No, "Age" is clearly a string.

This is real.

String query = "select password from users where username = " + username;

You know what really grinds my gears?

Seeing a 5-line comment, that have absolute no value, for a variable declaration.

Example:

/*
*
* String that holds a delivery address.
*
*/
public String deliveryAddress;

Every time I write Strong instead of String i do 10 push ups.

Note to myself : Searching "String LaTeX" on google might give you something quite different from what you expected

/**
* It gets the user name
*/
public String getUsername() {
return this.username;
}

Apparently they'd never heard of bools. The best part is the case check given that they define the string.

How do you generate a random string?

Tell a windows user to exit vim

Working with a "senior frontend developer"

HIM: committed this code, and took him 2 weeks before his first commit on our project
var str = ''

if (string == 'String Here') {
str = 'stringhere'
} else if ( string == 'Another String Here') {
str = 'anotherstringhere'
} and so on ...

ME: WTF?
ME: can we do it like this?
ME: str = string.replace(/\s/g, '').toLowerCase()

Maybe he is senior by age :D

So no odd numbers in a string then?

When a binary file contains an emoji if displayed as string

C is a cool programming language where if you want to return a string from a function you have to set up an entire physical-universe human social system for adjudicating who is responsible for freeing it "In order to create a C string, you must first create civilization"

Two strings walk into a bar and sit down. The bartender says, “So what’ll it be?”

The first string says, “I think I’ll have a beer quag fulk boorg jdk^CjfdLk jk3s d#f67howe%^U r89nvy~~owmc63^Dz x.xvcu”

“Please excuse my friend,” the second string says, “He isn’t null-terminated."

Fun fact: if you send a string as response from a java Servlet to Ajax request. The string isn't null terminated.

wanna know how I found out. I didn't for 2 whole FUCKING days.

Coworker: I give up! Please help me!

Me: What's up?

C: Take a look at this. I have this function here that gets the tab index and I'm passing it to the Tabs component over there. I'm logging the index and as you can see it's 3, but the Tabs component isn't working. However if I replace the function call with a 3 it works!

Coworker 2: While you were explaining all that, shellbug already thought about at least 3 reasons why that isn't working.

Me: **sighs** Of what type is the value that function is returning?

C: **stares at me for a few seconds** It's a number.

Me: Are you sure?

C: Well, it's returning 3.

Me: Please do a typeof.

It was string.

Getting the nth character of a string.

Every other language:

No shit Sherlock...

I never make the same mistake twice, I make it eight or nine times just to be sure.

String name;
String number
String dob;

Just looking at code, my colleague ("Senior Java Developer"), wrote...

if (process == "null") {...}

As you can guess, process is a String.

I just don't know what I can tell him. It's just so wrong, in every possible way...

Looking into a helper class written by someone who was clearly not a master of their craft. The class deals with some string IDs...

public getIDPosition1(String id){
return id.substring(0,1);
}

So far so useless. But it gets better. What is declared immediately below the above method?

public getIDPosition2(String id){
return id.substring(1,2);
}

And below that? You guessed it:

public getIDPosition3(String id){
return id.substring(2,3);
}

This continues to position 10.... -.-

Why is this so true 😅

Word of day:

Recently saw a piece of code left by a former coworker where he converted an int to a long, by converting it to a string, then parsing the string.

I programmed a random credit card generator at school and saved it to my :F drive which is the private drive for students to save stuff to. That night I tried accessing my account and it had notified me that it had been locked. I went into school the next day and was called into the office, the principal and Tech Administrator were there waiting for me and asked what the file was. The Tech Administrator tried to describe to me what he found
"This gen.html file seems to be malicious and puts our school at risk. It seems to be some sort of malware and stuff like that is prohibited at school."
Now me sitting in the chair listening to this, laughing in my head just said "okay" and nodded my head because he is the type of person to argue forever. They came to the conclusion to unlock my account by the end of the semester.
Just goes to show that it doesn't take much to get a Tech Admin position at a school.

found at work today. just...why? what's next? public string If?

Why use boolean for a simple flag when you can use a fucking nullable string? Kurwa no.

To all the programmers calling “ToString()” on variables that are already of type String....

Please stop.

