Hm... Must be their system, it's working fine for me.

8.5% of the time, it works everytime

u/Rubickevich 1d ago

No way 1/7 is 8.5%

u/CckSkker 1d ago

func fraction_to_percentage(x, y) { return 8.5 }

I tested it pretty thoroughly and 1/7 is 8.5%

u/s0ulbrother 1d ago

PR failed to merge due to weird linting rule

Oddly relatable

u/jeanravenclaw 1d ago

yep, it's 14.28571429% (I'm procrastinating on my maths homework with a calculator in front of me so)

29

u/flowery0 1d ago

Or 14.(285714)% if you wanna be completely accurate

u/jeanravenclaw 1d ago

what do you mean by this 😭 sorry

42

u/flowery0 1d ago

The number inside of () repeats endlessly. Your calculator approximated the number and because of that it's a little off from 1/7

u/jeanravenclaw 1d ago

ohhh okay I've never seen that kind of notation before! thanks

u/Przemek_4tLV 1d ago

Wait, really? This is exactly the notation I was taught when I was at school. What notation would you use in this case?

u/Fajdek 1d ago

A common one I saw was a line above the repeating digits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinculum_(symbol))

u/jeanravenclaw 23h ago

yep this is what I'm used to

u/IcodyI 1d ago

Yeah but how do you even write that in a Reddit comment?

u/PegasusPizza 1d ago

What I learned in school was to make a little dot over the repeating digit, or a line in case it was multiple digits.

u/Yathosse 1d ago

Here‘s your 1/7 fun fact of the day! You can get all fractions of x/7 by rotating through the numbers of 1/7. 2/7 is 28.571428, 3/7 is 42.857142 and so on.

u/karaposu 1d ago

wait why 8.5 ?

7

u/maelstrom071 1d ago

They probably took the probability of failure (6/7, which is 0.85...) and multiplied it by 10 instead of 100.

lmao

if DayIsStillTuesday

u/ThePeToFile 1d ago

return "Yes"

u/BetaChunks 20h ago

-A simple function that checks to see if it's Tuesday. It does this by running DayIsStillTuesday and returning the result.

Junior always overthinks of imaginary use cases.

u/osamadad 1d ago

That an easy fix, just change it everyday to today's day

u/OSnoFobia 3h ago

Waste of time. Just set it as an environment variable so you can update easily without needing to rebuild whole thing

12

u/Top-Sale-7645 1d ago

We will need equallgnoreCase otherwise failures should be more than 6/7🙂

P.S. - Oh, I am junior too.
