Catholics also have patron saints for nearly everything from infants to ice skaters that they pray to but that are totally not gods because there is only one god. I mean, yeah, their second most important prayer is directed at the Virgin Mary, but that doesn’t mean they worship her or anything.

But are you gonna return something for this method??? You said you’d return an integer, yet there is no return statement!

Wow, yours looks much more difficult than mine. I just had red balls coming out on top and having to leave at the bottom. Guess I’ll try another one.

I’m afraid I’m not following. The solution to what?

Edit: Sorry, I misread your comment.

Not only more readable than A and B but I would argue it’s also easier to remember who did what a few sentences or paragraphs earlier since Alice and Bob invoke slightly less generic mental images than A and B. For example one is a woman and the other one is a man, maybe even some person or character you know.

And now that I’m thinking about it, the different gender also makes it easier to keep track of who does what because different pronouns are used (at least in English and many other languages).

Weird sunglasses are also important.

Imagine running out of ideas before having named one after every kid. Now that would be awkward.

Thanks, I saw embedded pictures before, but didn’t know how to do that. Now I also learned something new today.

Though for xkcd comics there is an alt-text with an additional punchline for every comic (tap alt-text on mobile link or hover over the comic with the cursor on PC), so it’s not ideal.

That’s hilarious. Guess you’re one of today’s lucky 10.000.

Just in case anyone here doesn’t already know, the source is xkcd (mobile).
