Programming Megathread

all of them? that's kind of odd. I know that it told me the inputs were different
well, anyway, I guess I'll remove them from the code files later. I'm going to leave the answers in the challenge files, because I still don't care about people who WANT to know the answers, and I want to have a record of mine
removing them from the code is just so that people can look at them without worrying about spoiling the answer

lol woops, actually my answers were only the same for day 4...
Odd, we'll see if you get the same for any other days.

because im such a noob, this little piece of stuff took me SO long to code, but i think im starting to get the hang of bash scripting

I've always found shell scripting languages to be unnecessarily complicated to do things that should be relatively simple. If I were to suggest something I'd say that you learn really anything other than a shell scripting language. I've seen some ugly programs out there and the worst offenders were almost always shell scripts.

Well, i consider myself a basic programmer

back in 2007/8 my company consulted another company that specializes in converting programs from vfp to sql. the quote for the conversion was over 4 million usd. they didn't expect our system to be so complex lol

now, we're almost ready to do the conversion ourselves - likely to sql still - and there's only 2 devs in the office that have actually spent loads of time working with sql and i'm one of them smh i am going to suffer

also, how do you all capitalize? I do like so: "DESC.sampleText", my supervisor would do something along the lines of: "Desc.SampleText" and most of my other coworkers don't capitalize anything

desc.sample-text, of course

camelcase is disgusting
I only use it in languages that conventionally use camelcase. because following conventions is good

so I would do what port said. but I don't think I would give any file "sample-text" as a file extension because that's weird. unless there's actually a file format that was created specifically for sample text, and I was using it
which there probably isn't, and I certainly wouldn't be

[Zloff]

file extension? shoot I don't know how I didn't even think of that lol but no desc would be a data source(such as a table), sample text would be the variable(or row) to pull data from

in my defense, it took a year but I've finally warmed up to the place to the point where I can say "my company" instead of "the company that I work for"

oh
in that case I feel like it should be required to do it a certain way because case insensitivity is dumb. but the way I would choose to do it would be what port said. unless hyphens aren't allowed, cus they usually aren't. in that case I would use an underscore instead

[Headcrab Zombie]

At my work, all our table names and column names are Pascal case, except for column names beginning with an abbreviation (like dt for DateTime or b for bit)

[Zloff]

In our data dictionary the table names are all-caps and limited to 8 characters, it's gross

but the way I would choose to do it would be what port said. unless hyphens aren't allowed, cus they usually aren't. in that case I would use an underscore instead

yeahhh I really need to start using underscores and hyphens whenever possible

Lower camel case is my favorite. It just feelsRight.

GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrr!!!

i definitely prefer camelcase, probs cus that's just what i learned. it's really unintuitive for me to reach for that part of the keyboard and separate_words_out_like_this or-like-this. i personally find it a lot easier to just pressShift which one of my fingers usually rest on
