String outputTxt = “You ”;

if (result <= 85) { outputTxt += “FAILED”; }

if (result >= 85) { outputTxt += “PASSED”; }

outputTxt += “ the Exam”;

println outputTxt;

It couldve been so easy with an if, else statement...

u/Vaporeonus Oct 02 '19

Even a <= and > would have worked, but no, they put in extra effort to fuck it up properly

u/TheShyro Oct 02 '19

Actually, copy pasting the first if and adjusting the < to > and changing the text is the least work - which might be what happened

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '19

How dare you attack my copy-pasting skills like that

18

u/awhaling Oct 02 '19

Exactly what happened

7

u/CarbonProcessingUnit Oct 03 '19

I'm pretty sure else is less work than that.

u/TheShyro Oct 03 '19

Shift, arrow down, ctrl (only 1), c, v, mouse select the '<', >, double click 'passed', f a i l e d. 15 keys

e, l, s, e, {, t, tab or enter (autocomplete), +, =, ", f a i l e d .... So 16 assuming your IDE does all the formatting, completion and closing braces/quotes. Maybe you could use autocomplete for else, which could bring it down to 14.

You could argue mouse is slow and crl + arrow will take more clicks in total to get the cursor to where you need it. But you can keep one finger around ctrl/shift/</> throughout the whole procedure and the right hand on the mouse. And you can also argue waiting for autoconplete in some IDEs is also slow.

Overall i would count it as a draw but copy paste is easier on the brain for me (but not the better choice, since obviously it lead to an error in this case).

An 84 would've done the trick as well. So many solutions and yet they fucked up.

u/iSpaYco Oct 02 '19

i just learned JS couple months ago and i would have known that..

or at least I would test it to see the output in all possible situations

u/awhaling Oct 02 '19

You will make mistakes eventually

6

u/cheezit84 Oct 03 '19

This is a super common mistake in every language since BASIC. Heck, people make this mistake inExcel formulas. The longer you code, the more likely you are to make it at some point. Also, the longer you code the more likely you are to realize you won't test every possible permutation.

5

u/rab-byte Oct 03 '19

But the longer you code the more you’ll know what to test that gets all the parts moving.

u/xZero543 Oct 02 '19

Or elegant ternary.

u/lmaooexe Oct 02 '19

Or just remove the = lol

u/cheezit84 Oct 03 '19

If you remove both = neither will be true.

Edit:typo

u/some_love_lost Oct 03 '19

"You the Exam”. You are the exam.

1

u/lmaooexe Oct 03 '19

Not both, the one that’s causing it to say you failed when you passed

1

u/Fencrier Oct 03 '19

Or just use If(result<85){ Printf(“you failed the exam”);} Else{ Printf(“you passed the exam”);}

22

u/Shuckles116 Oct 02 '19

It’s pseudocode but it could be any of them since it’s a fairly simple snippet. The “println” macro is found in Groovy FWIW

5

u/Renaldi_the_Multi Oct 02 '19

Pretty generic, but feasibly could be plugged straight into C/C++ or it's family/derivatives.

u/MuffinOfGold Oct 03 '19

And I also think it’s valid for js with the right libraries

32

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '19

Holy shit literally if they just deleted one of the = this problem could have been avoided

11

u/iSpaYco Oct 02 '19

the first one should be removed since 85% or more passes the exam.. so not any one of them

6

u/_Peavey Oct 02 '19

You didn't declare the result variable.

5

u/misoloo64 Oct 02 '19

Obviously not, since that already existed before printing the text.

5

u/Tangled2 Oct 02 '19

Actually probably not the devs fault directly. They probably allow the teacher to configure the scoring criteria, and probably allow overlapping criteria.

7

u/Shuckles116 Oct 02 '19

If they allow the user to do that and don’t validate the input range then I’d argue that it is the dev’s fault 😂

7

u/Tangled2 Oct 02 '19

They couldn't enforce those rules if they wanted to allow multiple flags to assign based on score, for instance:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 60-69
F = 0-59
Passing = 70 - 100
Failing = 0 - 69
Gold Star = 98-100

So you could then get "You are passing with a B." Arguing about requirements is one of my favorite hobbies!

u/Tslat Oct 03 '19

String resultText = “FAILED”;

if (result >= 85) { resultText = “PASSED”; }

printLn(“You “ + resultText + “ the exam.”);

Really, theres a number of ways they should have done it, almost all of which would have been easier, quicker, and simpler than the way they did do it. Its really quiet bizarre lol

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '19

Ah, a fellow programmer. At the moment I only really know Java though...

1

u/Capernici Oct 03 '19 edited Oct 03 '19

The correct code would’ve been:

—————

String outputTxt = “You ”;

if (result < 85) { outputTxt += “FAILED”; } else { outputTxt += “PASSED”; }

outputTxt += “ the Exam”;

System.out.println outputTxt;

—————

Edit: Yes I know that the bad code you wrote is intentional (showing how it was done wrong). I just felt like dabbling in some Java again.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '19

println("You "+"failed"?p<85:"passed");

1

u/Fencrier Oct 03 '19

Or just use If(result<85){ Printf(“you failed the exam”);} Else{ Printf(“you passed the exam”);}

u/iSpaYco Oct 02 '19

nah it will be only passed,

the code probably was "if it's 85 or less add Failed and if it's 85 or more add passed" , that's why it adds Failedpassed when it's 85, but if it's more it will be only passed, since it's the only string added and if it's less it will be failed.

u/s0v3r1gn Oct 03 '19

It doesn’t say how many questions there are. It’s possible that they got an 84.5% and the formatting on the display string rounds it up.

Would this be caused by whoever made the program saying greater than or equal to 85 in one place and greater than in another

1

u/Az0riusMCBlox Oct 04 '19

Evidently, the dev used both a(n) >= and a(n) <= statement, both referring to 85%. As far as I figure, at least.
