Zane Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I code on newspaper with a crayon...a white crayon. I parse what I write as I write it just because I'm that l33t and then I scan it into mspaint. After that I name that to a .php and it works perfectly...poof.

Daniel0 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 If you want to waste your time then it's fine by me. I just think it's stupid. Either way, you'll always be coding with an editor. Notepad is also an editor, albeit a crap editor. It doesn't even understand UNIX line breaks, nor does it have automatic indentation, syntax highlighting, bracket matching, etc. It cannot open huge files either. It'll simply freeze on large files where other editors open them instantly.

.josh Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Same thing as I said in the last 100 threads about the same thing: All I care about is remote editing and syntax highlighting. folding up blocks of code is a nice add-on, but not necessary. beyond that, it's all fluff to me, and I usually end up getting lost and frustrated. If uber pimp IDE's get you off, then go for it. Not judging. Just saying, it's not for me.

Daniel0 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I also like having code completion and code hints (haystack or needle first, anyone?). I also like when editors point out syntax errors like word processors point out spelling errors. I also like being able to Ctrl+Click (or something similar) on a non-built-in method, class or function to go to its definition. I like built-in debugging, profiling and possibly support for something like PHPUnit. Sure, I could code in Notepad (or something slightly more advanced than that like Gedit or Notepad++), but I much prefer an IDE. For minor edits on Windows I'll use Notepad++ and either Gedit or Vim on Linux, but only for minor edits.

nrg_alpha Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 To boot, it's not like all IDE's cost money. There are free ones out there (my favorite is NetBeans). So with those kind of IDE's at your disposal, I wouldn't see much point in using text editors (assuming money is supposed to be a driving determinant to resorting to those).

Daniel0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (Why is it a calculator can divide by zero (mine returns the full value) but computers (even now after many years of technoevolution) cannot divide by zero?) Your calculator is broken if it returns a numerical value for a division by zero. It's undefined, so it's an invalid operation. If you think about it, then dividing by zero doesn't make any sense. You do not divide x cakes any times between no people. How many cakes does each person get? That's x/0. It doesn't make any sense. That's of course a non-mathematical way of rationalizing it. A more mathematical way of saying it would be that multiplication and division are inverse operations, i.e. bx=a <=> a/b=x (where a and b are constants and x is a variable). Now, if b=0 then 0*x=a, right? So if a=0, then any x is the solution to the equation, but if a!=0 then there is no solution. Either way we cannot give a definite solution for b=0, thus division by zero is undefined. What exactly does your calculator claim is the result of a division by zero? You cannot just define a value because that would go against certain axioms and thus your math would be incompatible with mainstream mathematics.

My calculator can divide by zero, but alast I got it from Bed, Bath and Beyond. The secrets to dividing by zero are not to be taken lightly as they reveal the truth about the world. You figure out how to divide by zero, then you understand the world and "reality" in full. In essence you become Neo from the Matrix. That is how he learned the truth.
