I don’t understand this. Small brained users rise up
On the left you have Elvis Presley, while on the right there’s the so-called Elvis operator
been programming since 2008. the fuck is an elvis operator?
Been programming since the 80s, ditto.
Ternary if?then:else
gotacha. i’ve only ever heard them called ternaries. maybe i’m old. maybe i’m too young. definitely one of the two
It specifically refers to this shorthand
?:that works like this:$value = $thing_that_could_be_truthy ?: 'fallback value'; # same as $value = $thing_that_could_be_truthy ? $thing_that_could_be_truthy : 'fallback value';The condition is also the value if it is truthy
I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!
It’s because if you turn it 90° to the right, it looks like Elvis’ hair with two eyes underneath!
I saw it the other way, with the question mark as the curl of his lip.
Mfw I’m checking for null
?:)
Holy shit
It was called Elvis back when it was a smiley
Kotlin user spotted
php too
…but we don’t talk about php
php doesn’t exist, php can’t hurt you
You have absolutely nothing <?php well hello there again ?> to worry about. If PHP existed we would have sophisticated <?php I trust that life has been treating you well? ?> methods of detecting it, and it would pose literally no <?php Don't open the door. It's me. ?> threat to anyone.Oh unfortunately these imaginary pains are those which hurt every day
Nobody’s assuming Groovy these days then 😂
I’ve been working in Jenkins pipeline for a while now.
Why the fuck is Groovy?
Well Grails didn’t stick around for long, but Gradle was only available with Groovy for many years before they added Kotlin support.
(run { this@comment.parent?.apply { this.value === true } } == true) ?: if ((this@comment.value as? Boolean) != true true) false else true
Same