To convert an int number to a string I do this:-

String s=10+"";

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + “6”

Unless you had a horrible accident where you lost most of your fingers, I don't understand why anyone would do this. I had to double check I wasn't looking at obfuscated code.

```
String a;
String flag;
String tp;
String n;
String chn;
String lt;
String lg;
String bid;
String d;

Q : How do you generate random string?
A : Put my keyboard layout to Dvorak and write someone's name.

Reverse the given string without using inbuilt java methods... 😭😭😭😭

Every time you will get this question even when you have more than 6 yrs of experience 😡

Try this code in JS:
++[[]][+[]]+[+[]]
This is valid and returns the string "10" in JavaScript  :)))

Source: in comment👇

I've taken over a project with legacy code, this is one of the methods:

private bool areEqual(string value1, string value2)
{
return value1 == value2;
}

Also, the opening brackets are on a new line

Glad to be back!

Here's something that came up in the online class today 😂

A string array...

This guy who earns 20% more than me wrote a method to check which string of 2 is lexicographically smaller.

public boolean isSmaller(String s1, String s2) {
String [] temp = new String[2];
temp[0] = s1;
temp[1] = s2;
Collections.sort(temp);
if (temp[0].equalsIgnoreCase(s1)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}

An interesting way to say "-1"

string healthChange = "+" + health.toString()

i really love coding because in C# you write string, and in Arduino String( with a capital s). You mess this up and nothing works.
10/10 would rewrite the whole program again because of this.

Found this gem yesterday...

How to generate a random string:

Found this gem in code review today:
$stringValue = (string)-5;

When one of your dev's can't keep his variable naming consistent, even within the same line. Throw in non-English comments, bad spelling and incorrect pluralization for good measure

sorry for my messy code

Ahhh yes Prof, because I really want to be doing more work than I need to be...

// Tedious string concatenation.
System.out.println("a: " + a + " b: " + b);

// Output using string formatting.
System.out.printf("a: %d b: %d\n", a, b);

But, hey that's just my opinion.

String someStr = "your name";

// but i wanna capitalize it
someStr.capitalize(); // <-- operation has no effect

// ughh, fine 😒
String cappedStr = someStr.capitalise();

// wish I could just do this:

At this point I am not even mad 😂😂

just quit my job, and the last push i do is changing all the literal string contained in variable and/or stdout to base64 encoded string. and change it to call my secretely placed decoder function.

The iOS team lead stored the price in string format.

Use a fucking string to store an int just to use a switch on the value.

Just had a discussion with a coworker. I noticed he was storing dates as string in mongodb, saying it was better for comparison and because he stored them in UTC. WTH, mongo already stores all dates in UTC and a string date is imposible to compare. I wasted 8 hours finding that last part out.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how retarded it is that TSlint throws a warning here that the string type is inferred and unnecessary.

I want to put the type there because it looks more readable. Code looks better if every variable has a type, irrespective of whether it's a constant. I know the fucking type is inferred you braggart linter bitch. What the fuck does it expect? A fucking award because it inferred that a string constant is of the fucking type string? How the ever loving fuck does that warrant a squiggly ass yellow warning line, reminiscent of that smartass 10 year old in class who has to yell out every answer when the teacher never asked a question.

When I was first learning Java I forgot to use If statements and made about a 600 systemoutprint lines. Don't be like me

Stop fucking with the numbers.
A number is a number, integer or float.
Just because you wanted your stupid decimal place doesn't mean you need to fuck things up and make the front-end break because now its sending a string the server instead of a float. For fuck sakes. How long have we been doing this?

When you write a package to check if you want to process a string or not

Pointers like this:

the above one would return

We were looking at some setting types in Visual Studio.

This way of converting "string" to "s" (for example)

0) program reads the whole buffer, stores it as an array of instructions
1) program reverses the order of the instructions
2) parser makes standard token from an instruction ("asd" -> ASD)
3) parser2 assigns operands to instruction
