I don't know the difference between snack overflow and stack sex change

stack sex change is a collection of question-answer websites on a variety of subjects. snack overflow is the programming specific site.

what version control do i use if my workflow looks like this:

check out the latest version from master
write some code
merge with any changes that might've happened in master in the meantime
check in my code

in visual studio with tfs it was very simple but i feel like git gives you a bunch of things to gently caress yourself up with. But I have only used the shittiest janky diff tools when merging with git. I'm not sure how to step my game up/improve my software development experience.

I need to be able to at least use git with a minimum level of competence even if I use something else for my own projects. It's too common.

my experience with DI is basically this

code:

public class Bar : IBar { ... }

public class Foo
{
    private IBar bar;

    public Foo() : this(new Bar()) { }

    public Foo(IBar bar)
    {
        this.bar = bar;
    }
}

so that in your unit test you can make a Foo while providing some mocked IBar implementation that gives hardcoded results.

you should avoid DI outside of constructors.

objective-c isn't a very good language, but it's not terrible I guess. the sooner swift matures enough to replace it completely, the better.

be careful with nil, because calling a method on a nil will just give you a nil and not give you any hint that anything is wrong.

also this convention is actually disgusting:

code:

-(id)init {
    if (self = [super init]) {
       // initialize
    }
    return self
}

good commenting practice is hard to nail down. I think overcommenting is worse than undercommenting because it wastes my time as a reader to slog through and inevitably goes out of date.

I want to know what/why from your comments. if I want to know how I will just knuckle down and read your bad code.

swift has a thing called @autoclosure where an argument expression is automatically converted to a function by the compiler.

the ?? operator uses it

foo = foo ?? getDefault()

?? can be executed without evaluating the second expression for the second argument. getDefault() only needs to be evaluated if foo is nil.

writing tests only works if you can actually think of the case that breaks your program. otherwise you write tests for obvious stuff, get :smug:

about code coverage and act shocked when it's still broken.

StringBuilder concat = new StringBuilder();

System.out.println(concat.Concatenate(foo, bar));

someone put this man out of his misery
also dont use a loving stringbuilder unless you're concatenating dozens or hundreds of strings
the compiler is not stupid and it will generally turn "foo" + "bar" + "baz" into some strcpy call more efficient than instantiating a stringbuilder, etc.

yeah think thats bad, heres Q1

I already know the answers to these, Q1 was a total guess between C and D since I couldnt actually tell what it was trying to parse, but the answer is C

Q2 I said the answer is A because since the patterns its matching against arent similar so the lack of a try isnt going to cause any issues with consumed input, the real answer is in fact A

wow is he completely loving the indentation on the code in order to up the challenge or something
