"Age is just a number"
No, "Age" is clearly a string.

When you spend too much time doing JS...

When my mom asks about my problems :p

This is real.

String query = "select password from users where username = " + username;

You know what really grinds my gears?

Seeing a 5-line comment, that have absolute no value, for a variable declaration.

Example:

/*
*
* String that holds a delivery address.
*
*/
public String deliveryAddress;

Every time I write Strong instead of String i do 10 push ups.

Note to myself : Searching "String LaTeX" on google might give you something quite different from what you expected

/**
* It gets the user name
*/
public String getUsername() {
return this.username;
}

Working with a "senior frontend developer"

HIM: committed this code, and took him 2 weeks before his first commit on our project
var str = ''

if (string == 'String Here') {
str = 'stringhere'
} else if ( string == 'Another String Here') {
str = 'anotherstringhere'
} and so on ...

ME: WTF?
ME: can we do it like this?
ME: str = string.replace(/\s/g, '').toLowerCase()

Maybe he is senior by age :D

So no odd numbers in a string then?

C is a cool programming language where if you want to return a string from a function you have to set up an entire physical-universe human social system for adjudicating who is responsible for freeing it "In order to create a C string, you must first create civilization"

"In order to create a C string, you must first create civilization"

Two strings walk into a bar and sit down. The bartender says, “So what’ll it be?”

The first string says, “I think I’ll have a beer quag fulk boorg jdk^CjfdLk jk3s d#f67howe%^U r89nvy~~owmc63^Dz x.xvcu”

“Please excuse my friend,” the second string says, “He isn’t null-terminated."

Coworker: I give up! Please help me!

Me: What's up?

C: Take a look at this. I have this function here that gets the tab index and I'm passing it to the Tabs component over there. I'm logging the index and as you can see it's 3, but the Tabs component isn't working. However if I replace the function call with a 3 it works!

Coworker 2: While you were explaining all that, shellbug already thought about at least 3 reasons why that isn't working.

Me: **sighs** Of what type is the value that function is returning?

C: **stares at me for a few seconds** It's a number.

Me: Are you sure?

C: Well, it's returning 3.

Me: Please do a typeof.

It was string.

These two strings walk into a bar and sit down. The bartender says, "So what'll it be?"

The first string says, "I think I'll have a beer quag fulk boorg jdk^CjfdLk jk3s d#f67howe%^U r89nvy owmc63^Dz x.xvcu"

"Please excuse my friend," the second string says, "He isn't null-terminated."

Fun fact: if you send a string as response from a java Servlet to Ajax request. The string isn't null terminated.

wanna know how I found out. I didn't for 2 whole FUCKING days.

No shit Sherlock...

Getting the nth character of a string.

Every other language:

string[n]

Swift:

Just looking at code, my colleague ("Senior Java Developer"), wrote...

if (process == "null") {...}

As you can guess, process is a String.

I just don't know what I can tell him. It's just so wrong, in every possible way...

I never make the same mistake twice, I make it eight or nine times just to be sure.

String name;

String dob;

Looking into a helper class written by someone who was clearly not a master of their craft. The class deals with some string IDs...

public getIDPosition1(String id){
return id.substring(0,1);
}

So far so useless. But it gets better. What is declared immediately below the above method?

public getIDPosition2(String id){
return id.substring(1,2);
}

And below that? You guessed it:

public getIDPosition3(String id){
return id.substring(2,3);
}

This continues to position 10.... -.-

Why is this so true 😅

Recently saw a piece of code left by a former coworker where he converted an int to a long, by converting it to a string, then parsing the string.

I programmed a random credit card generator at school and saved it to my :F drive which is the private drive for students to save stuff to. That night I tried accessing my account and it had notified me that it had been locked. I went into school the next day and was called into the office, the principal and Tech Administrator were there waiting for me and asked what the file was. The Tech Administrator tried to describe to me what he found
"This gen.html file seems to be malicious and puts our school at risk. It seems to be some sort of malware and stuff like that is prohibited at school."
Now me sitting in the chair listening to this, laughing in my head just said "okay" and nodded my head because he is the type of person to argue forever. They came to the conclusion to unlock my account by the end of the semester.
Just goes to show that it doesn't take much to get a Tech Admin position at a school.

