Girls can make great programmers. Clearly this one doesn't. What's your point OP?

I'm not a programmer

Is this literally a program to multiply things without using a multiplication sign

You know I get kind of sick of this.

There are wonderful female programmers out there. I have personally met and have worked with several. Then I have met girls who suck at code but get pushed along because there's this "women in tech" movement -- reinforcing sexist stereotypes that women can't code or whatever.

Why don't we just try to be objective and evaluate code on its own merits?

Yes, and it's done poorly. It illustrates an understanding of java, but does so at the cost of higher principles like DRY.

Society raises girls 'differently', then, when they grow up, some of them think they have to "be different" (there's no 'boys who code').
Raise your girls (if you guys are having any kids) "like boys": let them face the world and fall down and get up and break RC cars after one week to see what's inside and...

Now recommend me some

What's the "right" answer to this question?
Do you just bitshift 'a' 'b' times

>>58813501
there are many ways to do it but definitely not by bitshifting 'a' 'b' times

>>58813653
I realized as soon as i posted it that it would end up being a^b. forgive me :/

>>58813721
you mean a*2^b

>>58813501
Just add a to itself b times. So a for loop with incrementation of a by it's original value b times should work.

>>58813501
for(int i = 0; i < b; i++) a += a;
return a;

>Girls can make great programmers.
Correct, giving birth is the only thing women are good for, and their sons could potentially be great programmers.

>>58813885
wow im dumb i thought this was le super clever haxor knowing that the computer uses powers of two and you can bitshift those to simulate multiplication

i forgot what multiplication was

>>58813211
why the fuck isn't this a loop

>>58814030
that's the joke dude

This.
There are great programmers that happen to be women, but the set of genitals you get is seldom relevant.

I wish people would quit with the divisive bullshit and let people do what they enjoy doing, whatever that is.

post code faggits

int mult(int a, int b)
{
    if(a < 0 && b < 0)
        return mult(abs(a), abs(b));
        
    if(a < 0)
        return mult(b, a);

    if(a == 0)
        return 0;
    else
        return b + mult(a-1, b);
}

int mult(int a, int b)
{
    if(a < 0 && b < 0)
        return mult(abs(a), abs(b));
        
    if(a < 0)
        return mult(b, a);

    int temp = 0;
    while(a-- != 0)
    {
        temp += b;
    }
    return temp;
}
