This Works In Theory

The eternal struggle between theory and reality, illustrated with the elegance of a napkin sketch. What we have here is a linked list implementation of a number classifier that would make computer science professors proud and working developers cry. Sure, in theory, you can determine if a number is odd or even by traversing a linked list where each node points to its opposite classification. Start at "isEven" with 0, follow the pointer once for 1 to get "isOdd", twice for 2 to get back to "isEven"... mathematically sound! Meanwhile, in the real world, the rest of us are just using n % 2 == 0 like normal people and going home at 5pm instead of debugging infinite loops when someone inputs 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.

Hip Hip Array! The Amazing Loop

Someone just wrote a Python loop that prints "hip hip" and "hooray" alternately and called it "amazing." That's the coding equivalent of discovering fire in 2023. The code increments a counter and checks if it's odd or even - printing "hip hip" for odd numbers and "hooray" for even ones. The real kicker? The variable 'n' isn't even initialized before they start adding to it. Absolute madlad behavior. Seven years of coding experience and I'm still waiting for my "amazing" badge for writing a basic if-else statement.
