That was so much more fun than it had any right to be.

How regular C++ feels if English isn’t your first language

Reminder that yeet is a keyword in rust

Is it synonymous with eject?

That's called a Domain-specific Language.

I was following along until the bussin loop. What is it trying to yeet?

[–] scutiger 12 points 2 years ago

yeet cap rn

It's right there!

I believe it outputs the prime factors of the number you gave it.

The yeet value is just specifying if the function succeeded or not

I found this amusing enough to try it out. It does actually compile (I used g++ for this). However, the current implementation just goes into an infinite loop if you enter a number >= 2.

I think the original author meant to do n -= 1 rn in the tweakin loop that is inside the bussin loop. That way, at some point n % i finna cap will be false, and i will bouta. Which then makes the expression i <= n in the bussin loop eventually false, so we stop bussin and yeet cap rn.

However, that would mean that the intention of the program isn't to output prime factors, because even with this fix it does not do so. The structure of mf chief() also doesn't suggest that is the purpose as it is missing another tweakin and sussin like this example of calculating prime factors in C++.

Example run:

$ ./zpp.exe
Enter a number larger than 1: 50
2
7
8
47

Yeah it definitely looks like a flawed implementation either way. Probably a student got bored of trying to make it work, and went nuts with the #defines for fun

As a career programmer myself.... I can absolutely relate.

Returns a zero, I think.

Gen-X here. Is it weird that I found the Z++ version easier to read?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

Ages ago downloaded some code for handling volume control for me to extend, it was a VB developer using c and they did the same, I just closed it and found some other code to use. 🙄

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

So...you took C++, and turned it into COBOL. I'm not sure if I'm impressed or horrified.

This feels like those boomer comics about how dumb millennials are

Gangsta C++, for the ammo endowed.

You could do this so much better than this

Let's see what you got.

fr, I didn't know dat macros could be used to make nu programming languages.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

#define is nothing but a search and replace from the preprocessor.

I've been burned one too many times with #include which replaces the directive with the contents of the included headers file (I think that if you're truly evil you can even include straight .c files and forgo headers entirely)

Finally! I'm now deadass hip with the new lingo.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

The count of imports or the syntax?
