/prog/ - How can I simplify this?

Name: Anonymous 2007-10-24 22:46

def command_dsfgh
if $var_ex[1] = nil
    print('shit happens')
    $scene = nil
end
elsif $var_ex[1] = 1
    $var_val[1] = + 0 #Pointless, eh?
    $scene = scene_window1.new
end
elsif $var_ex[1] = 2
    $var_val[1] = + 2
    $scene = scene_window1.new
end
elsif $var_ex[1] = 3
    $var_val = + 4
    $scene = scene_window1.new
end
elsif $var_ex[1] = 4
    $var_val = + 8
    $scene = scene_window1.new
end
elsif $var_ex[1] = 5
    $var_val = + 16
    $scene = scene_window1.new
etc...

Basically it's a=b+(2^c) and scene_window1 uses the value of "a" for something.

I'm not an EXPERT PROGRAMMER who has achieved Satori yet so I wouldn't know what to do in this type of situation. In before lol enjoy your toy language, Ruby on Fails, sage bomb, etc.

You need to optimize this because Ruby is slow as fuck, right?

Hey, didn't Ruby have some kind of power operator for integral types?

I don't know Ruby, but I know you're a fucking moron.

def command_dsfgh
if $var_ex[1] = nil
    print('shit happens')
    $scene = nil
end
else
    $var_val[1] = + (1 << $var_ex[1]-1)
    $scene = scene_window1.new
end

Trolling is supposed to generate elaborate responses. This is horrible troll if it's supposed to be one.

Trolling generates responses to things that are so obviously stupid that they don't deserve any response at all, elaborate or not.

Interesting point. Do you imply that you are trolling /prog by merely starting a stupid thread, since there are NO EXCEPTIONS and the troll will get replied to?

I remember making this thread.

I haven't gotten any better at programming since then, yet I still post on /prog/ everyday. Feels good man.

This is trivial to do in any language.



(defun command-dsfgh ()

  (symbol-macrolet ((v (aref *var-ex* 1)))

    (setf *scene*

          (cond

            (v (incf (aref *var-val* 1) (expt (1- v) 2))

             (scene-window1-new))

            (t (print "shit happens") nil)))))

Not that I approve of the copious use of globals.

$var_val[1] = + 0 #Pointless, eh?
+ 0? shouldn't be +1 ?

Anyway, something like this



# TODO: ENTERPRISE bounds check

$var_val[1] += [0, 2, 4, 8, 16][$var_ex[1] - 1]

$scene = scene_window1.new

How can I simplify this?
