If I were to win, I'd only need one ticket. I'm not sure if this
counts (it might be more appropriate for the Daily WTF), but I once
saw Java code that looked like the following (I don't remember what
was inside the if blocks):
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
if (i == 0) {
//some code to handle case 0
} else if (i == 1) {
//some code to handle case 1
} else if (i == 2) {
//some code to handle case 2
} else if (i == 3) {
//some code to handle case 3
} else if (i == 4) {
//some code to handle case 4
}
}
I was going to make fun of whoever had written it and ask why on earth
it had been structured as a loop, but I lost my nerve when the version
control system revealed that it had been written by the head of the
engineering team for the small startup I was at. I think I'd be more
courageous about calling him on it at this point. :)
