If you have working code that you're wanting to improve, you should be asking at Code Review instead. It was created specifically for that purpose. This site is for questions related to code that isn't working. Also, I'd suggest that you spend some time taking the tour and reading the help center pages to familiarize yourself with the site and how it works before you begin posting. — Ken White 20 secs ago

Q: Python - 2D Elastic Collision Simulation

I would appreciate comments on overall structure, variable names and really anything else. There are bug present, such as a ball occasionally slipping out of a corner, but t...

Q: How to simplify and optimize switch statement

r10lomoSince I am working alone on this, I would like someone who would take a look and point out any mistakes or things I could have done better. My questions: How could I improve this big switch statement? Is there any obvious beginner flaws? The executeModeration is a method I call when a command i...

Q: Best way to access lists and nest them with if statements

user231066Trying to improve my Python skills by creating a small text adventure. I have used lists to access certain information, but I am not sure if I am using them correctly. For instance, I have used a list to store weapons but wasn't sure of the syntax for accessing them in an if statement. Also, if t...

Q: Simple generic cartesian product in C++

Bogdan BThe idea is to take a sequence of sequences (of the same type) and use tuples of [iterator, current index, sequence size] to keep track of the current state, such that the cartesian_product object can return one sequence at a time. General questions: bugs? (would hope not!) code quality ok? anyt...

@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ @Peilonrayz M-code is useless as a tag since there are so many things called m-code that are actually different things.
@DerKommissar Congratulations
 
@Mast What should we rename it to?
 
That's only slightly less ambiguous, isn't it?
 
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Could you rephrase that?

Ah yes. I'll go read through that now
@Mast You happy for me do follow through with this? Can't do any blacklists or synonyms but a rename I can do

@Duga I'm conflicted. It's adding more context, but the OP posted a comment that sounds like AI - "Instead of making index of max I can just get value of array[1] and check if pos > 0.6 (or 0.7)" can someone check this?

@Peilonrayz Fine.
@Peilonrayz Answer is premature. If you post the following in an answer: "It is difficult to optimize a code, where multiple parts are missing", ask for clarification instead of posting the bloody answer or be prepared to be invalidated.
 
@Mast Yeah that seems reasonable.
Thanks :)

@Duga Handled. But it has so many issues... Trying to wrap my head around them
 
put your question to CodeReview, it's off-topic for StackOverflow. — Stephan 35 secs ago
this question belongs to CodeReviewStephan 44 secs ago
@Stephan In the future please link to the help center and use wording that shows the post may be off-topic when recommending Code Review. Take, "This may be on-topic on Code Review. Please check if it is on-topic and how to post a good question before posting there." — Peilonrayz 43 secs ago
 
@Duga I've cleaned it up as best I can. But it's off-topic, for either MRC or UWYA. MRC because it's example code. Or UWYA as the description doesn't tell us what the code is doing. I'm sure if the OP fixed the UWYA it'd be broken.
 
12:22 PM
This question seems way too hypothetical and doesn't have a language tag.
 
@pacmaninbw True. Thanks
 
Numpy
 
@Peilonrayz, Stephan has provided advice for someone whose question was being closed, to offer an alternative avenue. Instead of telling them how to deal with matters on Stackoverflow, and with your knowledge of CodeReview, can you tell us if this is on topic for that site. In my opinion, based upon the short and limited information in your 'if it is on topic' link, it does belong over there. Now, if when posted on that site, the peers determine that it is not a good question, or decide, that in their opinion, it is not on topic, that is for them to decide, not individual members of this site. — Compo 56 secs ago
@Compo Code Review is a small site, and bad recommendations and poorly worded recommendations from Stack Overflow make up a significant amount of non-moderator's workloads. It is possible to recommend a site that reduces the potential burden that Stephan has created. — Peilonrayz 34 secs ago

@Compo In addition to what I said earlier. There is as a potential burden as it is likely off-topic on Code Review for missing a description of what it does. If this question is posted there this burden will be realized. — Peilonrayz 51 secs ago
 
2:12 PM
You cannot assume @Peilonrayz, that a not yet posted question, will exactly match what exists here, especially because I modified it myself to improve it here. Regardless of that, wording can edited after submission anyhow. The question asks specifically for a batch file review, and that is exactly what code review does. Additionally, if I take a look at your site, how many questions have there been using the appropriate [batch] tag, (for this question), in 2020? to save you time looking the answer is two! So, please tell me, where the burden or potential burden is? — Compo 14 secs ago