Why use boolean for a simple flag when you can use a fucking nullable string? Kurwa no.

To convert an int number to a string I do this:-

String s=10+"";

public String getDbPasswd(){
try{
String dbPasswd = SomeInhouseEncryptionLib.getPasswd("/hard/coded/path/to/key");
return dbPasswd;
} catch(Exception e){
LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE,e)
return "the-actual-password";
}
return null;
}

To all the programmers calling “ToString()” on variables that are already of type String....

Please stop.

Unless you had a horrible accident where you lost most of your fingers, I don't understand why anyone would do this. I had to double check I wasn't looking at obfuscated code.

Reverse the given string without using inbuilt java methods... 😭😭😭😭

Every time you will get this question even when you have more than 6 yrs of experience 😡

I've taken over a project with legacy code, this is one of the methods:

{
return value1 == value2;
}

Also, the opening brackets are on a new line

Glad to be back!

Here's something that came up in the online class today 😂

A string array...

This guy who earns 20% more than me wrote a method to check which string of 2 is lexicographically smaller.

String [] temp = new String[2];
temp[0] = s1;
temp[1] = s2;
Collections.sort(temp);
if (temp[0].equalsIgnoreCase(s1)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}

i really love coding because in C# you write string, and in Arduino String( with a capital s). You mess this up and nothing works.
10/10 would rewrite the whole program again because of this.

Yeah.

Perfect way for generating random string...

Let's write some Java line by line, go!

public static void main(String[] args) {

string
Java:

"/path/to/my/file.swift:143:34: error: cannot convert return expression of type 'String.SubSequence' (aka 'Substring') to return type 'String'"

Ah yes, I love it when Substring isn't String

Java: String foo =“bar”;
C#: var foo = “bar”;
Go: var foo string = “bar”

I just started learning Go and I’ve been cringing since.

Two C strings walk into a bar.
The bartender asks "What can I get ya?"
The first string says "I'll have a gin and tonic."

"Please excuse my friend," the second string says, "He isn't null-terminated."

Ahhh yes Prof, because I really want to be doing more work than I need to be...

// Tedious string concatenation.
System.out.println("a: " + a + " b: " + b);

// Output using string formatting.
System.out.printf("a: %d b: %d\n", a, b);

But, hey that's just my opinion.

Converting an int to a string for use in a switch statement... And nothing else.

Who the HELL wrote this crap?!

String someStr = "your name";

// but i wanna capitalize it
someStr.capitalize(); // <-- operation has no effect

// ughh, fine 😒
String cappedStr = someStr.capitalise();

// wish I could just do this:
someStr .= capitalize(); // but it throws error 😩

I'm curious...is there a practical application for reversing a string, other than for tutorials and interview questions?

private String field;

public void setField(String field) {
field = field;
}

// I was wondering why didn't the value change

At this point I am not even mad 😂😂

just quit my job, and the last push i do is changing all the literal string contained in variable and/or stdout to base64 encoded string. and change it to call my secretely placed decoder function.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how retarded it is that TSlint throws a warning here that the string type is inferred and unnecessary.

I want to put the type there because it looks more readable. Code looks better if every variable has a type, irrespective of whether it's a constant. I know the fucking type is inferred you braggart linter bitch. What the fuck does it expect? A fucking award because it inferred that a string constant is of the fucking type string? How the ever loving fuck does that warrant a squiggly ass yellow warning line, reminiscent of that smartass 10 year old in class who has to yell out every answer when the teacher never asked a question.

Yes, php, it makes total sense that `array_diff` compares the string representation of the elements.

Just had a discussion with a coworker. I noticed he was storing dates as string in mongodb, saying it was better for comparison and because he stored them in UTC. WTH, mongo already stores all dates in UTC and a string date is imposible to compare. I wasted 8 hours finding that last part out.

