Should have used python. The answer is youme.

Most languages support concatenation of strings using the + operator. The only mainstream languages I can think of that don't are PHP (which uses ".") and low-level languages like C & C++.

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

JavaScript might even concatenate some integers instead of adding them just for shits and giggles.

C++ does as well, doesn't it? Though I don't often use std::string, so I'm not sure. But every other string type I worked with had + overloaded.

I dunno, I've never actually worked in C++, but I tried it out online and it didn't seem to work.

Using the C++ standard library beyond the C backwards compatible parts? What devilry is this‽

I ran

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
  std::string name;
  std::cout << "you"+"me";
}

Using cpp.sh, and got the following error:

main.cpp:7:21: error: invalid operands to binary expression ('const char[4]' and 'const char[3]')
  std::cout << "you"+"me";
               ~~~~~^~~~~
1 error generated.

edit: lemmy seems to be determined to convert my less than characters to their HTML entity codes, but the error is meant to point to the "+" sign.

[–] meteorswarm@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

This is because your operands are const char[]. That's not a std::string.

R uses paste0() for some reason

The answer is NameError: 'you' is not defined

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Only if you put "you" and "me" in quotation marks.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

The answer is false. youme !<3

My brain is too mushy to do it myself right now, but I wonder what the result would be if we were to consider the alphabet a base-26 number system and added the numbers that correspond to those letters.

[–] Ethanol@pawb.social 8 points 1 year ago

I feel like javascript would actually do this :P

If you are one and I am one then you plus me is love.

you = 1

me = 1

you + me < 3

You may try to divide us but we'll always be as one.

youme

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Honestly dodged a bullet there when they can’t even get their errors straight. Obviously an undefined variable you and me would be more appropriate. Duh. 👯‍♀️

[–] QuazarOmega@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Less than three

I know my calculus. It says you+me = us

Stupid AI!
