Giggling alone in front of my code

[n0mad]

Tell me this never happened to you

[JRavey]

Nope.

[returnString]

Well, at least it’s a string and not an animation clip.

[n0mad]

Aw, I just realized that in English it’s called a “G-string”, not a “string” for short as in French… Joke ruined …

[hippocoder]

It’s perfectly normal for programmers to giggle in the dark, lit only by the glare of their compilers. This form of insanity usually sets in after a month but peaks at 6 months into the same project.

Some souls don’t recover, for example programmers working years on the same project. There isn’t any hope for them to return from the great void function.

Excellent

Usually yes sex is ‘private’ for me and not done in public

@n0mad

The real question is why is this a string, should this not be an enum?

[anon_59826899]

How’s the project going n0mad?

LOL !
Yeah should even be a bool

@anon_59826899

10-12 hours a day on it, sir

You could publicly expose the member by using a wrapper.

rofl, this theme got potential

[hippocoder]

yes it is actually funny.

Private Parts(float touch);

enum Sex { Male, Female, YesPlease! }

[Nemox]

You sure it’s not supposed to be a void?

End up doing something and get nothing in return…

Funny enough, I had this exact same thing come up 2 days ago (pardon the pun)

I like to have my code as readable as possible so that complete noobs can understand what I am doing. I like for my code to read like comments wherever I can manage it. My coding has been described as ‘elegant’ by a number of people so when I wanted to work with gender in my latest project I wanted to get the code working but I didn’t want people to laugh their heads off at my coding slash comments.

I thought it would be okay having sex hidden behind a private as nobody would see it except for me, but it left me feeling awkward so I gave up on sex and swopped it with gender, instead.

int gender = 0

I wanted to make it an enum but throughout my code I am only ever interested in Male so I figured it would be a better idea to make it a bool but to say: Gender = false just seemed wrong to me, somehow; (sex == false) would always equate to true and if sex is always true then it’s value would be depreciated…

So what to do? So I finally decided to give up on elegance and stick with gender as an int and now test for:
if (gender == 0) instead.

…then ended up hating the readability of the code and defined 0 as “Male”. So in my code gender is basically hard coded to be male…

It makes sense when you read it…
