Okay, I'm assuming that first line does some fuckery.

Wait, why are you doing ios related programming

Blech

Also i hate when people dont use “Using namespace std;” and just type std: a bagillion times

You shouldn't use namepsace std; in actual software.

@DanielKO I you wanna explain it.

do you suggest `using std::cout;` or something?

`Using namespace std;` is bad for actual software, generaly fine for small side projects, because if you're using libraries and they happen to have them named the same, say they both have their own `String`, then it's going to cause issues when you `Using namespace String`.

polluting namespace is bad mmkay

clang-tidy/format are great

That method, `std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio()`, controls whether the standard stream objects `cin`, `cout`, `cerr`, `clog`, `wcin`, `wcout`, `wcerr`, `wclog` are synchronized with `stdin`, `stdout`, `stderr`.

If you turn synchronization off, you might get better performance in `cin`, `cout`, etc.

If you're just using the standard library, don't worry about `using namespace std;`.

But, if you're teaching someone C++, you don't want them to learn bad habits.

So yes, `using std::cout;` is a more controlled way to do it.

I agree, when I was taught c++, we were told to have ```Using namespace std;``` and it took me a while to get out of the habit of it later

I say, never overlook possible excuses for a programmer to copy-paste shit. If it gets too verbose, you can be a good fraction of programmers just copy-pastes shit to avoid typing.

```cpp
void dump_debug_stats(const Data& d)
{
using namespace std;

...

clog << "Data Type: " << setw(4) << hex << uppercase << setfill('0') << d.type << "\n";
clog << "\tpayload: " << setw(12) << setfill(' ') << right << d.payload
<< "\ttimestamp:" << setw(20) << dec << d.timestamp << "\n";
}```

This is an example of a justified use of `using namespace std;`.

Because if you say "always use `using std::somename;`", you know what's going to happen. Some idiot will create one single header, `usingstd.h`, and fill it with
```cpp
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::sqrt;
using std::string;
using std::vector;
...
```

Yeah, but what you're taught is usually shortcuts that aren't always used in production.

There are many style guides out there that would castrate you for not following if you're working with a team for software design.

There is a reason you refactor codebases more than you actually implement more functionality.

those eyes...

mfw using split on visual studio

Or the standard layout. I don't need like 3 output windows, repo, and project directories on startup. pls.

I'll only use VS for large projects I actually need intellesense.

Otherwise atom.

Most stuff I do doesn't need a massive IDE though.

@Deleted User Ironically, I just got done today working on the largest Excel spreadsheet I've personally ever made.

why?

I was helping my mother who is the sustainability manager of our county, and they've basically thrust some of the light work their data scientist should be doing onto her. Her, being a 57 year old middle aged white woman, has no fucking clue what she's supposed to do. So I help her with that stuff. @Deleted User

It's a lot of writing formulas to calculate percent change when reducing electricity usage in certain areas.

@Deleted User @M4Gunner Here's an part of it. You can enter in a custom % reduction and it will calculate each row using the new percentage from that row and the other data from the table above, and the bottom table allows you to enter in a custom % reduction for each category individually. However, unfortunately, because of floating point error, it's not exact. Thus, if you enter in a 0% reduction, it actually calculates a 1% increase in the final column.

@meratrix are the formulas in **google sheets** the same as excel

I believe so.

Why do you ask @M4Gunner ?

because i havent used excel in a long time

Ooh
