turned out to be a semicolon
The tests wouldn't even run of that was the issue, pretty sure (depends on the language I suppose)
fun situations can arise when you write , instead of ; For those not in the know, in c++ the comma operator evaluates the left expression, discards the value, then evaluates the right expression and returns the value. if you now have a a situation like this
i has a completely different value, since it actually uses the return value of printf instead
And people give Python shit for significant whitespace 😂
I'll just write thousands of lines of code inside a global object... I'm sure I won't put a semicolon where a comma should be...
Easy solution:
Find all: ;
Replace with: ,
And in python, no less. Sloppy.
