I call it making assumptions that may be incorrect, and do you know if the compiler will do the optimization anyway in this case?
What statement do you flag as assumption? Yes, I do. The modulo operator is only a subset of bit masks. It is more explicit to write:
if ( (variable &EVEN_MASK) == 0) ...
To act upon even numbers then:
if ( (variable %2) == 0) ...
How would you name the 2 in the above statement for more expressive power?
EVEN_MODULO_OP ? That may throw more people off imo.
You shouldn't rename 2 at all. "Even" has a commonly understood meaning that is instantly recognizable from
(variable %2) == 0. The bitmask is an overgeneralization.Psh screw those people, they need to see my massive coder wang
if(!i&1){ ... }I give up, I was wrong to even think about the modulo operator, you are clearly the master programmer. 🥇
This reminds me of a discussion about the ternary operator
? :, some people think its the one true way of writing code because its just so clear what it does. And I say please use it sparingly because if you start doing nested ternary operators its very hard to unpack what your code does, and I prefer readability over compact code, especially with today's compilers.I feel you said about JavaScript as a whole.
