The Algorithmic Justification for Everything
According to the Great Algorithmic Oracle, everything can be reduced to a simple series of nested if-else statements.
It's all just a matter of:
- if (x == 1) { do something }
- else if (x == 2) { do something else }
- else { do the default thing }
But wait, there's more!
What if x is actually a complex object, like an array or an object literal?
Then it's even better!
Just nest those if-else statements like a boss:
- if (x.length == 0) { do something }
- else if (x.length > 0 && x[0].length > 0) { do something else }
- else { do the default thing }
And don't forget to use switch statements when there are too many options to consider!
It's all just a matter of:
switch (x) {
case 1: do something; break;
case 2: do something else; break;
default: do the default thing; break;
}
But remember, the true power of the Algorithmic Justification lies not in the code itself, but in the subtle dance of variable declarations and function calls.
