minus-squarekubica@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up24·3 days agoLets fix it. I think that since we are removing the ones, then “11” - 1 should be equal to “”.
minus-squarer00ty@kbin.lifelinkfedilinkarrow-up15·3 days agoShould it, or should it be “1”? (just removing one, one)
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 days agoWhich “1” did it remove? And did it search the string to find a “1” to remove, or did it remove whichever character happened to be at array index 1?

minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 days agoIt should just randomly pick any “1”. Add a bit of spice, you know
minus-squareanton@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 days agomaybe we removed the last n characters
minus-squareShanmugha@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 days agoHear me out: “11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “11” (did not find “-1” in "11) Or “11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “1” (removed first “1”)

Hear me out:
“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “11” (did not find “-1” in "11)
Or
“11” - 1 = “11” - (-1) = “1” (removed first “1”)
