No I doubt anyone is going to post an answer if they consider it dangerous, except perhaps on Code Golf... (more) |

> Certain operators like the && and || in C guarantee a left-to-right evaluation and also that the evaluation stops if it finds that the result cannot be true.
It also stops if it finds that the result cannot be false (pedantic point since the sentence mentions `||`, not just `&&`). (more) |

See also [How to best ask about algorithmic problems](https://software.codidact.com/posts/285461).
There the question of whether a programming language should be specified was a sub-question and didn't get much discussion. I'm glad it has now been asked as a separate question to allow more focused... (more) |

It's just an option since you mentioned wanting everyone to be free to voice their opinions.
I agree it's more likely communities would choose a non-zero value for both, or a zero value for both. Another option would be to have downvotes giving negative rep in Meta but not as much (for example, -2... (more) |

Just for completeness: the system is already set up to allow changing the rep per upvote independently of the rep per downvote, so gaining rep for Meta upvotes but losing no rep for Meta downvotes is an option. Mentioning in case that affects your concern that people be free to express unpopular opin... (more) |

Might be worth editing to mention the extra options that this example is not using:
- above the dividing line of hyphens, you can include column headers between the vertical bars
- you can add more hyphens in the dividing line to make the vertical bars line up with the vertical bars in the other ro... (more) |

I also like the fact that the question is not complaining about the difference in behaviour between `if` and `for`, but actively seeking understanding and asking about a potential explanation. (more) |

I don't see the question as asking why Python doesn't have the same syntax as JavaScript. The author understands that the parentheses are not required in Python. The question is why is it OK to add redundant parentheses to an `if` statement, but not to a `for` statement.
Until the reason is unders... (more) |

I agree questions are useful at all levels.
The answer might seem obvious after it is discovered, but it was not obvious before it was discovered, so it will not be obvious to the next person either. (more) |

Codidact is already set up to have multiple categories per community, so I think it just needs an admin to add it (if the community indicates support for it). (more) |

Would the community benefit from a separate category for software recommendations (like the code reviews category)? (more) |

Are the N points known to be distinct, or can some of them be duplicates (several points with the same x and y values)? (more) |

When you use the notation `O(N)` are you looking for an improvement to the worst case performance or the average case performance?
My first impression is that your suggestion of a quadtree (or even just a regular grid) is likely to improve the average case, but not necessarily the worst case. I ha... (more) |

One way would be to use singular `LogRecord` for the record type, and plural `log_records` for the dictionary variable name. (more) |

Really glad to hear that you found it helpful.
Thanks for the tip on using `export` to allow testing from another file.

This is an interesting question, exploring why an error occurs as part of gaining familiarity with the language.
I would not expect it to be easy to find the answer by searching documentation or online without already knowing what explanation to search for.
The asker clearly knows how to solve ... (more) |

I can see that you have put thought into this and you have an idea of how you want it to work, but the question doesn't currently show us what you require.
Can you explain why you want this, rather than how it should work? That might make it easier to understand the requirements you describe, and ... (more) |
