It's been a minute, but recently I found myself trying to recall: in Java, there is no scope outside of classes?

Aurigarion ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 04:23:25 on January 21, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

Correct, everything is a class, interface, or enum (or a member thereof).

d33pcode ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 08:07:12 on January 21, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

Well, I'm not sure about what do you mean, but I'll try to answer basing on what I know about Java (don't know how other languages manage scopes). In Java, a scope is the lifetime accessibility of an item โ€” that can be a variable, a method (or function) or a class. Scopes are usually assigned with access modifiers like this:

**public** class Foo() {...;}

**private** String bar;

**protected** void fooBar(){...;}

Assign scopes is kinda like telling where/when other objects/methods can use the item. For example: public is like saying "everyone can use this", private โ†’ "only items inside this class can use this" protected โ†’ "only items inside this package can use this".

Also, the scope of an item can depend on where it is declared. For example, a method parameter (a variable declared inside of a function) is not even visible outside of that method.

Which still means someone will have to cave in if there are conflicting beliefs, so that changes nothing.

Sure, any project must have a single, uniform coding style. That doesn't take away the only point I tried to make: Most of the time that style will be the one considered "default", which is Microsoft's opinion (braces on new line). Ergo, he's right, if you're using C# and like something like 1TBS you're probably not going to like the style used in most C# projects.

Well, ideally, the committed code should follow whatever standard is being used. If it doesn't, clean up the codebase and commit that separately, and add a lint rule to ensure all code follows the standard.

Not really, no. Uppercase constants are ugly and I'm glad it's not the common practice in C#. It makes sense in dynamic languages like PHP, but in a static language like Java or C# you don't need enums with VALUES when Values are sufficient and definitely more readable.

Because self-deprecating relatable humour is very popular on /r/me_irl. Some say it's the purpose of the sub, though it's not really enforced.

SafariMonkey ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 00:54:19 on January 21, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

Yes, but on /r/me_irl every post is titled me_irl, or some variation thereof. This often reflects that the poster relates strongly to the post. Thus, titling something me_irl implies you relate to it, in the same way as titling a post "rekt" indicates that someone in the post has been... rekt.

It's not that people are getting angry at your lack of being pissed off

It's that you clearly can't comprehend that someone that is power-tripping will not even consider another side of an argument.

If you want to be an uppity subreddit that stops slurs - THAT'S FINE

If you want to be an uppity subreddit that stops people using language that isn't slur-ish, then that just seems shallow and pedantic, especially, as someone earlier pointed out, for a non-serious sub meant for humor.

Getting banned for calling a toaster "bitchin'"? That's so dumb. That's a fucking compliment. People need to learn connotations are not definitions - connotations can change with how people use a word with this microcosmic example being an exemplary anecdote.

implying

A) somehow "being a jerk" and "SJW" are now just interchangeable and,

B) even if they were "SJW's" somebody who hadn't had any bad experiences with that sub until now would find that out and say "oh shit, I don't want to support that. I better boycott them and switch my allegiance to this other respectable subreddit".

Right, if you just lurk it might not matter too much to you. However, most people who subscribe(d) to that subreddit also want to interact (post and comment). If you get banned for the most mundane things, that's a reason for many people to get mad at the mods and move to a different subreddit (/r/meirl).

Just like this useless piece of shit.

Why is it useless?

psi- ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 18:24:32 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

Because it does not contain the information which key was not found. And by the time you usually catch it, the context in which indexed information is usable, is already gone. It would be extremely useful if it had even a weak reference to the object used as the key because GC is unlikely to happen during exception bubbling up.

Wouldn't you do something like this?

for(int i=0; i<10; ++i)
    try{
        int val = collection[i];
        f(val);
    }catch(KeyNotFoundException){
        print("skipping key " + i);
    }

There is always literal boatload of different places where one can be indexing a collection. Each one can throw. It's really not reasonable to decorate each one with a try-catch.

ThisIs_MyName ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:05:24 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

You can make it nicer if C# has lambdas.

apply_skip(collection, keys, [](auto val){
    f(val);
});

Or wrap the collection in a new collection that automatically skips unknown keys on iteration.

IMHO you really do have to specify at the call site whether you want to skip missing keys or hard-error. Attempting to make a judgement call outside of the function doing the indexing is some real javascript.

The issue here is that all standard indexable collections in .NET can throw that useless POS. Ain't nobody got the time to wrap all the used collections and even then you'd need to have something for the components you might've used.

Because shit is useless and even more so (less so?) when it's not whole.

Explain like I don't know C#.

Because I don't.

I don't know C# either. I was making one of those jokes where I use the original statement as "proof/source" for itself (in that OP said it's a "useless piece of shit"), but I guess it offended a bunch of people.

Vilavek ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 17:13:21 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

Well I DO know C# and can safely say that the people you've entertained are more important than the people you offended.

Thanks! For someone that knows intermediate C and basic C++, how much work do you think is needed to get into C#; also is it worth learning it or should i just master C++ and JAVA and Python?

Vilavek ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:51:02 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

Hah, I could ask you the same question. I've been thinking about learning C++ but it seems daunting compared to C#. I think C# is probably very easy to get into comparatively, so you should have no problems if you already have some C/C++ knowledge.

ThisIs_MyName ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:46:06 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

If C# is anything like Java, I think you'll find that C++1z is pretty amazing.

Vilavek ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:53:14 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

I wasn't aware of any of this C++17 stuff, and some how the addition of all those language features make learning C++ seem that much more intimidating lol..

ThisIs_MyName ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:02:07 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

Naw, all that sugar and type inference makes it incredibly easy to write fast code.

Vilavek ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:12:18 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

Well okay, as long as I can just carry on not fully understanding what my computer is doing or what the compiler really does to what I type like in C# I think I should be alright.

Sweet, sounds good! I'm very new to C++, but I can tell you C is a piece of pie. I learned programming on BASIC, which is (as you can guess from the name) a very basic language that is obscenely easy to program with.

C is a little harder than BASIC, and C++ seems to be just C with the ability to make "objects". I don't really like objects yet, but from the little tinkering I did, it didn't seem obscenely difficult. Just gotta remember what functions can access what objects.

Vilavek ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:07:27 on January 20, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

I started with Visual Basic 5 lol.. Bleh.. Eventually I found my way to C# without ever touching C/C++ and as a result I never got to deal with things like header files, not having a garbage collector, working with pointers (even though C# does support them), hell, multiple inheritance! I feel like I need to go back to C before I try C++.

I think you're in a better position to learn C# because really you're mostly learning the framework and how to not have to use language features you're already used to using. :P

Context aside, you clearly have the gumption to tell it how you believe it is, and for this reason I will always remember the name 745631258978963214.

So did you tag him or what?

If by tagged you mean in RES as "745631258978963214" in hot pink, then absolutely.
