Why I hate the Modulus operator.

Name: Anonymous 2015-09-13 3:02

Unlike most programmers I went the industrial route before going the academic route. I have over 5 years of professional programming experience and am self-taught. In those 5 years, my only interactions with the modulus operator was removing it from our codebase. Interns who were fresh out of college seem to enjoy using it; those dumb fucks. Any, continuing with my rant. I eventually decided that I wasn't moving up the corporate ladder so I decided to pursue a degree in CS. My "intro into programming" class as you can imagine has been laughably easy. I quickly gained a reputation as the best student in my class. My peers looked up to me and considered me a role model. I was so popular and cool. Then one day our dumb fuck professor gave us a quiz. I couldn't solve his quiz because I did not know how to use the piece of shit modulo operator. I kept trying to use the division operator hoping it would solve the problem but to no avail. Not only was I embarrassed for not being able to solve the problem in front of my peers, earlier that day I pulled the professor aside and told him that his lectures were boring to me and that he should let me skip his class. It was like he gave me this problem just to put me back in my place and deflate my ego. I am now too embarrassed to face my peers. I went from being self-taught prodigy to a novice; the class room's laughing stock; basically an ass clown. Then to add insult to injury the processor said, "a CS graduate should be able to solve this type of problem in 10 minutes." Fuck you professor *, you Chinese mother fucker. I am not racist but fuck China and its people.

for key, value in myMap:
if key == "v3":
return value

that's hilarious, what a fucking retard not knowing about %. programmers are fucking stupid.

I knew about the modulo operator. I learned it 5 years ago but never had any real world use for it so when I am solving a problem it isn't on my mind. This college bullshit is too much for me. For the first time I thought to myself, "maybe I should give up programming". Is it too late for me to learn how to suck dick for cash. I might be too old to attract Johns and pimps.

I am just speaking the truth. I have no reason to lie to anonymous people who I do not care about. If you are using the modulo operator then chances are you're doing some type of fancy bullshit. Senior developers such as myself do not build things from scratch. We use the best enterprise solutions to solve any given problem.

tl;dr Cavemen and journeymen build things from scratch. Senior devs use librabries, APIs and software to solve all problems.

I remember when I was a little shit like you. I would waste tens of thousands of the company's budget writing everything from scratch. I used to think I was so clever when in truth I was just writing non-DRY spaghetti code. Once you become a senior dev and unlock level 2 pay then come and talk to me. You'll learn how businesses work and how time is very important. You'll know that if any function has over 6 IF statements then you're probably doing something wrong. Little grunts like you make me laugh. Is this baby's first year of coding?

Alright, I was about to take this post seriously.

OP is broken up because he doesn't understand third grade math and foolishly came to /prog/ thinking we would be inclined to console him.

Alternatively, OP is an experienced troll formenting /prog/'s established hatred of all things ENTERPRISE.

I can't imagine a problem that could be solved by % but not by >>3
I think OP is trollin

What's this % everyone is talking about? Comments? Division? Reciprocal? Division by 100?

>>3 is actually wrong, it should be x % y = x - y * (x / y) and it looks like shit.

I guess cuz in real life you almost never use the modulus operator for anything.

Sure you do. Say it's 11 o'clock when Shion asks to meet her 2 hours later behind the storage locker. You then calculate that your meeting time with that little slut will be (11 + 2) % 12 = 1 o'clock.

What a shitty analogy. You imply that any of us from /prog/ get pussy like that. Give us a better example.

Modulus. You use it to get the remainder of a division.

If Shion's sweet pussy isn't enough motivation to learn the % operator, what could be?

HIBT? everybody knows for a fact that >>1-kun is an ebin troll, and that >>2-28 are egin trolls too, so why do you keep posting? are you all the same autistic person just bumping this thread for self enjoinment?
