The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrasing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Its all about creativity.
 
You can reach destination in several ways but which one is shortest and flexible that is where good developer involved.

GeneralRe: Life of Software DevelopermemberDennis E White6 May '13 - 4:35 
so when they enter into management (without coding) does that mean they logout??
 
if that is the case then you have to allow for multiple logins. I did the management route a few years back and after a couple of years I realized I was miserable and wanted to program. Big Grin | :-D
as if the facebook, twitter and message boards weren't enough - blogged

Leave it now, but in future pay attention to what the purpose of the forum is that you are posting in to. This forum is purely for code.

Don't be sorry about it. Anyone can make a mistake when they are new here. The important thing is that you learn.

omg ... there are thousand other things ... like copy/code/paste/debug/build/run/execute/bug/bugs/more bugs/hell/fire/shout/yell/kill/hair loss/back pain/beer/more beer/etc etc
GeneralRe: Life of Software DevelopermemberBikash Prakash Dash11 May '13 - 4:59 
Haha its not like that
Along with Software development some of us are also involved with some other profession also , and they give same preference for both also.
Dat depends how we are leading our life.

From Socrates: All I know is that I know nothing. Dead | X|
 
I love it but sometimes I get tired of studying too much and I need a break. The thing is that in this field of knowledge we can't get often nor long breaks from studying and updating our's knowledge base. The more I study and get to know new things, I realize that I'm so dumb and I still need to learn so many things. That's so frustrating. Frown | :(
 
The thing is that I work from 8am to 6pm and study from 7pm to 10:30pm. I freelance on Saturdays and spend time with my family in Sundays. It's hectic and I don't have time for anything. Fortunately this is my last year in university, I believe I'll enjoy my studies and my family better from the next year and so on. Smile | :)
Generalfor(int i=0; i<size; i++)membertumbledDown2earth29 Apr '13 - 21:58 
I am sure this was one of the hello-world codes for many of us ... But I wonder why the letter "i" .. I mean why on earth? With "a" the leading character why "i" ...
 
After sometime I found out that Fortran language (which was/is historically used for scientific calculations) use "i" as a starting character for all integer type variables, and the quickest varible to write would be "i"
 
Most authors and coders continued to use "i" even in C and then to C++ and then to C#, Java etc ...
 
Is this an interpretation?
GeneralRe: for(int i=0; i<size; i++) [modified]memberLloyd Atkinson29 Apr '13 - 22:03 
i for iterator/iteration. Or i for index, as in how far through the loop it is.
           .-.
          |o,o|
       ,| _\=/_      .-""-.
       ||/_/_\_\    /[] _ _\
       |_/|(_)|\\  _|_o_LII|_
          \._./// / | ==== | \
          |\_/|"` |_| ==== |_|

When I started I thought it was i for integer.
