Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

Someone helped me with the JS code for my table tennis exercise project.
Now I'm trying to clean up the code before continuing to work on it. Please tell me how to clean up the code so JSLint does not give any more warnings. If you notice any other things, feel free to tell me. I'm a newbie

My main problems are:

Using "use strict"; and this in the same function gives a "strict violation". I would like to use "use strict";, but does that mean every this has to be rewritten to something else?
JSLint doesn't like the bitwise operators. What is the "JSLint-approved"-way to say |= and &= (lines 292 and 294)?
JSLint also doesn't recognize the arrow operator => (lines 530 and 533). I managed to replace one in line 318 with an extra function, but I cant figure out how to do it in the lines 530 and 533.
The createAddTable function depends on drawEmpty, drawEmpty depends on addTable and addTable depends on createAddTable. Now JSLint tells me to put one in front of the other so I dont call something I dont have defined yet. How can I solve this?

So I apologize if this isn't the place to ask about VBA in Excel, but does anyone know if it's possible to write a subroutine that let's you expand a cell upon double click?

Basically I'm putting a lot of data into a cell, and am imagining that normally the cell would remain at it's default size until the user double clicks the cell or something to expand it and see the contents of the cell. In a perfect world, the user would be able to double click the cell again to collapse it.

Thanks in advance!

As an aside, I just wanted to thank you guys for all of the advice you give in the thread. It's super informative and I appreciate the aid!

Someone helped me with the JS code for my table tennis exercise project.
Now I'm trying to clean up the code before continuing to work on it. Please tell me how to clean up the code so JSLint does not give any more warnings. If you notice any other things, feel free to tell me. I'm a newbie

My main problems are:

Using "use strict"; and this in the same function gives a "strict violation". I would like to use "use strict";, but does that mean every this has to be rewritten to something else?
JSLint doesn't like the bitwise operators. What is the "JSLint-approved"-way to say |= and &= (lines 292 and 294)?
JSLint also doesn't recognize the arrow operator => (lines 530 and 533). I managed to replace one in line 318 with an extra function, but I cant figure out how to do it in the lines 530 and 533.
The createAddTable function depends on drawEmpty, drawEmpty depends on addTable and addTable depends on createAddTable. Now JSLint tells me to put one in front of the other so I dont call something I dont have defined yet. How can I solve this?

OK, first of all, you should read about the module pattern in JS, this will help you clean up your code immensely. Another thing is that you should wrap all this code inside a function so that you only have to declare 'use strict' once and not in every single function call.

If you want to remove => then all you need to do is this:


MOUSE.events.forEach(n => { this.element.removeEventListener(n, this.event); });
// ^ becomes this:

MOUSE.events.forEach(function(n) {
this.element.removeEventListener(n, this.event);
});
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

this does not work. I can not exactly tell what is wrong, but you cant use any mouse functions

is software development the only area where people keep looking for solutions to problems which have already been solved in a very solid way?

You have to keep checking. Perhaps there's a newer, betterer solution?

That article is from 6 years ago. Nowadays, one can use import/export ES6 with babel.

The problem comes when you can't use ES6 in your project (technically TypeScript could help with that). Also, despite being old, this article is still valid.

You can transpile with babel/webpack or grunt. Better learn modern tools than old stuff that no one uses anymore. At least mention the module API. http://requirejs.org/docs/why.html

"Old stuff that no one uses anymore" is a bit of an exaggeration. Not everyone can use all the shiny new tools.

I don't see the guy who ask for a link say anything about having to use Javascript from 2010. Anyway, I don't want to argue with you but I felt inappropriate to leave with such an obsolete description of modules in JS. NPM and bower wouldn't exist without them.

But have they really been solved in a solid way? Solutions in software developement are most of the time a question of personal taste. Whether one solution is a good solution or not may differ from programmer to programmer.

Just came by to share this mind blowing book with you guys: https://drboolean.gitbooks.io/mostly-adequate-guide/content/ch1.html

Probably the best introduction to functional programming you can imagine.

Guys I need your help. Before I begin, this is not a "which is the superior language" but which is more suitable.

I want to dedicate myself to master a backend language and currently confused between Java EE and PHP. Java EE (Or Java in general) seems much more manifold. If you want to take a break from backend development, you can easily shift to Android App development since it is the exact same language and you just need some time reading manuals.

On the other hand, PHP is taking the lion's share in backend development languages. So it is much easier to get a job with backend PHP since like 70% of the sites in the world are PHP.

From my limited knowledge. It seems PHP is used more for "simpler" sites but Java EE is used more for serious business sites like eCommerce.

I'm just unable to choose which language to dedicate my time to master. Can you please help me?

P.S. There is still Node JS which I don't know much about and whether it could be better than both Java EE or PHP.... I really need help...

if you think PHP is for simpler non-ecommerce sites you are horrendously mistaken

As I said, from my "limited" knowledge. I just can't make up my mind and I need some help.

You can go with node and javascript. Then if you "want to take a break from backend development" you can go and write frontend.
