I legitimately use this line in one of my scripts because range.find returns an error of the value is not found. The use case is taking a 2d matrix saved as an array, with data collected from multiple excel tabs and rearranging it for a CSV upload into Salesforce. The initial array contains values that the rest of the data does not have, so when I search for a non existent value, I can skip the error.
Of course vba COULD just implement try/catch statements and that’d be so much cleaner, but alas.
if (error) { continue; }try { operation(); } catch { // nice weather, eh? }Starting with Java 21 (I think), they’ve introduced ignored variables, so you can now actually do this:
try { operation(); } catch (Exception _) { // nice weather, eh? }Edit: forgot that this is about JS lel
So basically the same as a discard in C#?
Yeah, Python has it as well. I think the only real use of it is code readability since you declare that this variable will never be used.
Same thing right?
If your joking yes, if your not Java and Java Script are seperate things.
His joking?
Actually made this mistake in front of 20 people the other day. Guy at my job mentioned coding in java and I asked if he was doing web dev 🤦
Plenty of java back end web development, so maybe not as embarrassing as you felt?
He said “I’ve been closing in C# and Java for 2 years” and I asked, in front of everyone, “are you doing web dev?” And he just coldly said no
See this could have been fine if I didn’t double down and go “then what are you using java for… OH WAIT”

Thanks. I hate it.

Was always syntacticly confusing for me.
