I'm fine with that. When debugging, you might want to skip over the call to TryParse yet have a valid value in Port.

In that case I would #if DEBUG it.
The way it's written implies the developer assumes port will have the value 4401 if the Int32.TryParse() fails.

You can manually set values for variables while debugging C#, so initialization isn't necessary (but convenient nonetheless, although I'd remove it when done debugging) 
|

Sure, but why not simply code the value you want?

Well, since that's the wrong spelling for 'length' it's safe to assume it will only be called by an error - so if it recalls itself until it crashes, nothing's really been lost, anyway.
Thus, the balance is restored in this, the best of all possible worlds.

I suspect that the code comes from a keyboard dyslexic like myself. Since he/she regularly mis-types lenght (see?) they though it would be a good idea to cater for it... unofrtuantely they misspselt it in the function too.

I recently started working with Python. The IDE I use highlights every potential typo and stylistic error as I type. A variable name like Lenght would be flagged immediately, even though it is syntactically legal.
My goal when coding with the IDE is zero flaggings of code. In the long run it is worth it.

2. Improve this code.
3. Climb the Mount Everest.

4. Stay there, not bothering anybody.

A lot of people should add that to their list

Exactly.

How would this even work, given that "Lenght" is misspelled in both places?

You quit without finding a new job first? Possibly a little premature ... have you been reading GlennPatton-in-the-pub/not-in-the-pub/back-in-the-pub has been posting for the last year?
Good luck - I hope you won't need it!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Still..."unforeseen circumstances" are a thing. It can happen both to you and potential employers.
Even with 2 opportunities lined up, I still wouldn't quit a job without having anything in writing yet. But maybe that's just me. I'm in my mid-40s and have never quit a job.

It's all in my calculations
I'd need a whole lot of unforeseen circumstances before I get in trouble, even when these two somehow back out

Your self-confidence is to be commended.

Good luck finding a new job, looking at your profile that should not be too hard I think, and you seem to be young enough, so age should not be a problem.
If you need any tips, just let me know

Thanks!
I'm currently talking to two possible employers who would like me very much.
They both sound like I'd want to work there so I'm still in negotiations.
I'll know which one by the end of next week
