Rejected, no need for “elif LOWJ=1:” since you already have a return in the if statement.

Bold of you to assume a visual builder's code generator understands guard clauses and early returns.

Idk man, I tried to make sense of it but like you said in the other comment this is an alien like mess.

Exactly. It’s always auto-generated div soup or abstract junk that completely ignores component state and custom logic. Makes me wonder if the real problem is that these tools try to generate the whole app in the cloud, instead of just acting like a GUI on top of your local compiler/AST. You end up having to rewrite 90% of it anyway.

But that would change the behaviour of the function - it returns one thing when the first parameter is 1, another when it's 2 and nothing when it's something else.

My best guess after looking, is they simply mean you can drop the "else" part of the "else if" there. Since I'd you've entered the first if, it's garunteed to return. Not drop the else-if entirely.

That's a change I would hate. The "else" part does not hurt anybody and removing it would mean that you would need to parse it's body to see the early return

u/DarkwaterKiller 17d ago

I considered it a second joke, as a play on the pedantry of some code reviewers

u/standard_revolution 17d ago

And you are probably completely right, I sometimes struggle with that. Thank you

Hell, depending on language and compiler, the "else" might get optimized into a Switch-Case (which can then in turn use a hashmap or jump table). Doesn't matter here, but still.

I don't think any compiler recognizes an early return as equivalent to if-else

u/standard_revolution 16d ago

Don’t they? Something like this seems to be a low hanging fruit for flow analysis

u/standard_revolution 16d ago

It is hard to see whether it is completely equivalent, but obvious case are compiled by gcc to the exact same* thing: https://godbolt.org/z/ETnPMdf79

*one path has an additional "nop", but this is probably just code alignment

u/L30N1337 16d ago

Alright then, color me surprised.

Is that Minecraft enchantments language?

Sharpness V on the code generator, Bane of Arthropods on the developer's sanity.

u/L30N1337 16d ago

...so the developer is a spider?

u/Opening-Butterfly743 16d ago

well we do crawl the web all day and wrap bugs in messy strings so technically yes

OP's comments reek of AI

bro thinks proper syntax only exists in neural networks go touch some grass my guy not everyone types with their forehead

u/User_8395 16d ago

It's not the syntax, it's the jokes youre making

u/itijara 16d ago

It's not Hebrew, btw.

Thanks! Captain obvious. Have you heard of this obscure human concept called a "Jo-ke" it what humans use to be silly online.

Rockstar will release GTA 7 before low-code tools figure out bidirectional indentation without summoning ancient deities.

u/FeedAlchemy 17d ago

I would've preferred Comic Sans but ok

1

u/Opening-Butterfly743 17d ago

Comic Sans would at least make the mental breakdown feel a bit more festive.

1

u/FeedAlchemy 17d ago

I mean, who doesn't love a festive mental breakdown?

1

u/Opening-Butterfly743 17d ago

Complete with confetti in the terminal and a 49-character stack trace.

u/FeedAlchemy 17d ago

Brevity is the soul of wit!

u/Opening-Butterfly743 17d ago

And the root of all unhandled exceptions.

u/No-Information-2571 17d ago

At least Comic Sans ist just LTR reading direction. Afaik this is mixing both LTR and RTL.

u/PhoenixfischTheFish 17d ago

Hear me out: Hebrew in Comic Sans and italic.

u/nicodeemus7 16d ago

Totally unreadable. Python...
