The guy asked for help in Python and you SERIOUSLY gave him Ruby code?

Who does that? You're seriously an awful person and should be ashamed. Maybe I should post solutions to questions about C++ in Assembly. Better yet let me just translate all that shit to binary and draw a diagram of how it passes through the computers processors and shit, that'd be super fucking useful I bet.

often the logic is more important than the actual syntax...

you sound pretty mad, did ruby abuse you as a child?

Yeah I get that but this is fucking RUBY we're talking about.



Yes, actually. Next time someone asks me for programming help maybe I'll just show them this picture and be like "hey input the correct combinations of 0s and 1s and you've solved your problem lol!"

see I can't tell if you are against ruby or just the guy who posted the code

I think he is against people posting unrelated code to solve problems. If someone is having trouble with learning one language then introducing a different language, even if it is to help to display the logic behind the resolution, is not going to help much.

Except the OP was not asking about syntax errors. He was asking about logic errors. Replying in a different language than what the OP is using is effectively the same as offering pseudo code. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

this^^ plus the ruby was actually "aimed" at me (AbDuCt and I have this still thing where were I try to convince him to use python, and he tries to convince me to use ruby).
