Do something silly like
if (true) {
$a = 1;
}
When you're declaring variables. For shits and giggles of course

Seems that you are a newcomer.

Kuba kuba = new Kuba();

kuba.print("Welcome to devRant!");

@jAsE imagine when you missed a semicolon and the error log gives you more than 100 errors saying 'Probably a semicolon is missing....'

Make a program that parses your project en unrolls every loop. Let that program run on itself :)

This actually happened to one of my friend's class. It's so silly coz he has a solution thats like 30 - 40 lines but the teacher rejected it coz its not thousands of lines XD

Write a code that writes a source code, with a lot of random for loops and printf:s with random messages.

Use COBOL. A simple Hello World is about two pages long, of you print it.

Apply a short line length code style. More lines, same logic.

@Tasperen while this is fine in PHP and JS (when using var) in most programming languages that I'm aware of there is a block scope which means $a is not available outside that if's body

TerriToniAX

@dimitarnestorov The more lines then.
int a;
if(true)
{
a = 1;
}
And @Tasperen, if you want to make it really silly, add an else block to that... 8))

@Umbra On my Commodore 16 that would have been a hell of a lot. 12 KB programmable memory, in Basic. You do the maths :)

I'm actually the kind of guy who would do that. No wonder my marks are bad at times 😂

No problem. I can even write a "hello world" in more than 2k lines. Only for fun of course. That's a cool challenge by the way. I need to design that ;)

If I were a teacher it'd go the other way.
you get 100 lines each 80 columns write a program that does this and that.

Why give a code line number minimum, give them a maximum they'll learn to program much better that way.
