Fuck. I’m having nightmarish flashbacks looking at this. Hell.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Hmm, "atomic office" you say?

[-] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago

Lemma 1 mentions "definition of phi", but the phi is never defined. Wtf.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 week ago

OP posted the two pages in the wrong order, so you (and I) saw page 2 before page 1.

[-] Technoworcester@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oops. Sorry.

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

oh I thought it's a joke that things are defined, or others are "immediate from" something else, while actually not. like how they love to teach this topic without explaining what is necessary

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

It did bother me there was no fall through.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

follow?

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

There’s no fall through case, it’s ambiguous what the room state should be

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, yes, sorry. Quick read. 🖖🏼

[-] lefixxx@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I can see why there are more pages with reworks

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you.

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'str' and 'str'

[-] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

comparison chaining strikes again!

[-] lengau@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Idk it works for me.

Also "8:00:00" > "10:00:00"

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Idk it works for me.

I don't think there is any possible value for the sign variable which would make that if statement do anything other than raise a TypeError.

Also "8:00:00" > "10:00:00"

but "08:00:00" < "10:00:00". comparing timestamps as strings is weird but actually works, as long as the hour is zero-padded :)

the problem with this code is that & (bitwise AND) has higher operator precedence than > and == do, so it is first trying to bitwise AND "10:00:00" with sign (which i'm assuming would also be a string) and that will always raise a TypeError.

to do what the author appears to have intended to do, they would either need use parenthesis around both comparisons to actually bitwise AND their results, or (better) to use the boolean AND operator (and) instead of &.

The boolean and operator is the right tool for the job, and since it is lower precedence it also wouldn't require that any parenthesis be added here.

Heh you're right, I didn't catch the bitwise and, so I thought you were making a TypeError joke about comparing strings. Fixing the and though (which I did naturally when I typed it into my interpreter to double-check), we get the issue that they are just using a string for the time rather than a time object. "Too early" is also a valid entry that gets us an available office.
