        Haha, that’s either horrible if you don’t know what you just did there or brilliant parody if you did.

          Nah he’ll get a TypeError. Not seeing why, honestly…

          Unless you consider the merciless and systematic execution of all billionaires to be genocide…which I guess is technically fair…but it’s for a good cause! (…said every genocidist ever…)

          Of course, I changed the name of the iterable…

          And we’re talking about intro to compsci…getting a bit ahead of ourselves going right from loops to comprehension.

            Nope, billionaire is a designator, not a discriminator. They’re iterating over population and decapitating everyone regardless of wealth. ;)

            It’s missing an if <someOtherDesignatorForPopulatioMember> in billionaires in the comprehension.

            He just called everyone in the population a billionaire and executed them without actually checking if they are in fact billionaires. Somewhat too close to reality in some scenarios for my taste…