4) parser 3 makes string from instruction token ?????
5) parser fucking 4 makeS A MUTABLE STRING INSTRUCTION
6) PARSER FIVE SUBSTITUES OPERANDS
7) AND THEN CUTS IT TO A REVERSED ARRAY OF COMMANDS
8) AND PUSHES IT UNTO THE STACK

I've been dreaming about an eat() method in, I guess, Javascript. It would accept a string as parameter and set the cursor position further by the width of that string in the current font and size without displaying the string. A bit like a span with FG == BG.
But the best was the debug mode: the characters would be printed, but a yellow duck would appear from the left and eat them in Pacman style.

Just found the equivalent of this code living in a project that has been live for years.

String emailAddress = "";
String otherEmailAddresses = PopulateEmail();

if (emailAddress.Trim != "")
{
SendEmail(emailAddress);

if (otherEmailAddresses != "")
{
SendEmail(otherAddresses);
}
}

At least I didn't write this originally.

You know what really bugs me? How movies show people hacking into something with the terminal and all the matrix code but its really not like that.

Who else is a retard and does this:

String = "";

and doesn't notice the error immediately??

When I forgot how everything works in c#.

Example:

var animalKey = 1;

Then I realize I needed it to be string.. and I couldn't figure out how to convert an int to a string... But all I needed was

var animalKey = "1";

I kicked myself pretty hard

I spent 20 minutes looking at my Java if statement wondering why it's not working as intended:

}

Could've replaced with an empty string 😂

Here are some of the variable types in java if someone needs it :)

-String myString = "Hello";
//integeres
- Byte myByte = 127; [It can hold up to 128
-Short myShort = 530; [up to 32767] -> 2 bytes
-int myInt = 8021; [up to 2,147,483,647] -> 4 bytes]
-long myLong = 213134; [ up to 9,223,372,036,854,755,807] -> 8bytes
//Decimal Numbers
-float myFloat = 3.14f;
-double myDouble = 23.45;

Do you think my credit card company has a big bounty? String formatting really isn't that difficult.

When you are dreaming about you being stuck in a never ending loop of string escape... Nightmares...

Just use string resources from the get go in android studio.

Somehow I wrote some code that ended up comparing a string type object against a pointer of an unrelated class. There are NO functions to convert that class to any kind of string representation. Let alone ones that would allow that to happen in C++.

WhyTF did the compiler not pick up on this?

C:
char greeting[] = "Hello world";

Developers: char array... What da f*CK!

C++
... Okay.

std::string,
std::string_view,
char*,
std::wstring,
hstring,
qstring...
How about now? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I saw multiple attempts to convert an int to a String by concatenating it with an empty String...
String s = someInt +"";

(I'm guessing the compiler uses a StringBuilder here which still ends up calling Integer.toString())

A TypeScript boolean/undefined Flag variable kept fucking up
true == true didnt hold true

checked the "typeof" in console and it's GOODDAMN STRING.
What's the point of TypeScript's "type safety" if a Boolean variable is holding a String type for whatever reason. URGHH I HATE JAVASCRIPT.

Does anyone else get annoyed when your outside of a editor and you press the apostrophe/quote or parenthesis key only to outputs a single character and not a pair?

Drives me insane

I'm trying to convert a legacy .NET Framework web api to .NET Core, the project and its supporting libraries are in awful conditions and to make things worse at a certain point someone has the genius idea of introducing Uncle Bob's "Clean" Architecture into a part of it so stuff which could simply look like this

public string doStuff(string input){
// Do the stuff
return output;
}

becomes a convoluted mess like this

public class StuffDoerRequest {
public string Input{get;set;}
}

public class StuffDoerResponse {
public string Output{get;set;}
}

public interface IStuffDoer {
public StuffDoerResponse Execute(StuffDoerRequest request);
}

public class StuffDoer {
public StuffDoerResponse Execute(StuffDoerRequest request) {
// Do the stuff
return new StuffDoerResponse() {
Output = actualFuckingOutput;
}
}
}

Edit: sorry for the lack of indentation, apparently DevRant trims leading whitespace

I am trying to "invent" secure client-side authentication where all data are stored in browser encrypted and only accessible with the correct password. My question is, what is your opinion about my idea. If you think it is not secure or there is possible backdoor, let me know.

// INPUT:
- test string (hidden, random, random length)
- password
- password again
// THEN:
- hash test string with sha-512
