This is my favorite. I did php early in my career and for years I would have to Google " equivalent explode/implode" because it was so memorable

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Filthy barbaric PHP developers. It's Split() and Join().

I loved explode back when I frequently used PHP

I love die()! but PHP has exit(), too, and it does the same thing

[–] goodnessme@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

C++ is actually std::exit(), exit() is C.

Well I didn’t wake up today expecting to watch a video about task manager, but here I am.

Now watching the Pinball video before going to bed.

I have never used System.exit() or sys.exit(). What is a use case where you would call these explicitly?

[–] niq@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For example if you want to set an explicit exit code. Calling python scripts will usually result in an exit code 0 after the script is run. If you want to set a different exit code for example 1 to indicate some error occured you can do that via sys.exit(1).

Same thing applies to other languages of course.

[–] epyon22@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Applications where you aren't using some sort of framework. Usually MVC or other frameworks would handle this or are designed to continuously run.

[–] jsveiga@vlemmy.net 15 points 1 year ago

Perl is funnier, as these are valid ways of exiting with an exception:

readFile() or die;

die unless $a > $b;

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

exit()-ing your step-sys already seems pretty explicit...

[–] amanaftermidnight@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

PHP is so bad even PHP wants to die().

[–] silenium_dev@etaorion.org 1 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: there's a shorter way to throw a NullPointerException:

throw null;

Because throw throws a NPE if the parameter is null
