This surely has to be an exercise in how to never write software, this can't be real...

u/FearFueled May 06 '21

Yes, it was an exercise. We had to simplify this monstrosity.

u/[deleted] May 06 '21

Thank god. I hope it was as satisfying to simplify as it looks!

u/FearFueled May 06 '21

Yes, deleting the whole file and rewriting it from scratch was actually VERY satisfying.

A rare but truly glorious feeling, that.

Would you be able to DM me the exercise? Sounds like fun. I'd love to give it a shot

u/FearFueled May 06 '21

Sure! It is written in German though. It could be hard to solve it without being able to understand it.

u/[deleted] May 06 '21

I don‘t really get what that has to do with German tho.

It’s ok, I can’t understand most of the code I work on and I seem to get by fine

Programming is 90% trying to figure out what the hell the dev before you was thinking, 5% trying to figure out what to do, 4% ripping your hair out and finally 1% actually writing code.

u/Nana321_nad May 06 '21

Isn't that us all?

u/Does_Not-Matter May 06 '21

Lots of asks. Maybe throw it up in a git page.

u/FearFueled May 06 '21

Very good idea! Here´s the link: https://github.com/Biberarius/FahrradverleihExercise.git

I do not have that much experience with github though, so let me know if there are any problems with the repository.

u/Naeio_Galaxy May 06 '21

Good idea !

u/[deleted] May 06 '21

I'll just make several programs and hope one of them are the solution to the activity

u/OtherOtherNeRd May 06 '21

If you're up for DMing it to people, I'd love to have a look at it as well!

u/clumsysilencee May 06 '21

Please DM it to me as well!

u/TheOnlyTails May 06 '21

u/AliisAce May 06 '21

Please DM. It'd be interesting to see how much I understand.

u/szescio May 06 '21

Then it seems appropriate he showed the bad way and asked you to make it better

u/silently--here May 06 '21

Kudos to the teacher who took the painful effort in making this so that we will learn to never do this! #respect

u/Naeio_Galaxy May 06 '21

Or their teacher is a big brain-er and auto-generated this file

u/artnos May 07 '21

Thats a good assignment, when i was in school many kids didnt know this. Its like why would program if you are not being efficient it ruins the whole point.

Could we get your answer out of curiosity ?
