Wow that’s horrible. They’re using c++.
If you really need some nightmare fuel, some of us use c++ every day and even enjoy it.
Now imagine the poor sod who gets this as an interview question
“Please extend the following code in the same code style to sort [😀,😃,😄,😁,😆] using bubble sort”
Looks like it creates a few emoji printers in a vector, then prints them all. The output is all emoji, of course. The main function exits with a random return value just to be more quirky.
I’m not sure what the purpose of the 😎 function is. In main that first predicate is always true, so it prints the poop emoji. I don’t know why it’s behind an if.
Also, there’s a copy-paste error on line 31. Wrong emoji is used.
I didn’t bother trying to see what an output would be, but this is a nightmare.
It would be great to use some emojis in coding.
Imagine how much more readable it would be if you could break a loop with 💀 or return true with 👍. Or use ❓for ifs, or ↔️ for switch (the emoji didn’t work for that one). Or use an emoji to represent a custom object?
Maybe the ECMA should get on that!
Edit: I guess you can use emojis for custom objects in js.
Edit 2: ➡ for console.log
You’d still be left with the brackets and braces though. It might make more sense in a whitespace-based language pike Python
I see your point. Personally, I like the brackets and braces, they help organize. Or maybe that’s just what I’m used to.
This just prints:
💩 🍊 🍉 🍉 🍍 🍎
Line 38 and 39 just check if a function that always returns false is false and if so, prints “💩\n”. (C++ uses the bit shift operator for file IO for some reason)
Line 41 creates a vector of shared pointers to an abstract class, or in other words, an array of functions. Each function prints the emoji, mostly the same as the name, but not always. ( 🍒 is the exception, it prints “🍉\n”)
43 and 44 just loop over the array and call every function inside, printing a bunch of emoji.
Line 46 returns the result of std::rand(), but because the programer forgot to call srand, the result is always the same (1804289383 for me).
(There are also a few missing includes, but I doubt this is intentional)

🍎Is 👀 even defined?
Yes, line 28 defines 🍴which defines 👀 and all the structs inherit from 🍴
Brand new sentence.
