well?

Because python is a nocodie language, it doesn't matter if the code is right because it isn't anything useful or optimised anyway.

nocoder here. I thought python didn't use semicolons

>If ths computer knows I'm missing a semicolon
Why gave that slut this impression? The computer does not know if you're missing a semicolon

>>105707654 (OP)
A compiler or interpreter can guess where a statement ends in order to make it syntactically correct, but it will likely not do what you intended, and since this autocorrecting algorithm will not be part of the language standard nor will it be identical amongst compiler vendors, this is what's known as undefined behavior.

fake and gay there's no semicolon usage in python and your imaginary child is not going to be using a linter. unless you are speaking about your own experience learning python as a person with the brain of an 8 year old

>>105707654 (OP)
Yeah bro that totally happened

>>105707654 (OP)
because you might not actually want or need a semicolon at that point, jesus christ this fucking reddit ass thread

>>105707675
they're optional in some cases, mainly to write multiple statements in the same line

Well i know Joe shouldn't be teaching

because then the world wouldn't need 8yr old lazy dumbasses

child abuse.
teach them C. Better yet, teach them 6502 assembly.

>>105707654 (OP)
yeah sure

>>105707713
Yes and we know what happens when a parser makes assumptions so the language is easier for normies to use: we get the fucking mess that is HTML.

>>105708135
Html is fine. The issue is js and css. And the fact people are using it to make apps instead of documents. All the weird shit like self closing tags are actually well defined in the spec

>>105708107
how do you forget colon in python? isn't it only used to access specific subset of a list?

>>105708151
Control flow structures use it

>>105707654 (OP)
Because the computer doesn't know the extent of your mistake.
>8 year old
This is shit every single person who starts programming asks, why the 8 year old qualifier?

>>105708151
By making a fake story without even bothering to search it up first, he probably saw the C missing semicolon meme then added the first programming language it came to his head

>>105707654 (OP)
copilot will be doing that in a few months

>>105708035
Why 6502? I like using mmix.

>>105707654 (OP)
She doesn't have a linter installed.

>>105708035
Better yet, teach them to program with raw opcodes in hex.
Better yet, teach them to toggle transistors manually on a breadboard.
Better yet, teach them to etch silicon wafers and fabricate their own microprocessors.
Better yet, teach them to manipulate individual electrons with a scanning tunneling microscope.
Better yet, teach them to encode algorithms in the spin states of qubits using topological quantum computing.

>>105708199
What does it matter if it's fake nigga. 80% of the stuff you see here or will ever interact with on this god forsaken site is fake and done just to see (You)r reaction. it creates a point of discussion which you either reply to or ignore and go on with your pathetic miserable life. Imprint this very special piece of world knowledge in a part of your brain that hasn't been yet turned volatile by excessive drug usage and keep it fucking safe there you fucking faggot

>>105707654 (OP)
The computer can't know your intentions, all it knows is that you fucked up.

>>105707654 (OP)
People that talk like this should be fucking shot

>>105707675
It doesn't. You can use them to make your code less readable if you want to.

Yeah, this.

>>> if something
File "<stdin>", line 1
if something
^
SyntaxError: expected ':'


How is the computer supposed to know if you meant to write "if something or other:". It just knows that the input given to it is incomplete, but not to what extent.

>>105708555
Doesn't sound like it's me the one who struggles with excessive drug usage
If you believe what you said, the same thing applies to my own post, which could have been a fake comment to make someone angrily reply to it like you did
So no, I won't be remembering what you said

>>105707654 (OP)
The computer doesn't "know".
Compiler can tell you what are the expected tokens in a particular context, but it sure as hell doesn't and cannot know what you want or were trying to express.

>>105708214
adding semicolons in python?

>>105708807
Probably, yeah.

>>105708166
>why the 8 year old qualifier?
Because the guy wanted an excuse to humblebrag about his super smart genius 8 year old learning how to program (brownie points for being a girl).

>>105707654 (OP)
Becasue the computer doesn't "know" that.
You're putting human emotions on a tool.
