The tariff formula includes multiplying by two constants, one of them equal to 4 and the other to 0.25, which is just a roundabout way of multiplying by 1
That's about as logical as the tariffs themselves. Everything is normal here, then.
What are these constants?
4 and 0.25
(they don't mean anything)
Just for safety
For what safety?
Division has op precedence over addition.
Oh, you assume this runs on a standard arithmetic patterns?
Big mistake my dude.
When nothing else in the world makes sense, at least math makes sense
You sure? You seem rather confused by the math, my friend.
No, Iβm good on math. Itβs reading that I struggle with
addition where lol
Pretty common kn SAS code to transform a number in string type to numeric.
Terrence Howard gets his own rate
Implicit casting to int I guess /s
Or some sort of normalized conversion factor like "tariff rate boys kissed per star sign" to get the units to work out correctly.
One random star sign of your choosing.
Just the typical efficiency of this government
I wonder what value each star sign is. Tied to month of the year? So like 4 for aries?
Unicode modulo 12 + 1
Aries = β = U+2648
2648 base 16 = 9800 base 10
9800 modulo 12 = 8
8 + 1 = 9
I'm unclear why you'd modulo when the OP calls for division?
That said, I hate that this almost works out to a reasonable sounding tariff rate number with the modulo.
this is just getting the star sign value, so before the division
You still have to divide by the number of boys you kissed and multiply by one
Right. So I assume in your case, you've kissed 12 boys* which would be why you'd modulo by 12. But why do the modulo instead of division?
*Side note: do they have to be boys (as in juvenile/adolescent males), or are we counting grown men too?
There are 12 zodiacs. In unicode, they have consecutive hexadecimal codes (2648 to 2653). Converting to decimal, doing modulo 12 and adding 1 should yield the numbers 1 to 12. At least that was my intention.
dragon ball zero?
Sadly, this instance has no appropriate community for a crosspost
It should obviously go in [email protected], right? It's the meta community for the instance, and although the meme isn't directly relevant, the posting of the meme in that community would be rather meta indeed...
