Our finance folks were a bit annoyed by one of our web pages, where it occasionally rounded the final total to the nearest dime. While troubleshooting a former colleague's JavaScript code that added 2% to the amount entered by the user, I found this gem. His intention, at least, was obvious by the function name.
function CurrencyFormatted(amount) {
var i = parseFloat(amount);
if (isNaN(i)) { i = 0.00; }
var minus = '';
if (i < 0) { minus = '-'; }
i = Math.abs(i);
i = parseInt((i + .005) * 100);
i = i / 100;
s = new String(i);
if (s.indexOf('.') < 0) { s += '.00'; }
if (s.indexOf('.') == (s.length - 2)) { s += '0'; }
s = minus + s;
return s;
}
Isn't that brilliant? I mean, why use the simple, single-line solution isFixed(2) when you can do the same thing in 9 lines? 
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Perhaps he didn't know isFixed exists

GregorianCalendar date = new GregorianCalendar(1888, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY");
String convertedstring = sdf.format(date.getTime());
System.out.println(convertedstring);
output: 1887 (on my laptop anayway)
GregorianCalendar date = new GregorianCalendar(1888, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy");
String convertedstring = sdf.format(date.getTime());
System.out.println(convertedstring);
output: 1888
For those who didn't notice, in sample 1 I put "YYYY", in sample 2 "yyyy".
I couldn’t immediately find something in the docs or google explaining this…

"YYYY" means week years.
Quote: A week year is in sync with a WEEK_OF_YEAR cycle. All weeks between the first and last weeks (inclusive) have the same week year value. Therefore, the first and last days of a week year may have different calendar year values.
For example, January 1, 1998 is a Thursday. If getFirstDayOfWeek() is MONDAY and getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() is 4 (ISO 8601 standard compatible setting), then week 1 of 1998 starts on December 29, 1997, and ends on January 4, 1998. The week year is 1998 for the last three days of calendar year 1997. If, however, getFirstDayOfWeek() is SUNDAY, then week 1 of 1998 starts on January 4, 1998, and ends on January 10, 1998; the first three days of 1998 then are part of week 53 of 1997 and their week year is 1997

An application that presents it's UI in html5 and runs in a browser as a regular webpage. Leveraging html5 technoligies, it can do pretty much the same thing that a standard user level application does... Like a word processor. Anyways Let me google that for you![^]
But don't tell about a disk defragmanter HTML5 App!
You're new, please read the announcement at the top, this ain't the right place for asking questions...

I can beat that - I discovered a bug where new records were failing to be added.
After a number of false trails, I homed in on the following SQL user function:
ALTER function [dbo].[ufn_GetNextID](@IDTable as varchar(100), @IDColumn as varchar(100))
returns integer
as
begin
declare @NewID as integer
set @NewID=0
return @NewID
end

I don't see anything wrong there, what does "0" mean anyway?
|
|
|
|
|
if(SomeThing == SomeOtherThing);
{
DoSomeThing;
}
This one has been sitting in the codebase for a couple of years... 
At least it did SomeThing...

Which language? The C# compiler will give you a warning for that: "Possible mistaken empty statement".

Even C back in the old days gave you a warning for that.

Wich compiler ?
while (*dest++ = *source++);
is completely correct, isn't it ?
|
|
|
|

It's a warning, not an error, for that reason. This was back when I used Zortech's ANSI C compiler.

FTFY: Witch compiler
Actually, in this case the C# produces three useless wormings: both for the "while(...);" (an empty statment), "x=y" (an assigment instead of a comparison) and the "*" (an "unsafe" code), does it?

Thanks for the correction.
My example was - as a reply to the mention of C, of course a C code snippet,
and is the full working function body for strcpy().
Of course, it's unsafe - but lightning fast

Just in case you didn't get the joke there, he's making a funny about the compiler being witchcraft. The word you meant to use is 'which'.
