Should have used python. The answer is youme.

Most languages support concatenation of strings using the + operator. The only mainstream languages I can think of that don't are PHP (which uses ".") and low-level languages like C & C++.

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

JavaScript might even concatenate some integers instead of adding them just for shits and giggles.

R uses paste0() for some reason

C++ does as well, doesn't it? Though I don't often use std::string, so I'm not sure. But every other string type I worked with had + overloaded.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I dunno, I've never actually worked in C++, but I tried it out online and it didn't seem to work.

Using the C++ standard library beyond the C backwards compatible parts? What devilry is this‽

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I ran

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
  std::string name;
  std::cout << "you"+"me";
}

Using cpp.sh, and got the following error:

main.cpp:7:21: error: invalid operands to binary expression ('const char[4]' and 'const char[3]')
  std::cout << "you"+"me";
               ~~~~~^~~~~
1 error generated.

edit: lemmy seems to be determined to convert my less than characters to their HTML entity codes, but the error is meant to point to the "+" sign.

[–] meteorswarm@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

This is because your operands are const char[]. That's not a std::string.

I think your link has a double encoded % at the end: %25

The correct link is https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/operator2B

The answer is NameError: 'you' is not defined

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only if you put "you" and "me" in quotation marks.

[–] balance_sheet@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's a variable created when the conversation started.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

The answer is false. youme !<3

If you are one and I am one then you plus me is love.

you = 1

me = 1

you + me < 3

You may try to divide us but we'll always be as one.

My brain is too mushy to do it myself right now, but I wonder what the result would be if we were to consider the alphabet a base-26 number system and added the numbers that correspond to those letters.

actually, fuck it lets go

me (13),(5)

you (25),(15),(20)

5 + 20 = 25 (y)

13 + 15 = 28 (carry)
28 - 26 = 2 (b)

25 + (carried) 1 = 26 (z)

you + me = zby.

I feel like javascript would actually do this :P

Pepsi?

Extra credit!

Honestly dodged a bullet there when they can’t even get their errors straight. Obviously an undefined variable you and me would be more appropriate. Duh. 👯‍♀️

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

When js is ur bf/gf:

84

49

36

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I know my calculus. It says you+me = us

Stupid AI!
