@HisAxelency I asked him if he really didn't know it, or if it was just a brainfart.
But he has never used `continue` before, he is used to writing nested if/else statements.
He saw it for the first time in the piece of stackoverflow code he copied&edited. -
@Kage "He saw it for the first time in the piece of stackoverflow code he copied&edited."
Oh joy...
That being said, I usually fail a code review on continue or break being used in loops. There's almost always a clearer way to write it. -
@Kage that's not my name 😂
Still, Js has the 'continue' with loops, so I'm still questioning this 😏
Unless... he doesn't use loops 😳 -
@C0D4
I've heard of senior devs in some big consultancy firm in Belgium who didn't know what recursive methods were.
So a mid level dev that hasn't heard of 'continue' isn't impossible. -
@HisAxelency
See if you kept that to junior/mid I would have been able to swallow it, but seniors who don't know recursion... that's outstandingly unbelievably.
They obviously are not in those potions on merit or experience.
Nothing but love for my coworker;
but my coworker (who's a fellow programmer for at least 3 years) thought the `continue` statement in a `foreach` literally meant to keep going with the code.
He was confused his code after the continue didn't run. xD
