Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The oldest joke in programming historyEnglish
2·3 years agoFor a serious reoly, I think the expression “If they have eggs, buy two” is redundant. If they didn’t have eggs, the kid just can’t and won’t buy any eggs.
I think the proper command would be, “Please buy 1 bottle of milk and two eggs.” That way, the kid won’t be confused and it’s still a proper valid command.
Unfortunately though, the sentence is ambiguous even to non-programmers. It is unknown whether the if condition applies to
- buying two eggs (buy two eggs)
- buying two bottles of milk (buy two bottles instead)
- or buying a bottle of milk (buy another bottle)
Simply because they didn’t specify which to buy.
For a non-serious reply,
cart.add(supermarket.takeProduct(ProductType.milk, 1)); if (supermarket.getProduct(type: ProductType.eggs).length > 0) { cart.add(supermarket.takeProduct(Product type.milk, 2)); } cart.checkout();The kid should have bought a total of 3 bottles.
Wow, didn’t know that… Now I understand how those coupon services work.
Very shady considering it knows what you’re trying to buy and can offer you appropriate coupons.

What does Microsoft even benefit when people use its Chromium skin called Edge. It’s not like they want to help people and it’s not like people pay to use Edge.
