Manager: Write a function to get tomorrow's date.

Kids:

int getTomorrowsDate() {
return getCurrentDate() + 1;
}

Legends:

int getTomorrowsDate() {
sleep(1000*60*60*24);
return getCurrentDate();
}

But when the function finally returns the date, it isn't the date of tomorrow anymore but the date of today, is it?🤔🤔

(Legendary function)

Yesterday's date is a proper mind bender!

@Johnnyrook Simple, pass a negative integer to sleep, then the function will execute before you write the code.

Am I doing this right?

int getTomorrowsDate(int isItTomorrowYet = 0) {
if (isItTomorrowYet < 1000*60*60*24) {
sleep(1);
return getTomorrowsDate(++isItTomorrowYet);
} else {
return getCurrentDate();
}
}

You forgot the sleep(-1000*60*60*24*) to return to where you started.

If you were a real Dev , you would procrastinate the work till tomorrow and display “today’s “ date 😂

@kolaente Well he never said it had to be a quick function.

Now that deserves a ++

@Shodan Yeah but why though ?

@Ranguna Exactly, "but why?". The joke in this rant is about roundabout ways to do simple things. I just tried to amplify that.

@Shodan Hahaha right !

Me:

int getTommorowsDate() {
return getHotGirlsPhoneNumber();
}

@Shodan let's just assume the stack is big enough! ;) #pushtoproduction

@bittersweet At the expense of opening a black hole
