My fan made Animation vs Coding part 2

Do you think stick figure AI would "assume" data type of all number to be float, double, or decimal?

...What? This is not a well-known fun fact outside STEM community?

So many people have this problem, someone made a whole webpage explaining it.

More organic explanation here; Defining a right data type is a big deal in programming. At least the programmer who manually assign it float/double would know why it went wrong.

JavaScript, however, will automatically assign an appropriate data type, and is advertised to be more beginner-friendly... Can you see why this became a meme?

0.1 and 0.2 will be considered double data type, which can't be accurate expressed in base 2.

There is only (1/2), (1/4), (1/8), ... ,(1/(2 power n)) in base 2.

It can't accurately express (1/10 and 2/10), but it still makes a very good approximation. That is why it is only 0.00000000000000004 off.

This is why in most statistic analysis and calculator use decimal data type. Or banking uses fixed-point numbers data. They both have their limitation; Decimal requires more computing power, which mean more specialized device. While fixed-point works fine with money because it's transferring money, not doing maths. It would never have to deal with 0.3333333... dollar.

Do you know what language is from the same family as JavaScript? That's right, it's Flash's programming language, ActionScript.

I told you my Computer Science grade was horrid, but this is very basic, so I am more confident explaining it.

GO YELLOW

IM CHEERING FOR U

[illmoraineakoi]

Yellow snuffling onto the desktop after "waking up" the next morning, disheveled and exhausted.

The Others: What happened to you???

Yellow, pouring himself some coffee: Laptop attacked me.

Others: ...What?

Yellow: Laptop attacked me. Almost got blown up by a nuke.

Others: ?????????????

Thoughts on Animation vs Coding!

YELLOW MY BOY, I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH

So... AvEducation is totally a bunch of dreams, yeah? Yellow literally woke up in this one, I don't care what Alan says. I've connected the dots–

This may be the episode I understand the least, but it was still really fun! I know nothing about Python, so I was absolutely lost lol

I love the laptop, and I love how Yellow was able to bring it back in the end. "hello yellow" is extremely cute.

I do think this post sums up the cons pretty well; Yellow didn't go through the learning process like Orange did in previous episodes. he seemed to already know how to code pretty well, and then pulled out the ability to code an AI (right? that's what that was?) right at the end. That does bother me a bit.

But the episode was fun, and I'm happy to see the team branching out with other characters! (and we haven't seen the CG in a proper episode in a while)
