You shouldn't post stuff like that if it's not anything impressive. Unless you don't understand how something works in which case maybe you could.

Nobody makes a thread every time they manage to print out "Hello World" in cs2d with lua scripting (or in any other language for that matter). Even if it feels fucking awesome

A few hints that will make coding a lot easier / better in the future:

• Use the indentations. Correctly. Focus on that. It's super important
• Give your variables good names. "n" and "n2" are not good names. "op" is also not a good name.
• Don't return the result, the return value of the main function is the exit code of the application and a return value != 0 is usually considered to be an error.

other than that: congratulations on writing your first lines of code! Continue training!

First programming, first is always exciting and want to brag it to people even though that is basic stuff.

Well done and never forget that feeling, continue your programming.
But, ya don't brag every time whenever you program something basic. cheers fella

@user tek69 & @user script favor: Off-topic does not mean "anything useless with no significance" by the way. I'd pass it down if you were asking for help but unfortunately that is not the case here.
I'm not trying to be the bad guy here and ruin your fun. Just have some common sense.
@user tek69: You should consider contributing something meaningful if you think it's "nothing but a trash collection" or alternatively if you don't want to do that, you may leave

@user Rainoth:
Well, I am not the one who said this thread is useless, "meaningful" is not a word for individual, not from you. Either way you can ban us all or close this thread, your comments are useless that's what I am saying, in case you don't understand.

This thread is hella spicy, what's with all the negativity?
Y'all need to chill or something.

Anyways this thread isn't useful or useless, it's a good way to motivate people to become programmers but that isn't very likely.

I think this thread should stay as long as people stop going off topic.

@user tek69:
I shall explain one last time then.
You said the forum is nothing but a trash collection, a useless forum.
I disagree with that statement but the only thing I can do now is to repeat myself and ask you to either contribute something so that it's no longer useless (to you) or leave, because coming in and saying "this forum is useless" is meaningless. If you critique something, suggest solutions. Whining for the sake of whining isn't helping anyone.
If I interpret this correctly, you saying "'meaningful' is not a word for individual, not from you" means you thing what I do is not meaningful. That's fine, one or two voices isn't a significant part of this community.
So to put it simply for you to understand:
If you post meaningless things, that's wrong (it's obvious why that is so).
If I (or any other person for that matter) comes and calls you out on it and explains what you could do instead (like I did before, for instance), that's not a meaningless thing. If that makes you realize that you have better things to do with your life than complain about the forum, more power to the person who called you out on it.
To keep this reply shorter (since it's already becoming a wall of text), I'm mostly aiming it at what user tek69 said instead of both of you.

I think user script favor got enough encouragement to keep practicing programming and enough negative responses to understand not to do this again.
Closed.
