Q: LOLCODE String Parsing

Suppose I have a string that takes the form "## ##" in stdin that I want to read in, e.g. "15 16". That's simple enough: I HAS A STRINGY GIMMEH STRINGY That grabs the whole line from stdin and stores it into the string—er, excuse me, YARN—called STRINGY. How would I go about extracting the t...

@syb0rg Yo

syb0rg

13:24

I have the following conditional in Python:

Mast

@Pimgd Yea, that's not exactly working either.

syb0rg

if time_list[i][1] == '01/01/70 00:00:00'
	time_list[i][1] == None
	print time_list[i][1]

But time_list[i][1] keeps printing 01/01/70 00:00:00

Mast

@Pimgd expected end of expression at: DUZ

@syb0rg Check the types.

syb0rg

@Mast I know it's entering the conditional tho

Joe Wallis

Wat

What type is it?

syb0rg

13:26

I think it's another case of me doing something really dumb

Mast

@syb0rg I guess it can't assign None.

Pimgd

@Mast DUZ?

Mast

@Pimgd When trying that answer.

syb0rg

@JoeWallis Should be a string

Mast

Probably isn't though.

Try assigning it "" instead of None.

syb0rg

13:28

Yep, type(time_list[i][1]) prints 'str'

Pimgd

> Creating functions is done with a new HOW IZ I operator instead of HOW DUZ I.

from 1.3 spec

Joe Wallis

@syb0rg I mean the containers time_list is a list<list<string>>?

syb0rg

@Mast Tried that too, same thing

forsvarir

@syb0rg Should time_list[i][1] == None be time_list[i][1] = None

Mast

@Pimgd Guess my interpreter only accepts 1.3 now, not 1.2.

syb0rg

13:28

@JoeWallis list<tuple(string)>

Pimgd

@Mast so replace with IZ to fix

Joe Wallis

@syb0rg You should be getting a TypeError

syb0rg

Tuple object doesn't support item assignment?

@forsvarir I'm facepalming, but not a complete fix

Joe Wallis

@syb0rg I'd use that, :)

syb0rg

Is there a way to default to time_list unless that condition?

Like in C, with a GNU extension I could do time_str = time_list[i][1] != "01/01/70 00:00:00" ?: ""

Or something like that

Not that I know of, ):

@JoeWallis Mmm, yeah

But I also need to leave off the 2nd parameter for int

Mast

@Phrancis Actually, lolcode is worse in that regards. At least fizzbuzz serves a purpose, to see whether you have a basic understanding of the language and writing code in general.

Mat's Mug

that's exactly why my first lolcode post was a fizzbuzz

@Mast Well just work and no play makes jack a dull boy.

@JoeWallis So in a binary conversion, I need a 0 value to expand to two 0's, not one. Can I do that with bin()?

Mast

Oh my, @Pimgd, I lost it there for a moment.

Mat's Mug

> My "hello world" was going to be a fizzbuzz. I like it because it nicely illustrates the basics of a language - variables, operators, looping, conditionals, and the likes.

N3buchadnezzar

Meybe we can use lolcode to see if anyone need some professional help and is going insane?

Mast

15:37

Yup, everybody can write a Hello World and it doesn't show a thing. Unless you're writing a very low-level language perhaps.

Pimgd

sad, somebody posted a funny and self-censored

syb0rg

@Pimgd I think it was removed by a mod

My comment was removed too

Pimgd

well that's fast

Mat's Mug

@Mast cough codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/103910/hello-brainfuck

Mast

@Mat'sMug The only thing that post showed was proper research, not a decent understanding about how to write idiomatic code in that language.

Mat's Mug

15:39

indeed, indeed

Joe Wallis

@syb0rg What? I think I may need a little more info here...

Mat's Mug

reminds me of that whitespace-language question

Joe Wallis

Oh probably not...

syb0rg

So say I do bin(0)

It's going to spit out 0

I need 00

Should I use format()?

Joe Wallis

Does bin(2) turn into 100 or 10?

syb0rg

15:41

10

Joe Wallis

Yeah you can use format then '{:0>2b}'.format(0)

N3buchadnezzar

@syb0rg Why not 00?

bin(num)[2:].replace('0', '00')

Mast

@syb0rg Whether that's the best approach I don't know, but it would definitely work and is definitely unambiguous.

syb0rg

@N3buchadnezzar Because if it's 1, I need it to be 01

If it's 3, I need it to show 11

And those are the only values I'll be converting, 0-3

N3buchadnezzar

@syb0rg format(14, '#010')

This seems to work, just change 14 into whatever and 10 into how long your padding needs to be.

Joe Wallis

15:46

@N3buchadnezzar format(14, '#010b') to also convert to binary

N3buchadnezzar

Yeah, I forgot about the b when copyting

That's... pretty fast

syb0rg

@N3buchadnezzar Alternate form (#) not allowed in string format specifier

Python 3?

Oh, I fixed it somehow

I don't even know how I fixed that bug...

The best kind of bugfix I suppose

N3buchadnezzar

@syb0rg Does the padding work now?

syb0rg

@N3buchadnezzar Not with the values in my actual code

But with some test values it did

I'll do a bit of debugging

So I'm currently on a 3-way screen-sharing conference call between me, our IT support, and Adobe IT support. Because they can't install a simple PDF Editor without full administrative network acces.

syb0rg

   format(0, '#02b')
=> '0b0'
   format(0, '#02')
=> '00'

Weird, I didn't think the b would do that

It includes the 0b in the padding... easy fix

Q: Phishing Project Sending Email Reworked

@Pimgd gave some good feedback on the previous post. I've made the changes that I think best suit my application and am looking to see what people think of this implementation. PhishingController /** * sendEmail * Function mapped to Laravel route. Defines variable arrays and calls Email Class...

php laravel

N3buchadnezzar

@syb0rg Yeah, all binary numbers start with that. You probably already have found the fix

Joe Wallis

@syb0rg You can use '{:0>2b}'.format(0)

Pimgd

15:58

@CaptainObvious ooh this highlights as green for me

Joe Wallis

Or format(0, '0>2b')

syb0rg

@JoeWallis Is that faster? Or just more preferred?

Duga

@syb0rg You don't get 0b
