#PortalReference

Actually, there should be a language where you are only allowed 'the', 'cake', 'is', 'a' & 'lie' as syntax

@trichoplax Thanks

I'll take that in to account.

Dennis

@Sp3000 Damn it! I've tried bc on ideone (I tried all languages on ideone), but it didn't work because I was missing the second newline.

yes

because its a real video (converted to gif)

I was just wondering if it was serious error with the gif rendering

nah, it's an error with the video stream.. I just checked wikipedia and he's still alive :/

How does one pronounce dmckee?

And has PPCG had any mods besides dmckee, Gnibbler, Doorknob, Martin, Chris, and now Dennis?

@Calvin'sHobbies I'm pretty sure you say the letter "d" (his first initial IIRC) and then "McKee" (his last name).

@Calvin'sHobbies Nope.

@Calvin'sHobbies I think of it like DMC, the DeLorean Motor Company, + Kee.

Hi guys, any matlab lovers here?

Alex A.

@flawr Heyo

Well, "lover." I've used it.

flawr

I finally managed to make a recursive function only with function handles!!!!!

Alex A.

Oh nice! How?

flawr

Wanna figure out yourself or want me to show you?=)

Alex A.

Does Matlab have something like R's Recall?

flawr

9:07 PM

idk, what does R's Recall do?

Alex A.

@flawr Show me. I rarely use Octave; I only have it on my Ubuntu VM.

Recall calls the current function again with different arguments.

flawr

I never heard of that=/

Well in Octave it is way easier

as you can even define variables in anonymous functions

Alex A.

@flawr Do you use R?

flawr

nope

Alex A.

@flawr How??

@flawr Then it's probably why you haven't heard of Recall. :D

flawr

9:09 PM

Are you ready for the glorious abuse of matlab?

`f=@(cn,n,f)eval('if n>1; f(cn*n,n-1,f);else;disp(cn);end');
f=@(n)f(1,n,f);`

hell, we cannot use the code tags here???'

Alex A.

If it's on multiple lines, do the four space indent

flawr

the backdraw is that the functio nstill does not return anything but just displays it, but it is the first time i managed to do something recursively.

Calvin's Hobbies

you can

flawr

´f=@(cn,n,f)eval('if n>1; f(cn*n,n-1,f);else;disp(cn);end');
f=@(n)f(1,n,f);´

`f=@(cn,n,f)eval('if n>1; f(cn*n,n-1,f);else;disp(cn);end');
f=@(n)f(1,n,f);`

Alex A.

 Down one line and indent four spaces

flawr

9:11 PM

f=@(cn,n,f)eval('if n>1; f(cn*n,n-1,f);else;disp(cn);end');
f=@(n)f(1,n,f);

That's neat! Nice work!

Because it sucks to make a new file for every goddarn functiosn!

*function

*effing function

I like the word 'effing', just learned that about a month ago=)

Alex A.

Always fun to learn new words. :P

flawr

Another favourite is 'flabbergasted' , it sounds so ridiculous^^

Oh, I just found out that you cannot assign any values to any variables in a eval within a anonymous function, EXCEPT 'ans', how effing evil is that!!!

g=@(n)eval('ans=n');

This works if you use

g(3)

but not if you try to use

a=g(3)

This must be the most evil thing I've ever done.

trichoplax
