try {

}

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#?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

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"
