Help! It didn't change my code at all it's just the same!

Can't Improve Upon Perfection

Congrats then...

Is that pronounced "shitty er" or "shit tier?" 🤔

[-] radix@lemm.ee 15 points 8 months ago

"Shitty-er" to rhyme with "prettier", I would guess.

[-] loics2@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

"pret tier"?

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

Yes

[-] geogle@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Superb-owl

So....basically a prettier. I've never seen them improve the readability of my code. If I want pretty code, I just write pretty code :shrug:

All the prettiers do is just 'eff up my deliberate indentations and break the editor's ability to collapse code sections.

Sounds like you're using a shittier prettier

[-] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Same. There is a logic to all code choices. Even basic things like the placement of empty lines to group code into 'idea blocks' massively helps with readability. This idea block touches x, and this next idea block touches y.

A tool can't perform perform even basic logic like that.

If you have a lot of semantic breakpoints (like the end of a concept) that don't line up with syntactic breakpoints (like the end of a method or expression body) your code probably needs to be refactored. If you don't, then automatic code formatting is probably all you need.

function is_equal (x, y) {
  if (x == y)
      print("x is equal to y")
      return true;
  return false;
}

Wouldn’t this fail to compile due to the missing semicolon, and if that is corrected only ever return true?

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Compile? This is JavaScript! Semicolons are optional, didn't you know?

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

Mmm I don’t think this could be JavaScript. Unless we are always returning true.

function is_equal (x, y) {

if (is_equal(x,y))

  print("x is equal to y")

  return true;

return false;

}

Fixed it for you

function is_equal (x ,y) {
    if (Math.Random() > 0.38) {
        console.log(x + " is equal to " + y)
        return true
    }
    
    return false
}
