I have been switching back and forth

2025-08-21 02:05:02.637526+02 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

I have been switching back and forth between C++ and Objective-C, which means that I can add mixing up std::cout and .count to my list of things my fingers typed when I wasn't looking...

It's still a thing, I've just been doing Objective-C for work, which uses .count for the length of its arrays, and C++, which uses cout for its stdout reference, and adding extraneous 'n's one side and omitting needed ones on the other.

And then jumping into JavaScript which uses .length for array length...

All <cite>ed text will point to the Flutterby knowledge base. Two enters (ie: a blank line) gets you a new paragraph, special treatment for paragraphs that are manually indented or start with "#" (as in "#include" or "#!/usr/bin/perl"), "/* " or ">" (as in a quoted message) or look like lists, or within a paragraph you can use a number of HTML tags:

p, img, br, hr, a, sub, sup, tt, i, b, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, cite, em, strong, code, samp, kbd, pre, blockquote, address, ol, dl, ul, dt, dd, li, dir, menu, table, tr, td, th

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
