#1✎ 990YttriaHead AdminIn this thread: post code that you would like other users to "improve."Example: User A submits good binary search algorithm
User B "improves" it by replacing variable names with animals, and for some reason it doesn't halt on some inputs.
Generally this is about the opposite of positive style critique, so the program should still work correctly, but clever underhandedness is okay too.
You do not have to improve a submission before submitting code for review, but it's nice for organization.
This is 🅱️ode 🅱️ritique, so the most clever answer wins.

sure
def ToUpper$(string$)
'optimization for 1-length strings :)
if(len(string$) == 1) then
return chr$(abs(asc(string$[.]) - 32))
endif
var safe_string$, stringbuilder$, index%
'clone string$ to prevent race conditions
New "String",(params(string$)) OUT safe_string$
'allocate an empty string for returning
New "String",(params("")) OUT stringbuilder$
while safe_string$>""
Inc stringbuilder$, ToUpper$(pop(safe_string$))
wend
return stringbuilder$
end
def ToLower$(string$)
'optimization for 1-length strings :)
if(len(string$) == 1) then
return chr$(abs(asc(string$[.]) + 32))
endif
var safe_string$
var stringbuilder$
'clone string$ to prevent race conditions
New "String",(params(string$)) OUT safe_string$
'allocate an empty string for returning
New "String",(params("")) OUT stringbuilder$
while safe_string$>""
Inc stringbuilder$, ToLower$(pop(safe_string$))
wend
return stringbuilder$
end
def ToTitleCase$(string$)
var safe_string$,
var stringbuilder$
var last_char$ = " "
'clone string$ to prevent race conditions
New "String",(params(string$)) OUT safe_string$
'allocate an empty string for returning
New "String",(params("")) OUT stringbuilder$
while safe_string$>""
if(last_char$ == " ") then
Inc stringbuilder$, ToUpper$(pop(safe_string$))
else
Inc stringbuilder$, ToLower$(pop(safe_string$))
endif
last_char$ = stringbuilder$[len(stringbuilder$ - 1)]
wend
return stringbuilder$
end
explanation: indiscriminately shifts characters up/down 32 codepoints. Even better on characters less than 32, which will reflect back up due to abs()... i.e. chr$(0) becomes space, as does chr$(64) "@"
ToTitleCase$() doesn't even pay attention to spaces in the source string, but should upcase words in the new string
also, why are we allocating two new strings just to change the case?
fake bonus recursive call.
