Coding because you are lazy

[AeroSoul]

Today i wanted to find out, how much money i'd have to put on my phone, so that eventually my subscription would bring it down to 0.

Each time my subscription (6.99€) renews, my account balance is left at 4.5€. If i fill it manually, 5€ is the lowest amount i can fill it with. I couldn't be arsed to calculate the above on my own so i made a bit of labview code to do it for me. 

I'm sure it's terribly inefficient, but it was a quick hack and it works.

---------------

Anyway, the point of this thread is to post the code you wrote when you were too lazy to do something manually 😄

Such as how the array in the inner loop isn't needed at all...

Yeah, could have just checked if it's less than 6.99 and call it a day 😛

That too but, I think Tim meant to point out that you put an array on your SR then only care about one value.  A sure candidate for the Rube-Goldburg thread.😂🤣🙃

But, we've all had face-palm moments like that.

I would have been way too lazy to code all that! I am sure there is a "one-liner" solution that fits on a postage stamp. 😄

(I would also definitely do everything in pennies (or local equivalent) using pure integer math. There are way too many places where floating point limitations can accumulate that you never get a zero, ever.)

[altenbach]

A very lazy solution. I am sure it can be simplified 😄

Examples: kudos for having better Google skills than I

• "You can't do that with LabVIEW"
• "I NEED a numeric display with no BG color" <I actually got a solved mark for that thread 18 hours before the exact same requirement hit my inbox.>
• My USB device shuts down.  <from the other contractor sitting next to me.> yes, I even had to fix the power manager settings myself!
• I hope someone else can show me an examle of how to simulate a tracked vehicle's motion." <@CA I still won't try to reinvent atan again>

That's just plain wrong... the original calculation was in € 😄

[altenbach]

That's why I earlier said "Pennies (or local equivalent)". 😄

(my keyboard does not have the euro symbol and I was way too lazy to bring up the charmap. Wasn't that on topic? 😄 )

On my system I can enter the "€" symbol by pressing Ctrl+Alt+E: I learned it once and for all 'cause I'm too lazy to bring up the charmap every single time I have to use it (just to stay on topic 😉 )
