best c operator #493

poll, in 1 moment

now there is a poll.

i vote for -> for its whimsical charm

the only important one

this one also amuses me so.

if apioforum had ranked-choice voting this might be more interesting. on the other hand, it mightn't be

The most useful is probably a-=b since it's almost tc by itself. But it's not the most amusing

actually, i think a(...) is the best, but also doesn't look like an operator. the other only important one

ternary operator 🥺

&a tickles my brain in an inexplicable way

brain tickling :3⊏

I was trying to explain why I chose *a but viba described it pretty fittingly, surprisingly. except that it's *a for me and not &a

yeet here be bitshift

like idk what "best" is but if u were classpecting me into this then i would be this, maybe

what is classpection?

homestuck

i don't want to read an entire webcomic to find out what classpection means

classpecting is sorting you into your hogwarts house except there is a large quantity of houses

so classpection is a personality test?

essentially, i guess so

it's more to do with powers and major plot points, sort of

minor spoilers, if it's spoilers at all dGhlICJoZWlyIG9mIGJyZWF0aCIgZG9lcyB3aW5keSB0aGluZ3MsIHRoZSAid2l0Y2ggb2Ygc3BhY2UiIGRvZXMgc3BhY2V5IHRoaW5ncywgdGhlICJrbmlnaHQgb2YgdGltZSIgZG9lcyB0aW1leSB0aGluZ3MsIHRoZSAic2VlciBvZiBsaWdodCIgZG9lcyBsaWdodHkgdGhpbmdzLgo=

an "a<<b" does << things, presumably, and i do << things sometimes

what kinds of << things do you do

https://github.com/munvoseli/minv/blob/master/speed.c (defining u32 to be 64 bits (on my machine) is so great wow why did i do that)

and also attempts at decoding binary file formats use << and <<= a bunch

a ? b : c is just rly nice
