ew...

pub fn predict_crime(suspect: Person) -> bool {
   return suspect.race() == Race::Black
}

Good change but also why is race a getter method while Race::Black is a constant enum? Is race an impure function dependent on global state? Is it derived from some other internal immutable state?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

race() is a getter method as it is dependent on which Eastern and Southern Europeans are considered white at the time

you dont need the return statement either

i dont even know what language this is :D i just thought it'd be a nice bit to silently pass over the racism aspect and nitpick the code

It's Rust.

If you omit the semicolon on the last line, it will return that value, so suspect.race() == Race::Black will return true/false for the containing expression.