- encrypt test string with password
- save hash of test string
// AUTH:
- decrypt test string
- hash decrypted string with sha-512
- compare hashes
- create password hash sha-512 (and delete password from memory, so you cannot get it somehow - possible hole here because hash is reversible with brute force)

// DATA PROCESSING
- encrypt/decrypt with password hash as secret (AES-256)

Thanks!

EDIT: Maybe some salt for test string would be nice

Why is there no devDuck cape for Angular?

Well, If string length was the reason, "ng" would've sufficed.

porting a script that supports barewords to something that doesn't....

string up = "up", down = "down";

if(position === up)

its all well and good until you find someone copyies and pwastes that to have in every function

string up = "up", down = "down";

if(position === up)

string up = "up", down = "down";

if(position === up)

string up = "up", down = "down";

if(position === up)

then imagine a much larger dictionary. Also there was a spelling mistake, several in fact.

also who rewrote the parser to try to support keywords as variables?

string action = day == "Monday" ? "Go to work" : "Friday" ? "Netflix & chill" : "Saturday" ? "Sleep all day" : "Sunday" ? "Get ready again for Monday" : "Code from 9-5";

I wrote nested ternary operators before and I swear I'd only use shorter conditions like the one below. 😳

string action = isTired == true ? "Get some sleep" : "Drink more coffee";

Found this in our Python codebase:

my_dict[key] = "%s" % str(my_dict[key])

Best way to convert a value to string xX

public static void turnItUpTo(int val) {
this.setLevel(val);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
turnItUpTo(11);
System.out.println("Rock out");
}

When you tell your friend you're good at coding and they ask if you can hack into a Facebook account

My boss writes code like this:

def someFunction (someArg: String) = ...

Who does that?! A space? Da fuck?! And it's all over the code base. Whenever another dev touches any of his stuff, we correct it:

def someFunction(someArg: String) = ...

The way god intended it!

Do you need to escape string if you encode everything with base64 before it touches the database? 🤔

#BadPractise?

encrypting strings with the key being the string itself is considered hashing?

String can not be resolved to a type?
WHAT?

Few years ago I was looking at legacy code that was developed by offshore team (what could go wrong,right) and I see small utility method that looks like this:

public boolean isEmptyNotEmpty(String s) {
boolean empty=false;
If(s==null) {
empty =true;
}
If(s.equals("")) {
empty = true;
}
return empty;
}

Thinking in myself: was he/she paid per line the line of code??!?!

Up to this date that was the worst part of the code that I encountered....

Saw this in the Python project codebase today:

arg = '\"foo\"'

Which is funny, because '\"foo\"' == '"foo"'

I dont know why but my team lead urges everyone to use empty string as a constant string variable from our utility class instead of just putting "" in our code... Its really cringe worthy... Why use Constants.NONE when you can put "" just to avoid null exception working with Strings..

gettype(this_is_a_valid_string_in_php) === 'string';

When you write print(string), which type of people are you:
A) 1. ( 2. string 3. )
B) 1. () 2. string
C) Autocomplete guys
D) hodor

*applies for echo, printf, println, etc.
** python2 and c++ are discriminated on purpose

class smoking{

public static void main ( String []args){
int a = 2;
String c = "cigarettes";
if (a==2)
System.out.print ("go smoke "+ c);
else if (a <2)
System.out.println ("go buy some");
else
System.out.println ("error");

}
}

I´m learning C # basic concepts and a question has come up after doing this exercise:

using System;

namespace exercise
{
class MainClass
{
public static void Main (string[] args)
{

console.WriteLine("Type your name");
String name = Console.ReadLine ();

console.WriteLine("Type one city");
String city = Console.ReadLine ();

console.WriteLine("Hello"+ name + "wellcome to " + city )
Console.ReadLine ();

}
}
}

Question: its necessary to put the last
Console.ReadLine ();?Why?

Trying to learn c and I forgot the name of the string comparison function, so I googled "c string"

O boi....

The problem with small string data types is th

Wow, function overload is worst than garbage! Is more like toxic waste!

If you run out of names for functions just name them:

DoThatStuff1(int, string)
DoThatStuff2(object, int, string)

instead of:

DoThatStuff(int, string)
DoThatStuff(object, int, string)

Your coworkers and future you will thank you!

Today I learned.

In php if you cast a string to array you get an array with one value: the string.
