Hi all,
This is completely off-topic, but I wanted to share a few "programmer private
jokes", that is to say fun things I found in code written by unexperienced
programmers (not things found on the web, just what I saw)...
Note: There is no specific order (= the first/last is not necessarily the
funiest).
1. No breaks and useless 'if':
if (param==CONSTANT1 || param==CONSTANT2 || param==CONSTANT3 ...) {
switch(param) {
case CONSTANT1:
value=1;
case CONSTANT2:
value=2;
case CONSTANT3:
value=3;
// ... and no 'default' of course.
}
}
2. "NOP in da house"
Here, "NOP" is a macro that does nothing useful, generally used to put
breakpoints. But when you have a pile of them, that looks fun:
switch(value) {
case 'a': NOP; break;
case 'b': NOP; break;
case 'c': NOP; break;
case 'd': NOP; break;
// ...
case -1: NOP; break;
default:
NOP; break;
}
3. "NOP is good for you"
Here, the code *IS* intended to do something (that's not supposed to be a
"NOP"):
if (value == 32) {
value = 32;
}
4. What possibly does this thing?
value = value++;
Actually, it seem to be compiler and type dependant... for integers, some
compilers leave the variable unchanged, some increment it.
Cheers! :)
