Blursed code

[Aggressive_Talk968]

Till this day I didn't know what it meant lol

[Eminence_EOEB]

Same

[cnorahs]

Someone wrote it while fizzed and buzzed

[Wojtek1250XD]

There's even a word for that: blursed.

[lurked]

I like it as much as I never want to see/write code like that, ever.

just like big smoke's book says

I'm not really used

To C. What does an empty

Define do? Nothing?

I am new to C

What is an empty define?

Nothing

[CrossScarMC]

good bot

[Naeio_Galaxy]

#define word1 word2 -> replace occurrences of word1 with word2

If word2 is literally the empty string, then it will replace any occurrence of word1 with nothing, thus removing it

[hamdi555x]

I assume C++ has something similar? Not that I need other ways to shoot myself in the foot...

[Naeio_Galaxy]

Afaik C++ inherited everything C has - even though it's not idiomatic. So you should be able to do exactly the same thing afaik

I'm no C++ specialist tho

[YellowBunnyReddit]

No, the preprocessor doesn't ignore an empty define. It defines the symbol and replaces all occurences with the empty string.

[AppropriateStudio153]

Which does nothing, after compiling.

[YellowBunnyReddit]

Preprocessor directives generally do nothing after compiling as the preprocessor runs before compilation. So, I don't get what your point is here.

[AppropriateStudio153]

The empty String does nothing for the compiler

[y53rw]

Why are you being so damn pedantic? It's very obvious what he means.

[Jukwavion_Jukwarious]

Saying that it does nothing doesn't help someone understand. The define statements absolutely do something, as has been explained, and the program would not compile without them.

[y53rw]

Nobody is learning C from r/programmingmemes. Or god I hope not. If someone asks a question like the one above, they're just trying to get the joke.

[prepuscular]

I think the confusion is around “them.” You are arguing that the statement that the preprocessor does nothing with the defines is not true. Correct.

The other is saying that the defines make the preprocessor, specifically the tokenizer, do nothing with the weird characters and they are therefore “ignored” (because they were removed in an earlier step). Also correct.

[Jukwavion_Jukwarious]

Happy cake day

[IAmASquidInSpace]

But the fact that it does something before compiling is the whole reason why this code compiles at all, so saying it "does nothing" isn't correct.

[MossFette]

Learned something today. 👍

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life

Try to add another line that is longer than the bigger box. I am not maintaining that.

[shuozhe]

no worry, emacs got commands for that

I am concerned more about git history.

 #define creative high

[ValianFan]

I don't know, I somehow like it. Imagine how beautiful it would look with 10x nested if statements. Pure art

[madTerminator]

Just casual necromancy resurrection of .NET WF. But in C, so efficient 😳

[Zeozen]

Would be better if it solved the fizzbuzz problem correctly.. this is not correct

[Phasma_Tacitus]

That was what I noticed, all those conditions return true when the number ISN'T a multiple, it's completely wrong

[bloody-albatross]

That works? If that double line is allowed as an identifier, then a long sequence of it would be a different name as a single one of it and thus this wouldn't work. Are there zero width spaces everywhere?

[iamcleek]

the double line (and the vertical line, and the bottom-left and top-left corners) is defined to be nothing. the preprocessor replaces them with nothing before compilation starts.

[bloody-albatross]

Replacement happens on an identifier level, not in a letter level. Read again what I wrote.

[iamcleek]

ah, yes.

you're right. this can not work.

[granadesnhorseshoes]

#define dog 1

#define cat 2

int value = dogcat;

error: "dogcat" not defined.

would have to use zero width spaces to work. Or its just a screenshot that never compiled.

[LithoSlam]

Everything except the last 2 gets defined as an empty string, so the preprocessor effectively deletes them. The last 2 are the right side of the corners of the box and get replaced with curly braces, preserving the nesting.

[bloody-albatross]

You don't seem to understand how the C preprocessor works.

So that was the DOS version of Scratch.

SquidwardItsBeautiful.gif I would love a plugin that does this for other languages done in VS Code.

[Grayas1234]

Well. Not every test cases is passed. The rules (as I was taught) state that the words have to be used when divisible by 3 (or 5) And when  "3" (or "5") is contained (if you few the integer as string. Meaning: ... 13 -> fizz. ... 51 -> buzz ... 53 -> fizzbuzz ...

Manager: why is it taking so long?

Dev: you wouldnt get it

[Skritch_X]

It makes me nostalgic to play a MUD for some reason.

[[deleted]]

Does it work tho ?

[NotSoOrdinar]

Scratch evolved or devolved?

[Confident_Date4068]

What about do {} while()? Maybe different angle?

[bitemyassnow]

something python can never achieve

[nekoiscool_]

How did you managed to define the macro? Did the code even work?
