Cake, Batman, Tester.

Cake, Batman, TestFilter...though I can be convinced to choose pie if it’s got a crumbly crust 😋

 


Cake, Spiderman, TestFilter


Pie easily (apple with ice cream!!), Batman, TestFilter 😀


Batman and the Cake Clue

One night, Batman found a mysterious cake at Gotham Bakery. Using FME and a Tester transformer, he decoded a hidden distress signal from the cake. The signal led him to an abandoned warehouse where the Joker had kidnapped the bakery owner. Batman rescued the owner and enjoyed a slice of cake back at the Batcave, knowing he had solved another mystery due to FME.

Love it!


Pie - being from Melton Mowbray I am contractually obliged to mention Pork Pie!

Batman - as long as it’s Adam West.

TestFilter - Because it does what the Tester can, plus a lot more


Holy TestFilter Batman, it’s a pie!

 


Cake, Batman, TestFilter

 

Having said that, I tend to use Tester more frequently as most of the time I want to test A or not A. But TestFilter can do what Tester does and more as well.


Cake, Spiderman and TestFilter :- )


Holy TestFilter Batman, it’s a pie!

 

Should we design pie-themed henchman-outfits?


Pie, Spider-man and TestFilter! 😁


(Apple) Pie, Spiderman, TestFilter


Pie as it can be both a savory dish, something festive and, without an ‘e’, can be used to calculate important stats of itself.

Testfilter, because you can name the output ports, and all the other things you can do with it, the Tester can’t.

Spiderman because my son says so.

 


Pie (fruit tart, would that be considered pie?)

Spiderman (better storyline)

TestFilter (but I have to admit I use the Tester a lot more)

 


I would say Batman. Fun fact: When no one was looking, Lex Luthor took forty cakes. He took 40 cakes! That’s as many as four tens! And that’s terrible.

Also, TestFilter, because having to split a collection of elements into several subsets is something I do all the time, and being able to do that in a single transformer.

All excellent reasons!
