Last One to Post Wins! v3

I love animals. I'd love to have a pet. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait to have a job and to live alone.

This is a similar position for me, although I'm looking to see if I can perhaps have a few creepy crawlies to look after in the interim!

How old is it?

13 years and I've got her for 11 years now.

 

[StCooler]

My first dog lived for 21 years :O

My family used to have a dog. Until someone left the door open and it met with a car. :(

 

[ReKoil]

Two of my parents' cats' met with a car too... =\
... And still the old fart refuses to shut the door behind his lazy butt when he goes outside for something for a couple minutes ... 😤

 

[StCooler]

That's one of my fears for my sister's cat, that she meets a car :(
Fortunately, all my animals died of old age...

My family once had a rabbit named Ralph a long long time ago. Ralph seemed to think he was one of the cats, and the cats were actually cool with him, too. Unfortunately, he somehow got out, and met the same fate as some of the above mentioned pets. Keeping pets as indoor only is the way to go, their lifespan is almost always much longer.

Finally, for the first time in what feels like ages, I started working on a coding project. I would talk about this in the Coder's Lounge thread, but it's totally dead. I'm reworking this GUI complex number calculator made with python using Tkinter, even though it works 100%, it was very poorly and inefficiently written, so I'm doing almost a total rewrite. My estimation is that when I'm done, I will have removed around 300 lines of code. Just for fun, if you can tell me what this line is doing, I will give you a high five:

m1 = re.match(r"(-?\d+\.?\d*(\+|-)\d+\.?\d*i)(\+|-|\*|/)(-?\d+\.?\d*(\+|-)\d+\.?\d*i)", pat)

:P

 

[Fact Checking Gardevoir]

Easy! It means the following :

r = -?\d+1\?\d|+2\|-|\i
So, r is equal to 42!

The oldest cats my parents had reached the age of 26.
They already had them before I was even born though so I only experienced their last 4 or so years as a small child and don't remember all that much from them, aside from their appearance on some old photos.

:P

It'll make the person whoever has to maintain that stuff want to strangle you, that's for sure. And you didn't even take empty space and parenthesis into account. :P

The eldest cat we ever had lived to be about 18 or 19 years, his name was Sarge. Sarge was the boss cat, I can remember one moment that two of our other cats were facing each other off, gearing to fight. Sarge just stood up, walked over to them, and stared at them both. They both backed down and gave up before the fight even happened. Sarge was large and in charge. >:3

Easy! It means the following :

r = -?\d+1\?\d|+2\|-|\i
So, r is equal to 42!

Woah, I ran this in my program and it successfully divided by zero! :O

Hey wait, I'm the one maintaining it! *strangles self*
It's actually a very strange use of it. Parentheses can't be used in this calculator since it's only dealing with one function (Sin, Cos, etc.) or operation at a time, so there's no need. Beside that, you can't even enter parens or spaces into it, it can only type certain things. The regex's are used to pull the complex or real numbers from the final expression string, along with the name of the function or the operator being used. If you think this whole thing seems poorly designed, believe me, it's a far better approach than the original. If you saw how that one was coded, you would likely vomit and go "Why? WHY?!" XD

If I fix the error as I think it should be fixed, I'd say it's the regex of any binary operation between of two complex numbers :)

StCooler being the nerd in the room again. :P

 

[ReKoil]

All this coding stuff is flying right past me =P
😙

 

[_confused_piplup_]

StCooler can only be cool, that's a math postulate at this point.

I thought about backslashing that '/', but since the python regex doesn't use '/' in it's pattern, it didn't seem to complain when using it.

Sorry to go off on such a tangent... On pets again, animals no doubt have empathy. If something seems wrong with my mood, my cats pick up on it in a split second, and are there to reassure me. :3

 

[ReKoil]

It's fine really. Hardly the first time there's a specific topic where some people can't really join in well =P

Finally back in this thread after 20,000 years... How's the conversation goin'?

Don't tell me you can't read regex lol
You know programming as well!

When in doubt, I always escape ^^

I felt my dog had empathy, and I felt my cat never cared XD

I mean I can read it. But I've never been good with complex numbers. Only had it in one course in university and didn't really get it back then. xD
Also, regex is one of these things that I find useful; only to later come back to it and get really frustrated. ^^"
