doing things that make me feel gross
(it's
let i = 0;
for (; i<matches[0].length; i++) {
const idx = i + currentSignal.length;
if (matches[0][idx] !== matches[matches.length-1][idx]) break;
}
)
@monorail I think a while loop would be better but I'm not sure I would give enough of a shit in a code review because either way would look Weird

@wallhackio ??? Iterating i over a range of numbers is a very typical use for a for loop, why are you saying that a while loop would be better?!
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio it's advancing an index while those two mismatch
@alas @wallhackio Oh. Something like this?
[removed because it's full of mistakes and I'm ashamed]
This does make sense from a control flow perspective, sorry for not seeing it immediately
@vaporeon_ @alas @wallhackio you dropped the i increment
@vaporeon_ @alas @wallhackio but anyway, if you wrote a loop ending in i++ in the body, my furst thought would be “this is a for loop”
@aescling @alas @wallhackio Yes, exactly, I think the thing I typed up with
do { ... } while ( ... );is just worse in this case. Curious how Clodsire would do it differently if he prefers a while loop.
