Lol… stupid junior-devs… in such case you should go with switch-statements instead… much cleaner.
Switch-statement (called match) was added to Python 3.10 in late 2021. This is a reasonable, albeit older style of enumerated branching.
Switch statements and differently named but similarly purposed statements have been around since the 60s. Get outta here with this “switch is a newer style because python only just got them” nonsense.
Nobody is doubting that. The code in the meme is python…
No lie, after taking about 2 weeks of my first programming course in university, I did almost exactly this, trying to make a poker game.
I hadn’t learned about objects, or functions, or even loops. Just one big method that had an
iffor every hand permutation.I hadn’t ever been exposed to programming before, and I loved it, but I knew nothing about it. Those were the only tools I had in my toolbox, and you know what they say about how when you only have a hammer everything looks like a nail.
I’m a professional dev now, so I really hope I grew out of it lol
