A simple approach is to have a dictionary (so you store as `vars['x'] = x_value`). Of course this doesn't handle different scopes, but for a very simple interpreter, it's a starting point...
As a side note, this has absolutely nothing to do with being OOP or not. (more) |

If I understood correctly, `require` seems to be the way to go. If you're getting an infinite loop, the problem probably isn't `require` itself, but something that the required script is doing (more) |

I'd appreciate the nomination, but I'm not willing to be a moderator, nor do I have the condition to do it right now. If this changes in the future, I'll let y'all know, but for now, I'm afraid I can't. (more) |

Regarding warnings, they're usually meant to tell you "*Hey, there's something strange here, you should take a look*". You shouldn't ignore them, unless there's a very good reason - which is not the case of your code, IMO.

Yes, it can crash, because this leads to undefined behaviour. Try to search for a number that's not in the array, what will it return? I've tested in a Ubuntu machine, with g++ (it returns `6`) and clang++ (*Illegal instruction* error), but as all undefined behaviours, this can vary a lot. IMO, you s... (more) |

Although it "works", it's not the only solution (and IMO, not even the best - for many reasons that don't fit in this space, I usually don't consider global variables as my first choice). You could pass the variable as an argument to the function, for example (or, depending on what you need, make the... (more) |

Also, if you're testing the code in browser's console, that explains the `undefined`, because calling `console.log(whatever)` in browser's console prints the `whatever` value and also prints the return of `console.log` function (which is `undefined`).

Yes, in this case, if you merge only branch A, it won't include B. Another alternative is to apply specific commits, using `cherry-pick`: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry-pick (more) |

I'm guessing that `feature/null-rows-VER-74021-VER-75002` is branch A and `feature/ct-comparisons-VER-75425` is branch B, and you want to merge both to master, right? (more) |

| Comment | Post #282752 |
If I understood correctly, just merging B is enough, as B was branched from A (thus, B "contains" all A commits, as there were no further commits in A). Can you add the output of `git log --graph --format="%ad %h [%p] %d"`, just to confirm how your repo history is? (more) |

`while (min < max)` - this is an infinite loop, because both `min` and `max` never change their values anywhere in the loop. Thus, `i` ends up accessing some position out of the array's bounds, which usually causes a segfault - I didn't test the code to see if there are more problems, but at a first ... (more) |

If I understood correctly, **maybe** what you actually need is a Static Site Generator: https://snipcart.com/blog/choose-best-static-site-generator (I use Jekyll for my personal blog, BTW).

Perhaps you should edit and clarify the question. At least for me, I'm failing to see what the actual problem is.

I'm afraid you're focusing on the wrong issues. 80 lines is not large, and nesting is good to make things easy and convenient for the dev team: it makes the code clearer and easier to understand and maintain (on the other hand, keeping everything in one non-nested line just for the sake of having few...

If we're meant to be pedantic/technically accurate, we'd never call it "string", but if you call it that way, people - at least anyone familiar with the language - will usually know that you actually mean "*a contiguous sequence of chars terminated by the null character (`\0`)*" (regardless of how it...

@Istiak Actually, it's a little bit more complicated than that. A pointer to some type `T` is, let's say, "interchangeable" with an array of `T` (actually, the pointer points to the array's first element). In C, a string is actually an array of chars (terminated by `\0`), so a `char *` (a pointer to... (more) |

@elgonzo There's still the challenge of code-golfing the code (make it as small as possible). But as I said, I'm not the best one to suggest anything about that, so it's "left as an exercise to the reader (aka Derrick)" :-)

@elgonzo AFAIK, lists in Python can't be preallocated. You can create one with N elements, and then use those already-created spaces. I've tested here, but that didn't make the code much faster.

And the `timeit` module already takes care of most "disturbances", and does the tests as clean as possible, running each test lots of times and doing some other stuff that I admit I don't fully know (but I've read some docs mentioning some things it does to eliminate any disturbances).

Actually, `print` will add a new line if you set `$\ = "\n"`.

From my experience, the main issue in any ticket system is when users can't explain their problem with enough details (and we need to contact them to get those details).

I guess "*passwords and other data*" refer to the passwords themselves saved in your browser config (so it offers an option to auto-fill login forms).

When handling dates in a system, one should prefer to send/receive in a standard format (to make parsing easier), and only when presenting this to users, a specific localized format is chosen - BTW, that's exactly what browsers (and probably your mail client) do: internally, the `input` value is in I...

Date formats are specific to locale/culture/country/etc. What makes sense to one doesn't necessarily make to another (in Japan, the "normal" order is year-month-day, in USA, month-day-year, and so on - nobody is "wrong").

ISO 8601 is intended to be "locale agnostic" and unambiguous, and this "biggest to smallest units" approach is IMO a good choice, with advantages already pointed by previous comments. It's an information exchange format, not a human friendly one (although it *is* friendly once you get used to it) (more) |

According [to MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date), the displayed format of `input type=date` can change according to the browser's locale.

You're closing the parentheses before `format`, so you're calling `format` on the value returned by `print` (which is `None`). It should be `print("{} {}".format(inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name, path.basename(__file__)))` - https://ideone.com/4z9NRl (more) |

In regex, parentheses create a capturing group (which means that anything that matches the expression inside them becomes a separate group). My guess is that, when a group is present, only its contents are kept and the rest are ignored/removed - I couldn't find any info about that in the docs, though... (more) |
