Could be inside a class for something to be sucked, making unsucked a variable for the class. CheckAndSuck would be a better name for the function. I don’t think the meme needed a code audit but here I am.
However, if this was a functional programming language, there wouldn’t be any mutable global variables to be unaware were being examined, nor could Suck do any sucking unless it were passed the thing to suck and returned the sucked thing.
In this way the subtle class of bugs that you both are warning against would be impossible to introduce.
Depending on the kind of sucking that Suck does, however, you may perceive the global invisibility and availability of the sucking as an advantage in this case. But possibly not if the code is your girlfriend/boyfriend.
bruh why is
unsuckeda global variablealso that function shouldn’t be named
Checkif it does things other than checking (e.g. sucking)Could be inside a class for something to be sucked, making

I didn’t need to do this but I did and now I want it in my comment history:
class Suckable { bool unsucked; public: Suckable () { unsucked = true; } void Suck() { unsucked = false; } void CheckAndSuck() { if (unsucked) { Suck(); } } };Sorry for making you see c++, it’s the language I’m currently using. This program compiles on my machine and doesn’t use global variables.
