[[Cueball]] is writing a piece of code (probably in the programming language {{w|C++}}) which removes an item from a data structure called a {{w|Linked list}} (the first two lines of the text). Then, he writes a {{w|Comment (computer programming)|comment}} (which is delimited by the double slashes) relating the code to his personal life. Finally, he adds an {{w|Assertion (computing)|assertion}}, which is normally a formal specification of a condition which should always be true (with which the programmer ensures that e.g. mass is not negative). But in this case, instead of asserting a software-related predicate, he asserts that “it’s going to be okay.” | [[Cueball]] is writing a piece of code (probably in the programming language {{w|C++}}) which removes an item from a data structure called a {{w|Linked list}} (the first two lines of the text).

Forgetting |
Title text: Of course, the assert doesn’t work. |
Explanation
This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: even for a programmer the explain is hard to understand If you can address this issue, please edit the page! Thanks. |
Transcript
- [Cueball sits at computer, coding.]
prev->next = toDelete->next; delete toDelete; //if only forgetting were //this easy for me
- Cueball: <sniff>
- [Cueball lowers his head into his hands and cries.]
- [Cueball types again.]
assert "It's going to be okay.";
Discussion
The syntax for pointers in C++ is &pointer and *pointer. The arrow syntax is used e.g. in PHP. So this explain does need a review. And furthermore it should focus on the assert joke, understandable for non programmers.--Dgbrt (talk) 18:48, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- Actually this works in C++ too. (*pointer).property is the same as pointer->property -- 17:58, 31 july 2013 (Time in Florida)
pair<int, int>* pntr = make_pair(5, 8); cout << (*pntr).first << endl; cout << pntr->first << endl; // the same as above
- The arrow operator -> is a valid way to access object members using smart ptrs in C++

- I removed PHP as a possible language since PHP variable names start with a $. Zetfr 09:24, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- IT IS A COMBINACION EN C++/ANOTHER LENGUAGE IN THE FOURTH PANEL ASSERT HAS NOT PARENTHESES. IN C++ THE ASSERT MUST HAVE THE PARENTHESES AND SO CANNOT BE A C++ PROGRAM. PLEASE ADVISE 108.162.210.219 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
man this one made me cry...
if i could at least forget what happened to sally... i wish it was as easy as "del filename".
this one, sadly, is too relatable for me. An user who has no account yet (talk) 15:56, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
