Oooh, that is tempting. The main pain would be center justifying the code. Perhaps if it was left justified...

[-] Gobbel2000@programming.dev 44 points 1 week ago

Clearly we need self-centering support from editors.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 week ago

Just one more reason to do your coding in Word.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Technically that is a reason

[-] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago

I think the main pain would be manually aligning the frames on every line with every change, occasionally having to extend the width and updating every line of code to match it

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

My employer's CI rejects extended ASCII characters :(

[-] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Really? You never use the occasional   or something?

Edit: my client actually parses the space lol

[-] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Just remembered not all projects have a web interface or an interface at all

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Backslashes are not extended ASCII

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's normal, you should just use Unicode in that case.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago
[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Feel free to encode it whichever way suits you best.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Unless it's ISO 8859-1, apparently.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure if you're completely up to date on this whole Unicode thing.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure if you're completely up-to-date on this whole encoding thing.

This only half as bad as the emoji soup macros

This would musk to write, but is honestly really readable.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

Remember the meme where all the parentheses are on the right hand side? This meme is the same.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

super minor but I always preferred to define fizzbuzz as modulo 3*5 to show adherence to the instructions in the readability of the code without having to think about why

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Mmm I think they are missing == 0

[-] stingpie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You could do this in basic ASCII, with only three defines. replace "_ " with "{", replace "_;" with "}", and "_" with nothing. If your compiler processes macros in the correct order, it will become valid code. (You would use semicolons as the vertical lines)

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Have they #defined out the equals symbol? I don't think that for loop is going to compile.

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 24 points 1 week ago

The symbol they defined out is not the equals symbol but rather U+2550, so the for loop is fine.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago
[-] notabot@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

The #define = line would mean the = would be effectively removed, rendering the for a syntax error. That is, assuming it is an equals sign they've redefined, and not similar looking character.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

that's not a =, it's a โ• (U+2550 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE HORIZONTAL). you can tell because == doesn't connect but โ•โ• does.

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Fair point, I wasn't sure it was the equals, hence my initial question. Drawing boxes with the box drawing characters does make a lot more sense.

[-] _____@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

It looks like a different symbol of you were to compare the characters length in pixels

the equals and the horizontal double bars seem different to me.
