(++i increments the value before the loop runs rather than afterwards)

jovial warren

hot hull
#

What is you even trynna do

jovial warren
#

escape the characters \, " and ' with backslashes and insert a quote char (either ' or ", the opposite of the first quote char it finds) at the front and end

stuck harbor
#

build a string

#

preseumably

hot hull
#

Why tho

jovial warren
#

NBT

stuck harbor
#

ew

jovial warren
#

I gotta escape those characters for it to be NBT name compliant

#

and quote it if it doesn't match the regex [A-Za-z0-9._+-]+

old wyvern
#

instead of using toChar why not specify the actual character?

jovial warren
#

yeah that might work

#

what is 0 as a char though?

#

some sort of control character iirc

old wyvern
#

\0

jovial warren
#

or a NULL

old wyvern
#

\0

hot hull
#

O/

old wyvern

#

'\0' says illegal escape

lunar cypress
#

'\u0000'

#

or just 0.toChar()

old wyvern
jovial warren
#
fun String.escape() = buildString {
    var quoteChar = '\u0000'
    this@escape.forEach {
        if (it == '\\') {
            append('\\')
        } else if (it == '"' || it == '\'') {
            if (quoteChar == '\u0000') quoteChar = if (it == '"') '\'' else '"'
            if (quoteChar == it) append('\\')
        }
        append(it)
    }
    if (quoteChar == '\u0000') quoteChar = '"'
    insert(0, quoteChar)
    append(quoteChar)

```a bit cleaner I suppose

@prisma wave ๐Ÿ‘€

jovial warren

oh no

old wyvern
jovial warren
#

BM's gonna kill me lol

hot hull
#

I want to see some slaughter so that's fine with me

jovial warren
old wyvern
#

Are you sure?

#

That seems to do exactly what you're trying to do

jovial warren
#

it doesn't quote the text though

old wyvern
#

quote as in?

jovial warren
#

or allow me to change how the text is quoted

#

""

#

or ''

old wyvern
#

Im not fully sure what you mean

#

What does that implementation do differently?

jovial warren
#

if the first quote character it comes across is ", it quotes the text in 'text'

prisma wave
jovial warren
#

if it's ', it quotes it in "text"

old wyvern
#

So it inverts the quotes?

jovial warren
#

yeah

old wyvern
#

I assume you can still do that separately

jovial warren
#

that's why it has to loop through the characters

old wyvern
#

Why not use indexOf for both and use the lesser one?

hot hull
#

Should one make over engineered stuff in a commission plugin, or is it fine so long it just works?

#

Had a cool idea, not paid enough to implement it tho

old wyvern
#

If you're maintaining it, better to make it extensible since otherwise you're going to hate yourself a few weeks down the line

hot hull
#

Doubt I'll be maintaining it, it'll be extensible, there's just a so much better way of doing it which is arguably cleaner, but effort to add it

old wyvern
#

I mean, Id suggest going the cleaner way, but if the pay if very low just do whatever and get it over with I guess

hot hull
#

wise words :kek:

#

When you done with classes?

old wyvern
#

in an hour or so

#

Unless the prof leaves us early

#

which hopefully he does

#

Im so hungry rn

biased and corrupt paper devs

jovial warren
#

I mean, 1. Adventure is the future and 2. One of Paper's core team members is also the lead of Kyori

#

so it's no wonder they switched lol

hot hull
#

Well yea but why remove the base string method

whoeevr thought that "Component.text" was a good methodshould be shot

Is your grade score even have a decimal?

Is your grade score even have a decimal?

are we the weird ones?

standardise with europeans prob

jovial warren

I mean, I agree with the switch to 1-9, but I think it should've been done across the entire UK

prisma wave
hot hull

Well I mean it's actually graded in percentages, but the grade is just a visualizer

Well, we do

onyx loom

everywhere else uses number system for grades

stuck harbor
#

noh

prisma wave

letters good

jovial warren

and 1-9 should've also applied to A-levels

Even decimals are important in this grading system

jovial warren

A-levels are still A*-G

stuck harbor

wales invented the shop food hygene system

Numbers are much better than letters
I mean if you have a 19.5 you have exactly 19.5, but an A wtf is that grade it could be a range

we don't have decimals

those weird green cards outside of shops? those were designed to be in welsh mmmm

i like the U - A* system

i prefer it

jovial warren

like if you get 1 mark under the boundary, you get the grade below

We have the possibility of these score:

1 fucking mark

well yes bardy

9, 9.25, 9.5, 9.75

thats how useless they are

stuck harbor
#

i always did mmm

ocean quartz
# onyx loom matt with his 0-20

I think the reason we have that system is because we do 2 exams per trimester, each exam is worth 10, so makes it easy, like 6 on one and 8 on the second, you hace 14

stuck harbor

does england still have SATs?

cause his dad spoke welsh

11 year olds were forced to take exams to decide if they went to a good school or a shit one

it was basically increasing the class divide

not to get all political

ocean quartz

And then no one cares about my life ._.

jovial warren
#

we have a weird split

stuck harbor
#

bri'ish schools have 3 terms

onyx loom
#

we were allowed to go to any secondary school im pretty sure but i still had to take some exams for some schools, SATs are more just like a measure for ur future development within secondary school afaik

jovial warren
#

basically, we have 3 of what we call "terms", with christmas and easter breaks being 2 weeks and the summer term being 6 weeks

onyx loom
#

i could be wrong on what sats are used for

stuck harbor
#

and each term is divided into 2 half terms

jovial warren
#

then in the middle of each term, we have half terms, which are separated by 1 week breaks

stuck harbor
#

in wales, the SATs were replaced by the welsh government exams

#

which were mad

jovial warren
#

so we get a total of 39 weeks at school and 13 weeks off

stuck harbor

welsh government exams were, basically, exams from year 2 to year 9