Q: Use of pointers in C in Erasthenes sieve program

Pel de PindaI made the following code in C, which is supposed to create a list of booleans $n + 1$ long, such that the $i$'th element is true if $i$ is prime and $i$'th element is false if $i$ is not prime (starting the count from zero). So for n = 10, it is supposed to give [false, false, true, true, false,...

 
well, if pointing someone who requests a code review to CodeReview is a "potential burden" for that site, I won't recommend that site anymore. But let me ask you, @Peilonrayz, What is CodeReview supposed to do when not reviewing code? (rhetorical question - no answer required) — Stephan 24 secs ago
 
2:55 PM
@CaptainObvious Possibly off topic due to broken code. I haven't voted to close yet, waiting for a response from the author, but 2 others feel the same way I do based on the comments.
It's amazing how one can apply concepts from one typed language to a scripting language problem.
 
@pacmaninbw Thanks for quoting the problematic part of the question. I don't understand G. Sliepen's comment, why would the pointer not be correct? Does malloc eat them? I could understand it if C had a GC, as the arrays die around the end of the functions lifetime. Maybe my assumptions of a non-GC language is completely wrong?

Q: How can I simplify my nom parser?

Kyle_S-CI'd like a recommendation on how I can improve the function unquoted_string below - specifically is there a better way to combine the parsers I have to achieve the desired goal? Strings in this language are defined by YANG RFC 7950 Section 6.1.3. The excerpt relevant to unquoted strings is: An u...

 
3:11 PM
@Peilonrayz The primes array is allocated by C on the stack, it doesn't exist as soon as the function exits, the address returned is a stack address that is no longer valid. Instead of assigning the address of primes to the pointer allocated in the function, the primes array values should be copied to the memory allocated by malloc().
 
@pacmaninbw That makes complete sense. Thank you :D
 
:)
And thank you for making me explain it, the code is definitely broken.
 
Numpy ;) I agree VTCed

Q: How can I reduce this C# methods length?

user231071I'm a 16-year-old so I never studied computer science, although I do try to adopt the best practices I can when it comes to programming. There's no constant value for how long a method should be, but I think we can all agree that the method in question does too many things, and can be reduced in ...

 
But you can post a very limit, like product?limit=MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. If you want to optimize the code, then you are wrong here. Have a look at codereview.stackexchange.comakop 36 secs ago
I don't know what you'd expect the code to do. Why should it give different results? Please read How to Ask and perhaps provide a minimal reproducible example that really shows what you expect. BTW: You're making several mistakes in your code. Albeit not fatal ones, you'd still benefit from getting it reviewed at codereview.stackexchange.com. — Ulrich Eckhardt 8 secs ago
I think you want Code Review: codereview.stackexchange.comJared Farrish 50 secs ago
To expand on @UlrichEckhardt's suggestion to post on Code Review; the current question would not be on-topic there as the code doesn't work the way you want. If you fix this problem then it may make a good question if you make a new question, check if it is on-topic and follow how to post a good question. — Peilonrayz 44 secs ago

Maybe codereview.stackexchange.com would be a better place for this? — Sulthan 24 secs ago
It happened that I've wrote a working solution while composing the question. I am not expert in this area and am not sure that this solution is the best one, but with the answer inside the question looks like “WTH he wants from us?!!” Should I: (1) turn the “like this one” of the question part into a self-answer, (2) move the question to the codereview.stackexchange.com or (3) just delete it? — Sasha 8 secs ago
Hi @Sasha if you want to know how you can improve your solution then you can post on Code Review. If you are not interested in how to improve upon your solution then posting there would be inappropriate. If this sounds like something you'd like then check if it is on-topic and how to post a good question. You will likely need to change a lot of the wording for your question to be a match there. — Peilonrayz 7 secs ago

This is a working code that doesn't require any problems to be solved. If you are looking for refactorings consider posting a question on codereview.stackexchange.com On a side note - if you are not handling exceptions differently there is no need to have nested try..with block. Nested async computation expression also not recommended to use. — Sergey Berezovskiy 48 secs ago
