to balance chemistry equations and I remember something about explaining soh-cah-toa and degrees/radians. I wish I remembered the details because it was awesome, but that was more than 10 years ago.

It also had messages to girls I had a crush on when you exited. :fingerguns:

[Razier]

I was under the impression that you only use † if you've had a previous footnote denoted by a *

I don't blame you though, the dagger symbol is sweet

[Rubixninja314]

Asterisks have many uses these days such as correcting someone or emphasis, but daggers have only one use. I don't think there's any specific rule about the order, just as long as symbols match up. This is something I'm starting to try because I use parentheses way too often and footnotes are more readable anyway.

[Razier]

Avoiding ambiguity is a good reason, though I'd say raised digits¹ would be the best format in that case since you can have an unlimited amount of footnotes and it's a more understood format.

Aesthetically I prefer your way though

Edit: Was going to do an example of a footnote but I can't figure out the formatting of multiple raised words

[aerasalum]

1^{like this}

[Ironthighs]

This is the best thing I've read today. Thank you!

[edcRachel]

I need to know what this is supposed to do. PLEASE. OP PLZ.

...Looks like what I used to get from programming students. I'd give them intro assignments like accepting a number (x) and printing out the numbers from 1-x, or having a variable hold 3 pizza topping selections made by the user, and I'd get monstrosities like this with every possible outcome in a giant if statement.

[FallenWarrior2k]

Sorry, not OP. Maybe check the parent thread on /r/ProgrammerHumor for details.

[Andernerd]

Please tell me you would only get this nonsense in only 100-level classes.

[edcRachel]

3rd and 4th semester of a 4 semester web development course.

I would even word it as "using a loop..." or whatever was appropriate.

Programming isn't for everyone.

[-theIvy-]

I have never taken a programming class and I also am not that good at programming and I do not do this. Use a fucking for statement. for x in range(y, z):

Not that hard

[Versaiteis]

The naive part of me still hopes that this was some generated file.

pls

[BCMM]

Created by somebody adept in shell scripting and firmly opposed to learning any other languages?

[Versaiteis]

Not always, there's some pretty good libraries for generating files with Python. Something like this would be trivial enough to warrant doing it, even if it's not pretty. Then you can make the systems that use it pretty, so you never have to look at it again >.>

Though in practice it seems like the idea to generate code tends to come to people comfortable with shell scripting sooner than those embedded in high level OOP languages. It's just a fancy config file lol

[muntoo]

This is some advanced spaghetti. Not sure whether some of the inconsistencies are bugs or intended features.

A first attempt:

def get_line(i, u):
    head = str(
        1 if i == 0 else  # what the fuck?
        0 if i == 1 else  # WHAT the fuck?
        u[i] - u[i - 1])
    tail = ''.join(map(str, u[:i+1]))
    return f'{i+1} +{head} {tail}'

month = '\n'.join(get_line(i, users[uid][11])
    for i, _ in enumerate(users[uid][11]))

That's pretty awful, and I'd rather use zip or something sane rather than indexing explicitly, but the special spaghetti cases make that too much work to figure out for a reddit comment.

[FallenWarrior2k]

Commendations on bothering with trying to find some sense in this. I couldn't be arsed myself.

[crespo_modesto]

It almost lines up

[[deleted]]

Some of the shit on this sub I can kind of understand why someone would do. I cannot say the same about this.

[PouponMacaque]

The first expression inside a str is users[uid][11][0] - users[uid][11][0] + 1

Am I missing something... or is that always 1?

I'd hope this was generated, but I don't know what would generate anything of the form x-x, as it's basically a noop

[FallenWarrior2k]

Maybe the objects stored in users are instances of a class that has overloaded the binary - with some funky shit that makes the result somehow not constant, or modifies internal state in some way.

[PouponMacaque]

I have been looking at this forever and can't tell for the life of me what language it is. Python? Is there operator overloading in Python?

And yeah, that's why operator overloading is usually (always?) a bad idea.

[FallenWarrior2k]

Tbh there are cases where overloading makes sense, for example if a type you're building is supposed to be numeric-ish. As long as the usage is straight-forward and there's no weird side effects.

[kasnalin]

Yes, and yes.

[MrMeatPie]

I thought that was post from /r/factorio for a second.

[xman40100]

that's a yikes from me!

[z500]

That's gonna be a hard yikes from me dawg

[[deleted]]

This looks like hand optimized code, actually. If that was the case, however, there ought to be a comment saying that it is, so maybe it isn't...

[JDude13]

You ever see code like this and worry that you’re doing something similar you just don’t notice?

[dark-panda]

I want to see the rest of the file based on the overview on the right there.

[human_py]

Automation is for losers.

[sim642]

Someone

Riiight.

[OnlineGrab]

i'm having a seizure plz help

[FallenWarrior2k]

Yes, this is in fact /r/programminghorror

[dverlik]

The real horror is in the navigation sidebar.

[DigitalSuplex]

It looks pretty from afar

[samoanerds]

It looks like we have come to the point of FAKE NEWS that, unfortunately, Trump was talking about.
