All recursion has an end. If you did it right, it's a base case. If you did it wrong, it's a stack overflow.

Any good tools to help getting into programming? Might as well do something with my time.

What would you like to program? Web backend, web frontend, mobile apps, desktop apps, etc.? The best way to start is to solve problems for /

yourself. Start with small tools or websites. Learn about security implications and watch others works. For examples there are a lot of /

tutorials on Youtube that give a nice broad direction for you to dive into. But the best way is just go and break stuff. /

Ah, yes. You go from "what idiot wrote this?" to "Of course I know him. He's me."

I would love to get to the point where I can code without needing a tutorial of some sort, but I fear that day will never come.

At some point you just learn enough to know exactly what you don't know, and then you google the question and find a stack overflow thread
firehawkns
As a sysadmin that hates programming now expected to program to save money for share holders I feel this so hard!
Confidentdistance
Find some small projects and make them by Googleing each individual problem. Then you will understand the tech better than seeing it all.

Congrats, you failed to write a base case. You will now recurse until you crash due to stack overflow.

If you don't know what a base case is just look it up on stackoverflow.

But before we understand recursion, we must first understand recursion.

One of my linguistics text books had the term 'recursion' in its index; it just said "see 'recursion' " :'-)

What the hell I think #5 is actually my oc from Twitter!
natio2
Can you explain it for my friend
Samsyma
Here is it is: [Object object]
KoryNunn
In JavaScript, if you stringify an object, you get [object Object]. Posting it as feedback will potentially make a developer see it and 1/2
natio2
Thanks for explaining =] JavaScript is not a language I've touched so it meant nothing to me
KoryNunn
They might believe they have a bug, because it implys something weird has happened. They will search for ages and never find the bug.

Can someone please explain #6? I have no idea what that one does.

{ ... return true; } // returns "true" ...most of the time
IconicM
Rand() % 100 returns a random number between 0-100, so this defines "true" as having a 2% chance of being true.
porpoiseoflife
trueunpopularopinions
*98%
torillatavataan
* pseudorandom. * 0-99. * 99% chance
fallingbomb
Yes 0-99 but 98% chance since both 99 and 98 both not less than 98.
ddbrown30
It's < 98, not <=. Valid numbers are 0-97 with 98 and 99 being invalid i.e. 2 out of 100 possible values. It's 98%.
BurritosaretheonlyFood
In programming true and false are binary terms, on/off. This redefines the 'on' state or true to have a 2% chance to be false or 'off'.
LetumComplexo
Well, no. #define replaces all instances of the first argument with instances of the second *before* compilation. So any booleans without
LetumComplexo
the statement “true” will be unaffected.
UKMonkey
if someone were to type if (true) it would succeed 98% of the time.
CyberAkuma
So it's basically going to screw up "=true" types of binary checks in the code?
GoGoats19
Yes, which means that 2% of the time your logic statements will fail which means you will have a bug that’s near impossible to find :)
CyberAkuma
Heh, yeah, once I realized it's replacing that check/variable with a 2% chance to randomly fail I realized how evil that was.

#1 was usually a printf() on embedded systems left in for debug.

In the spaghetti I inherited and have been slowly murdering.. there's this one off program called "do_nothing". The source is literally /
n0gal
nothing but printing to the screen "I did nothing" and if I delete it the whole stack crashes.
Mechame
Nice! what language?
n0gal
That particular one is about 8 million lines of shell script. It's like spaghetti met a cheese grater.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
If you had not said shell script I would think that brief jump was changing the output of the assembler or optimizer.

We're moving to a new product, boss asked me what I was doing to do to port the code forward to the new system. Told him I wasn't going to /

Last time I saw one like that, it was a recursive function that set value "pizza" to 0. "pizza" was never seen anywhere else in the code, 1/
LordNergal
and the function was called upon by nothing else. But may all the gods help you if you deleted it. 2/2
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Did you ever try assigning pizza to something else?
AyrA
Something was probably doing questionable pointer arithmetic and removing pizza changed the memory layout
LordNergal
I don't even want to know how they arrived at "pizza" as the solution.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
I wouldn't be surprised if their recursion assignment in college or a textbook involved pizza and as they tailored the example pizza stayed
IHaveNoEyeDeer
but when you don't reference it the optimizer removes it, shifts another variable off a word boundary breaking a pointer reference.