Use a fucking string to store an int just to use a switch on the value.

Stop fucking with the numbers.
A number is a number, integer or float.
Just because you wanted your stupid decimal place doesn't mean you need to fuck things up and make the front-end break because now its sending a string the server instead of a float. For fuck sakes. How long have we been doing this?

Pissed off:
Trying to write a date function that converts an Int (seconds) to days hours/minutes/seconds.
Get stuck when I build the output-string because I need to mix string and Int. I am used to C# and PHP, C++ just screws it up for me.

When they don't comment on their code 🖕

This way of converting "string" to "s" (for example)

0) program reads the whole buffer, stores it as an array of instructions
1) program reverses the order of the instructions
2) parser makes standard token from an instruction ("asd" -> ASD)
3) parser2 assigns operands to instruction
4) parser 3 makes string from instruction token ?????
5) parser fucking 4 makeS A MUTABLE STRING INSTRUCTION
6) PARSER FIVE SUBSTITUES OPERANDS
7) AND THEN CUTS IT TO A REVERSED ARRAY OF COMMANDS
8) AND PUSHES IT UNTO THE STACK

WHAT

man, fuck php.
fuck fucking php fuckitily fucking hard.
basically every fuckin stdlib function it has is fucked in some way.
can't even remember it anymore properly, but...

for example:
explode(" ", "some string like this ");

function to "split a string into array of strings using the first param as the boundary marker.

the above one would return
["some", "string", "like", "this", ""]

BECAUSE I'M FUCKING FUCKITTY SURE THAT WHEN THE LAST CHARACTERS OF THE STRING ARE EQUAL TO THE SEPARATOR STRING, EVERYONE WANTS TO GET BACK ONE EXTRA FUCKING USELESS EMPTY ITEM IN THE ARRAY.

because beyond the last wall of my house, there's another room of my house, you stupid Lerdorf fuck.

other dev changed constructor from

this feels bad in many ways, but need some arguments to convince him that its wrong

I created a class Log with a method d(String tag, String text) to replicate Android's log method in Flutter.

WHY THE FUCK IS DJANGO RETURNING A STRING FOR A DECIMAL FIELD WTF

Casting every data type to string to get a table to merge correctly...

Just found the equivalent of this code living in a project that has been live for years.

String emailAddress = "";
String otherEmailAddresses = PopulateEmail();

if (emailAddress.Trim != "")
{
SendEmail(emailAddress);

if (otherEmailAddresses != "")
{
SendEmail(otherAddresses);
}
}

At least I didn't write this originally.

Why is there no devDuck cape for Angular?

Well, If string length was the reason, "ng" would've sufficed.

I've been dreaming about an eat() method in, I guess, Javascript. It would accept a string as parameter and set the cursor position further by the width of that string in the current font and size without displaying the string. A bit like a span with FG == BG.
But the best was the debug mode: the characters would be printed, but a yellow duck would appear from the left and eat them in Pacman style.

string action = day == "Monday" ? "Go to work" : "Friday" ? "Netflix & chill" : "Saturday" ? "Sleep all day" : "Sunday" ? "Get ready again for Monday" : "Code from 9-5";

I wrote nested ternary operators before and I swear I'd only use shorter conditions like the one below. 😳

string action = isTired == true ? "Get some sleep" : "Drink more coffee";

Working with Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp

Here are some of the variable types in java if someone needs it :)

-String myString = "Hello";
//integeres
- Byte myByte = 127; [It can hold up to 128
-Short myShort = 530; [up to 32767] -> 2 bytes
-int myInt = 8021; [up to 2,147,483,647] -> 4 bytes]
-long myLong = 213134; [ up to 9,223,372,036,854,755,807] -> 8bytes
//Decimal Numbers
-float myFloat = 3.14f;
-double myDouble = 23.45;

P.S.
I hate double... idk why

Do you think my credit card company has a big bounty? String formatting really isn't that difficult.

In this gym there is space for no one.

