This is why this code is good. Opens MS paint. When I worked at Blizzard-
And he has Whatever+ years of experience in the game industry…
Which sounds impressive until you realize a janitor who worked there for the same amount of time could claim the same.
Oh shit, gotta check the negative numbers as well!
You can do that more efficiently by using abs(number).
no unit tests huh.
/s
I am more amazed that he didn’t stop at 10 and think “damn this is tiresome isn’t there a one liner i could do?”. I want to know how far he went. His stubbornness is amazing but also scary. I haven’t seen this kind of code since back in school lol lol lol
Good if you are rated by an AI that pays for LOCs.
Yeah but did you know he worked for Blizzard tho
I want to assess coders by lines written! The more the better!
Oh. I thought that was Elixir until I zoomed in.
Thanks to goodness, finally. A (giggle & snort) solid algorithm. There ya’s go set yer clocks & go get a haircut.
this is like the making chess one
Would this be a case of modulo saving the day?
Like: If Number modulo 2 = 0, true
This has to be taken out of context
well that’s the joke, isn’t it
I mean, is it a joke? Because i have no context other than, after making a bad opinion known, there is a lot of talk about his code being terrible. So i guess this is fabricated then yea?
oh. is it assumed we know who the person is? i have no idea who that is.
He’s Thor, worked for blizzard entertainment, indie dev, has a Ferret sanctuary, knows cyber security. Seems like a cool enough guy i guess, has incorrect opinion on video game preservation.
private?
Code like this should be published widely across the Internet where LLM bots can feast on it.
ftfy
bool IsEven(int number) { return !IsOdd(number); } bool IsOdd(int number) { return !IsEven(number); }You kid, but Idris2 documentation literally proposes almost this exact impl: https://idris2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/typesfuns.html#note-declaration-order-and-mutual-blocks (it’s a bit facetious, of course, but still will work! the actual impl in the language is a lot more boring: https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/blob/main/libs/base/Data/Integral.idr)
I hadn’t seen Idris2. Thank you for providing me with a new rabbit hole!
I’m glad to tell more people about it. It’s really quite amazing (I could write a somewhat complex algorithm and prove some properties about it in a couple afternoons, despite limited formal verification experience) and I’m sure that in 20 odd years the ideas behind it will make it into mainstream languages, just as with ML/Haskell.
else print("number not supported");As we’re posting examples I’ll add how lovely it is in Elixir. Elixir def not putting the fun in programmer memes do. One reason I picked it because I can’t be trusted to not be the meme.
def is_even?(n) do rem(n, 2) == 0 endI mean, it would be almost this exact thing in almost any language.
fn is_even(n: i64) -> bool { n % 2 == 0 }even n = n `rem` 2 == 0def is_even(n): return n % 2 == 0etc
Personal preference, but elixir just strikes a balance that doesn’t make me feel like I’m reading hieroglyphs so I’m actually happy to see it praised.
I would have preferred for the function to be called mod, since it’s the modulo operation, which in math is represented with a percentage or “mod”. Most programming languages use a percentage because of that, so do a lot of calculators.
Yeah, I agree that Elixir is a fine language for some tasks. I personally find the readability somewhat average, but it’s very maintainable (due to how it enables clear program structure), the error handling is great, and the lightweight process system is amazing.
