You're so cool

So it turns out that A) The error wasn't actually an out of memory error, I was just misreading the error code, and B) The error could in fact be accurately described as the process being "out of memory", because I had my code set up in such a way that the process literally didn't have any memory access at all, including access to the memory where its own code is stored. I tried to run a program that couldn't access its own code lol

#asks #i then ran into ANOTHER incomprehensible bug immediately after that was causing utterly nonsensical memory problems #turns out i had two function calls in the wrong order #i had no idea those function calls even affected each other #i found this bug by copy-pasting someone else's code in place of my own until it fixed the bug #then checking for differences so i could figure out what exactly caused it #still working on it today #it's my final assignment and it's due at midnight* but i'm confident in my new-found debugging method to carry me through #*technically i have like 4 days worth of extension hours but i don't want to risk me misunderstanding how those work so it's due midnight #ALSO in the incomprehensible memory bug my fucking PRINT STATEMENTS were changing the output of the program #it was a WILD bug