I saw multiple attempts to convert an int to a String by concatenating it with an empty String...
String s = someInt +"";

(I'm guessing the compiler uses a StringBuilder here which still ends up calling Integer.toString())

When I forgot how everything works in c#.

Example:

var animalKey = 1;

Then I realize I needed it to be string.. and I couldn't figure out how to convert an int to a string... But all I needed was

var animalKey = "1";

I kicked myself pretty hard

Oh Shit! Here we go again!

print(request_permissions)
>> [ ]

if request_permissions:
//some if shit
else:
raise 404

It was supposed to raise 404 for empty array, but continue to exit if.

Me: What the fuck?

**printing request POST data**
**empty, nothing wrong here**

**double checked print statement output**
** still printing [ ] **

**restart server and again checking print statement**
**still same**

Getting mad over myself, for failing to debug simple if else.

Wait....

print(type(request_permissions))
>> <class 'str'>
Me: What the actual fuck??

Fucker literally dumped empty array to JSON causing array to convert into string "[ ]" and still using if else based on array instead of string length.

Thanks to our Product Manager who approved our request to revamp this part of code and also revamping the whole shitty project developed by 3rd party in upcoming quarter.

porting a script that supports barewords to something that doesn't....

string up = "up", down = "down";

if(position === up)

its all well and good until you find someone copyies and pwastes that to have in every function

string up = "up", down = "down";

if(position === up)

string up = "up", down = "down";

if(position === up)

string up = "up", down = "down";

if(position === up)

then imagine a much larger dictionary. Also there was a spelling mistake, several in fact.

also who rewrote the parser to try to support keywords as variables?

Few years ago I was looking at legacy code that was developed by offshore team (what could go wrong,right) and I see small utility method that looks like this:

public boolean isEmptyNotEmpty(String s) {
boolean empty=false;
If(s==null) {
empty =true;
}
If(s.equals("")) {
empty = true;
}
return empty;
}

Thinking in myself: was he/she paid per line the line of code??!?!

Up to this date that was the worst part of the code that I encountered....

Trying to learn c and I forgot the name of the string comparison function, so I googled "c string"

O boi....

Today I learned.

In php if you cast a string to array you get an array with one value: the string.

When you write print(string), which type of people are you:
A) 1. ( 2. string 3. )
B) 1. () 2. string
C) Autocomplete guys
D) hodor

*applies for echo, printf, println, etc.
** python2 and c++ are discriminated on purpose

So... the US Social Security numbers are type string or something?

So, in C#, are there any tips or guidelines as to how to write "clean" multiline strings? I mean, imo it doesn't look as neat when the code looks like:

static string kindOfLongVariableName = @"First line of string.
Second line of string...";

With the first line sort of hovering on the side. What I'm used to is with Python where you can just:

variable_name = """'\
First line.
Second line.
"""

And use the '\' to escape the newline, but that obviously doesn't work in C#. Can anyone point me in a direction to start looking? The docs are a bit confusing and not very beginner friendly. :/

Just use string resources from the get go in android studio.

public static void turnItUpTo(int val) {
this.setLevel(val);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
turnItUpTo(11);
System.out.println("Rock out");
}

Cloudflare knows: I can't be human if I can add "Vivaldi" to my user agent string.

When you tell your friend you're good at coding and they ask if you can hack into a Facebook account

When you are dreaming about you being stuck in a never ending loop of string escape... Nightmares...

So how do I start this off? Oh yeah,

Public string rant;
Console.writeline("rant");

Saw this in the Python project codebase today:

arg = '\"foo\"'

Which is funny, because '\"foo\"' == '"foo"'

C:
char greeting[] = "Hello world";

Developers: char array... What da f*CK!

C++
... Okay.

std::string,
std::string_view,
char*,
std::wstring,
hstring,
qstring...
How about now? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

class smoking{

public static void main ( String []args){
int a = 2;
String c = "cigarettes";
if (a==2)
System.out.print ("go smoke "+ c);
else if (a <2)
System.out.println ("go buy some");
else
System.out.println ("error");

}
}

I am trying to "invent" secure client-side authentication where all data are stored in browser encrypted and only accessible with the correct password. My question is, what is your opinion about my idea. If you think it is not secure or there is possible backdoor, let me know.

