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, embarrassing 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.

I have seen that automated line (assumption) posted before. How in the world is he supposed to know why a particular compiler prints the messages is does.

This is not a language issue, it is a compiler issue. Most compilers will just print out what they know and leave it up to you to figure out what the problem is. Some compilers will try to break it down for you, but that is, technically, not their job.

Compile after every function/method that you create, so you know where the error must lie. That is the beauty of modern coding, you do not have to get it right before actually scheduling time to compile and test it.
