You would not believe the number of people I’ve interviewed who excel at making Python read like ass.
I mean, it does have enough ways to write the same thing that it can really allow for some funny code golf, but some people just have no sense of readability whatsoever.

It's kinda natural to me having used Perl a lot.
That's not quite the argument you might think it is

print( ["even", "odd"][num % 2] )If you need to avoid evaluating the wrong branch:
print( [lambda: "even", lambda: "odd"][num % 2]() ) -

For optimal performance, you should rewrite it in Rust:
inline_python::python! { print(js2py.eval_js("(number) => number % 2 ? 'odd' : 'even'")(number)) }; -
Argument?
You know, the stuff in @_

Are you just referring to how Python uses the English
and/orinstead of the more common&&/||? I think what the user above you was talking about was Lua's strange ternary syntax usingand/or.wrote on last edited by [email protected]no, the linked table shows how python also returns the first non-falsey result of an
a or bexpression rather than just giving a boolean. it's useful for initialising optional reference args:def foo(a: list = None) a = a or []works with
andas well. -

Please. That's C's ternary operator. JS is just a pile of garbage cosplaying as a programming language
Why do you say it's a pile of garbage?
-
The ternary syntax is really my only real gripe with python design -- putting the conditional BETWEEN the true and false values feels so very messy to me.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]You clearly haven't used Perl a lot. Perl's ternary looks like:
$even = $num % 2 ? "nay" : "yay";
Incidentally, it is also the same as PHP's, but mainly because PHP stole it.

a if condition else b

Because of all the garbage

You do get the if in the middle of stuff though in the form print(debug message) if $debug

Make sure the browser is made using Rust and run on a VM running on Linux, compiled to WASM.

Just send pseudo code to AI and compile straight to binary.

Wait until you learn that postfix conditionals are syntactic sugar and the compiler* turns that line into the equivalent of
$debug and print(debug message), putting the conditional in first place, a lot like the ternary operator.* Perl compiles to bytecode before running.
The ternary operator itself isn't implemented in terms of
and(andor) but it could be. -