// INPUT:
- test string (hidden, random, random length)
- password
- password again
// THEN:
- hash test string with sha-512
- encrypt test string with password
- save hash of test string
// AUTH:
- decrypt test string
- hash decrypted string with sha-512
- compare hashes
- create password hash sha-512 (and delete password from memory, so you cannot get it somehow - possible hole here because hash is reversible with brute force)

// DATA PROCESSING
- encrypt/decrypt with password hash as secret (AES-256)

Thanks!

EDIT: Maybe some salt for test string would be nice

Wow, function overload is worst than garbage! Is more like toxic waste!

If you run out of names for functions just name them:

DoThatStuff1(int, string)
DoThatStuff2(object, int, string)

instead of:

DoThatStuff(int, string)
DoThatStuff(object, int, string)

Your coworkers and future you will thank you!

The problem with small string data types is th

Found this in our Python codebase:

my_dict[key] = "%s" % str(my_dict[key])

Best way to convert a value to string xX

Spring JPA might be annoying sometimes...

public MyResult findFirstByIdentities_CompanyIdAndIdentities_UserIdAndFromDateAndToDateAndFormatAndIdentities_SourceAndStatusInAndCreatedOnAfterOrderByCreatedOnDesc(String companyId, String userId, Date fromDate, Date toDate, String format, String source, Collection<String> status, Date createdOn) {...}

I know I know, efficiency is weeping in a dark corner. Will deal with it later

I´m learning C # basic concepts and a question has come up after doing this exercise:

using System;

namespace exercise
{
class MainClass
{
public static void Main (string[] args)
{

console.WriteLine("Type your name");
String name = Console.ReadLine ();

console.WriteLine("Type one city");
String city = Console.ReadLine ();

console.WriteLine("Hello"+ name + "wellcome to " + city )
Console.ReadLine ();

}
}
}

Question: its necessary to put the last
Console.ReadLine ();?Why?

My boss writes code like this:

def someFunction (someArg: String) = ...

Who does that?! A space? Da fuck?! And it's all over the code base. Whenever another dev touches any of his stuff, we correct it:

def someFunction(someArg: String) = ...

The way god intended it!

How many of you used to append this string in an google search? "- jquery"

I dont know why but my team lead urges everyone to use empty string as a constant string variable from our utility class instead of just putting "" in our code... Its really cringe worthy... Why use Constants.NONE when you can put "" just to avoid null exception working with Strings..

The database dude: yeah it gets saved as a string.
*me sets up preg_match for a string*
Database 'guru': we tried entering the data in the form and we are getting an error. Fix it!

Turns out it's being saved by id.
Data wizards my ass

String concatenation using + instead of StringBuilder....
Using prototype objects instead of singleton wherever required..

I'm trying to convert a legacy .NET Framework web api to .NET Core, the project and its supporting libraries are in awful conditions and to make things worse at a certain point someone has the genius idea of introducing Uncle Bob's "Clean" Architecture into a part of it so stuff which could simply look like this

public string doStuff(string input){
// Do the stuff
return output;
}

becomes a convoluted mess like this

public class StuffDoerRequest {
public string Input{get;set;}
}

public class StuffDoerResponse {
public string Output{get;set;}
}

public interface IStuffDoer {
public StuffDoerResponse Execute(StuffDoerRequest request);
}

public class StuffDoer {
public StuffDoerResponse Execute(StuffDoerRequest request) {
// Do the stuff
return new StuffDoerResponse() {
Output = actualFuckingOutput;
}
}
}

Edit: sorry for the lack of indentation, apparently DevRant trims leading whitespace

Just enrolled my Nexus 5x in the Android O beta.

I am very impressed so far with the differences between N and O

Mistake displaying a string

WTF to convert integer to string:

var i = 1;
var str = i + "";
