Lol ok I’ll ask: wtf is that code?
The code is for an incremental RPG programming game called Bitburner, which uses a version of JavaScript that has some additional game-specific APIs and restrictions (the game originally ran in a web browser)
This code in particular is a (flawed) solution to the first problem the game throws at you, which is finding a way to hack as much in-game money as possible from in-game servers. (The problem is more complicated than it appears at first glance, and I’ll try to elaborate if you ask.)
Urghh, now I must post before I leave…
What the fuck kind of JavaScript fuckery is
for (; ; i++)
i is already initiated so the first statement isn’t necessary so it’s empty.
The loop is ended with a conditional break statement so the loop end criteria isn’t necessary so it’s empty.
We want each iteration to increment i so it’s i++
That’s how you end up with (;;i++)
