#ObjectScript

Hi, Community!

Want to share with you one debugging approach from the Russian forum.

Suppose I want to debug the application and I want it to stop the execution on a particular line.

I add in code this line:

l +d,-d

When I want to start debugging in this line I block d in terminal

USER> l +d

And execute the app.

The app stops on this line and lets me connect to it with Studio debugger.

(Possibly?) little-known fact: It's possible to use $ListBuild on the left hand side of the equals sign in a set command to extract multiple list values at once:

For example:

Remember the assembunny language we had to code on day 12 (https://community.intersystems.com/post/advent-code-2016-day12-leonardos...)?

I know it's late, but I really love the advent of code theme each year to find some project ideas to go out and code something and push myself.

I had the intentions of completing the AOC 2018 before the new year, but I've got 2 young kids (1yo and 4yo), so most nights I just want to sleep.

I've been looking at this on my half hourly commute each day before and after work.

So whilst doing this, I found not many people had posted what they had done and in previous years.

In recent discussion on CachéQuality I was (friendly) blamed for old syntax promotion and deliberate obfuscation of the code. Therefore I decided to clarify my point and shed some light on one of possible source of side effects that may unexpectedly occur with RETURN command with an argument.

The challenge today is about some basic cryptography : you will have to generate data for a one-time pad (OTP) (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad for more info).

In MX any global can be displayed on a sheet in the form of a table.

We will look at the simplest example (work only with CACHE-2014+ or IRIS)
