Is disband to make fun of a musical group?

What group? Are you talking about disband or datband?

As long as you're NSYNC with the rules of dissing.

For Nickelback it is just a reasonable suggestion.

Found this gem:
Quote: Getting an int value from enum can be challenging in C#. However, it can easily be done by using the following code:
OK, which is it? Challenging or easy?
And a horrid discussion of why it can be challenging continues on Learn C# - How To Get Int Value from Enum[^] with this code example:
enum DifferentType {
long WeInt = 1,
short creat = 2.345
}
That leaves me speechless. It's broken and borked on so many levels.

How about both?....Cheasy.

Marc Clifton most definitely did NOT write: enum DifferentType {
long WeInt = 1,
short creat = 2.345
}
I think I'm getting it ...
Yep, it's 7-letters, the first one's an 'S', it definitely ends in "UM" ...

That is broken for sure - although technically not.
However, it does make me think why don't we just use a readonly, const, static, whatever, class full of values as they (sort of) show in a later example instead of an enum? ...and no casting required.
Is it really much of a performance hit, if any?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Well, that enum is just wrong.
Will that even compile?

Hell no. Not now, not in 2016 when that post was written.

By unhappy coincidence, I've just finished writing a section for a style guide that tells people never to say that something is difficult, challenging, complicated, etc. -- because, if you do, people will believe it, and it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Marc Clifton most certainly did not write:
enum DifferentType {
long WeInt = 1,
short creat = 2.345}
Well, at least they've proven that they can count up to five -- but not much else.

This is the side effect of "You must use enums for comparisons so that the code is maintainable." code review comments.
|
|

|

I hate this kind of dogmatic crap.
What the hell is wrong with a define, in upper case for comparisons?
|
|
|
|
|
It's easy. Unless you're doing it wrong, in which case it's challenging.

Wow...
and with a slogan of "Take your skills to the next level" I'm just wondering what level they speak of?

I think they're talking about level 4 (by Dante's reckoning).

Isn't Ord(MyEnumVar) easier?
