@irene I cannot disagree.

const a = true

// Instead of if()
if (a) {
console.log("World");
}
// use (&&)
a && console.log("World")

// Instead of nesting multiples IF's in a function
function returnSomething(value) {
switch (value) {
case 'one': return 1
case 'two': return 2
case 'three': return 3
}
}
// Define multiple functions
function returnOne() {
return 1
}
function returnTwo() {
return 2
}
function returnThree() {
return 3
}

// Declarative programming
function isOne() {
return value => value === 1
}
function isTwo() {
return value => value === 2
}
function isArray() {
return value => value instanceof Array
}

function check(value, checks) {
return checks.every(check => check(value))
}

console.log(check(1, [isOne(), isTwo()]));

// React does something similar, check https://reactjs.org/docs/...
// to see how smart it is

@irene Anty if campain. They promote design patterns that reduce the amount of IF's you type in your code. But they also provide very expensive courses. One way or the other less IF statements in the code is always good.

@finiteAutomaton Also you don't have to ever use switch or if (https://francescocirillo.com/pages/...)

I sit on humble bundle and buy books in bulks. They keep me occupied for while.

@netikras This belongs here :D

@TheCommoner282 I follow a simple test: If I can explain something to a beginner programmer, then I understand the topic, if I can't, then I look for other sources of information - including my older colleagues and friends. At the end if I have to learn something, then I'll always learn it.

LOL I always coded this way.
Cannot imagine how it can be otherwise.

@mishaor I like you :)

@TheCommoner282
Learning algorithms just doesn't seem a good reason to go to University.
We've learned a bunch if these in the College, everyone with a good understanding of Maths wont have any issues learning them (just need a coffee and a good book).
On the other hand 80% of jobs out there are based on frameworks, so basically 80% of people don't need CS degree.

@growling Yeah, nothing my Atom cannot do.
Dum Dum

But like.
Why do you care?
He should fucking learn.
