i was on a power trip. I had to make a guessing game program for a class to learn about if statements and i said hey. what if i dont use any if statements. or try except. or arrays/maps. and just kept on adding absurd conditions to the challenge
my solution was to use a uint16 as a pseudo-bitarray and use an absurd amount of boolean logic

I think I’ve got it; just need to play 20 Questions with Java.

#22845

there were numerous ways I could “take the easy way” but i kept on refusing and got sad when I found more. mostly because I’d use them to fix one problem and realise I could use them to fix All Problems
i can send you the resulting code if you want

i was originally building it off java as that was what i was learning but java is fucked up and booleans cannot be converted to fucking ints without a conditional. So I decided I’d learn c++ Just For That

#22847

like yes, technically I could print everything using the string.repeat trick. which is why I banned the string.repeat trick. so instead i ended up using string.substring. and realising I had just did the same thing and at that point I just went with it

iirc this only works with getline. this doesnt work with your standard std::cin >> x deal. at least not exactly
