1) Select a language
2) Post bad practices so we can remind ourselves to stop doing them
int a;
not int a = 0;
In c always fucking init your frigging variables.
>>55492194
This so much
Don't know why for-loop got cut from the standard either, comfy as fuck for looping
>>55492194
Why would int a; always be a bad idea?
>>55492399
For loops still exist.

>>55492194
Sometimes you read input into your variables, so it doesn't matter.
Here's a basic one, is x larger than y.
1) Any language
2)if (x >= y)
return true;
else
return false;
Creating objects or new variables inside a loop over and over instead of defining them outside the loop once.
>>55492552
it's initialized to garbage, whatever value happens to be on the stack at the time. it's a best practice to always set a deterministic value.
if you have good code analysis tools it's not necessary as they will warn you if you attempt to read before setting it.
>>55492756
I don't get it. Why couldn't it just be :return x >= y;
Using loops when you can use a matrix in Matlab
Setting the return value as a class property and returning null from the method. Specifically PHP but could be a lot.
>>55493091
because faggots can't into if. That faggo is probably a first year CS
writing code in python
writing a UI

>2) Post bad practices so we can remind ourselves to stop doing them
That's the point you idiots
>>55495333
why is that UI specific?
And why bad practice? I always do it (although I never code UIs)
>>55496023
Using c++ is the biggest mistake here.
>>55491155
1) Java
2) using it unironically
>>55496602
What's wrong with C++?
>>55496640
everything, but I'll start:
> cin/cout and related hacks
> OOP language without GC in (current year)
> dozens of different variants of each primitive data type (oh, you want an integer? that's actually called "uint16" in our code!)
> hilarious lack of infix operator defines/overloads
> bad for functional
>>55496695
what a meme post
>>55492552
It's not always a bad idea, but usually unnecessary. Unless you have a specific reason not to, give it a value on declaration.
Using static types.
>>55496880
this, it's 2016
in C++ you don't need to shoehorn in class inheritance where it isn't necessary... and it's almost never necessary
>>55492814
the compiler will actually just fix this for you lol
>>55497139
>compiler optimizing what you don't want it to optimize
>>55497374
Why the fuck does it do it then?
>>55497374
ok autist
>>55497549
If you're telling me your compiler compiles your code so that creating new objects within a loop has the same effect outside, considering every object's constructors may affect something static, then your compiler is shit
>>55497565
How is it autistic?
>>55491155
Python:def list_square(li):
length = len(li)
for i in range(0, length):
li[i] = li[i] * li[i]
return li

return x >= y; is less legible senpai.
The one thing I wish would be weeded out by a mass genocide is opening the wrapper on the same line as the if/loop statement.
>>55496695
The alternatives are either not OOP, are bloated as fuck, or you use C# and are stuck developing on and for Windows.
>>55500071
also C# is bloated as fuck
>>55496640
People with two-digit IQs don't like it.
>>55492194
This guy is retarded.
Class name{
int a;
name(){
a=1;
}
}
Look, I used int a; and it's completely normal and proper in this context.
>>55500137
>name() {
>>55496640
It's too hard for dumb people.
Remember, we want programming to be an "inclusive" skill!
>>55500137
Nigga it's 2016, use constructor initializations.
>>55491155
Python
Making something that should be a function a class whose constructor returns the object you want.
>>55500137
A class member isn't a variable. And that's not C. That's not even C++.
>>55500515
He said Class, not class.
>>55497571
Uh, you're an idiot. There is no "may"; the compiler knows if your object's constructors affect something static or not.
>not using switches
If (i == 4) return 5;
If (i == 6) return 7;
If (i == 8) return 9;
