Undefined variable: n

Not to mention, public data member length. Accessors: they’re not just for breakfast anymore.

@ultrafilter

So do it the modern way:

printf( "%s
", ( postCount > 2000 ) ? "I agree!" : "This thread is stupid!" );

How last millenium.

System.out.println((postCount > 2000) ? "I agree!" : "This thread is stupid!");

Of course, the best way to do it is:

(princ (if (> post-count 2000) "I agree!" "This thread is stupid!"))

but has a Java monkey, I can’t say that.

First off, line #10 is using a global variable… [etc]

Guh, er… I majored in history, y’see, I just remembered BASIC from those science magazines I got as a kid. You know, where they sent you the program you could type in yourself at home…

And… your criticisms… are probably… quite… er… … apt… and, uh… variable… localized… dynamic threshold…

[scratches head and furrows brow]

This thread is stupid!!!

[dre2xl]

Seriously, I was opening it up to see you blast some actual, err, code. Not what someone chose to put in their comments, unless it was something like…

int x = 1; // set integer x to 1

($_>=2000) ? print “This thread is stupid!” : else system “sudo rm -rf /”;

@CaveMike

… Finally, what is up with the obnoxious code-bloat that is called line #40? END is implicit. Why increase your code size by 25%? We will want to deploy this code on a multitude of platforms including cell-phones, pixie sticks, and the Internet-enabled vibrator (a.k.a. iBrator).

Seriously, I know someone that needs to enroll in GW-Basic for Distributed, Extensible, Internationalizable Web Applications for Dumbos.

I don’t know any coding, but the increase was only 33.33%. Removing the line would be a 25% decrease, but the code before “END” was three lines, so one line is 33.33%.

That’s all.

if bothered then say ‘This thread is stupid’

exit

Of course lousy coders copywrite their code.
Rude people who knock you down call you rude.
Robbers call their rich victims thieves…

@cricetus

And even if you did, you don’t own it. You were paid to write it, and it belongs to whoever paid for it.

I’m not sure copyright law is necessarily this simple. But hey, who cares.

Isn’t there a ‘break’ button here somewhere?

[NurseCarmen]

I just can’t seem to get past Declan’s post.

I just can’t seem to get past Declan’s post.

If a mod had edited TJdude825’s post to include “GOTO post 27” at the end of it, I think I would have suffocated from laughter.

! The purpose of this program is to  auto-repsond to posts based on the post

! 2000 in this case - then the program creates a post, "I agree!" signifying
! agreement.  If the post count is less than 2000, then the post created says
! "This thread is stupid!" indicating a general disagreement with the OP.

I think I would have preferred a GOSUB.

@fluiddruid

10 Postcount = Number of OP’s Posts
20 If Postcount>2000, Then Print “I agree!!!”
30 If Postcount<2000, Then Print “This thread is stupid!!!”
40 END

And if the post count is exactly 2000?

[panamajack]

Man, you beat me to it. I was going to point out that with all these programmers modifying Fluiddruid’s code, not one of them ported it correctly.

If it’s = 2000, you don’t post. Of course that means you can’t get your post count above 2000, but 2000’s a big enough post count, wouldn’t you aree?

[wolf_meister]

cricetus
You talk about lousy coding and yet you don’t even use the © symbol and you made a double posting? What do you think this is … 1960?

[fluiddruid]

@Mangetout

And if the post count is exactly 2000?

Hmmm. How about, “You wasted your 2,000th post on THIS?!”

@Cervaise

I think I would have preferred a GOSUB.

Old BASIC programmers don’t die. They just GOSUB without RETURN

[Crotalus]

COBOL, anyone?

IF POST-COUNT > 2000
DISPLAY ‘I AGREE!!!’
ELSE
IF POST-COUNT < 2000
DISPLAY ‘THIS THREAD IS STUPID!!!’
ELSE
NEXT SENTENCE
END-IF
END-IF.
